I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Sweet and Spicy Roasted Acorn Squash

With those hot summer days behind us it's time to look for some comforting fall foods. Embrace the cooler weather! Dig out those big sweaters and cook some squash!

Ingredients:

1 medium acorn squash
2 tbsps avocado oil (or canola)
2 tbsps maple syrup
2-3 tsps minced garlic cloves
1 tbsp sweet chili sauce
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 pinches red pepper flakes
1-2 oz feta, crumbled
a few fresh basil leaves

 Slice the acorn squash into 1/2" slices. It is much easier to slice than you would expect. Remove the seeds and membrane.

 Combine avocado oil, maple syrup, garlic and sweet chili sauce in a bag. Add the squash rings and toss to coat.

 Place slices on an oiled baking dish and sprinkle with salt, pepper and chili flakes.

Bake at 375 F for 20 minutes, flip and bake another 20 minutes.

 Remove from oven and top with crumbled feta and basil to serve. (I love that purple basil!)
