We are now into a two-year &#8220;routine&#8221; where we go to Kate and Ned&#8217;s and spend the day with them and some of Ned&#8217;s family. It&#8217;s terrific and relaxing and I enjoy it. For whatever reason this year I&#8217;ve been cooking squash like it was going out of style. Partly it&#8217;s because I&#8217;ve been eating out less but partly it&#8217;s because I just got sick of soup. Squash, as it turns out, is delicious. So I&#8217;m now one of those women who finds recipes on <a href=\"http:\/\/thepioneerwoman.com\/cooking\/\">The Pioneer Woman<\/a> and passes them around. I&#8217;m not proud. Here are the recipes I have been making. If you&#8217;re squash-curious but don&#8217;t know where to start or never really get past the stuffed acorn meals, this is for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Acorn<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pvga.net\/recipes\/stuffedacornsquash.html\">stuffed squash with brown rice and sausage<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/iamthebestartist\/8111572812\/\">my photo<\/a>)<br \/>\n<strong>Buttercup<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.food.com\/recipe\/twice-baked-buttercup-squash-133090\">twice baked buttercup squash<\/a> OR <a href=\"http:\/\/www.food.com\/recipe\/buttercup-squash-casserole-337982\">buttercup squash casserole<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/iamthebestartist\/8219651502\/\">my photo<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/iamthebestartist\/8219646354\/\">another photo<\/a>)<br \/>\n<strong>Butternut<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/dinnerwithjulie.com\/2011\/03\/19\/creamy-red-pepper-butternut-squash-soup-cream\/\">red pepper and butternut soup<\/a> OR <a href=\"http:\/\/dinnerwithjulie.com\/2011\/01\/19\/roasted-beet-butternut-squash-soup\/\">roasted beet and butternut soup<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/iamthebestartist\/8111565411\/\">my photo<\/a>)<br \/>\n<strong>Carnival<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/krissa.org\/blog\/?p=21\">quinoa stuffed carnival squash<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/iamthebestartist\/8218568385\/\">my photo<\/a>)<br \/>\n<strong>Delicata<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/chickinthekitchen.com\/2008\/09\/30\/maple-glazed-delicata-squash-rings\/\">maple glazed squash rings<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/iamthebestartist\/8169653167\/\">my photo<\/a>)<br \/>\n<strong>Golden Acorn<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/macbebekin.wordpress.com\/2010\/11\/18\/topsy-turvy-stuffed-squash\/\">topsy turvy stuffed squash<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/iamthebestartist\/8218562983\/\">my photo<\/a>)<br \/>\n<strong>Spaghetti<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.food.com\/recipe\/low-carb-baked-spaghetti-squash-with-garlic-sage-cream-99361\">baked spaghetti squash with garlic sage cream<\/a> OR <a href=\"http:\/\/www.food.com\/recipe\/simple-spaghetti-squash-parmesan-139888\">simple spaghetti squash parmesan<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/iamthebestartist\/8219649788\/\">my photo<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t braved the giant lumpy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wisegeek.com\/what-is-a-hubbard-squash.htm\">hubbard squash<\/a> yet since I am usually just feeding me and maybe one other person.
