Tuesday's Food Tip - Try Delicious Winter Squash

If you don’t know squat about squash (especially winter squash), you’re missing out.


Spaghetti Squash

There are so many delicious varieties of winter squash available at your local supermarket right now. Don't be intimidated by these sometimes large, oddly shaped, colorful fruits of the gourd family.

Instead, take a little time to learn more about winter squash from Hormel Foods. This is an excellent site with photos to help you identify the different varieties of winter squash and learn how to cut and cook them.


Acorn Squash

Next, experiment with a few mouth-watering recipes. Make Stuffed Acorn Squash for dinner one night, or whip up some Squash Cornbread to surprise and delight your family.


Butternut Squash

Prepare Candied Butternut Squash With Cinnamon and Honey for a special meal, or serve Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with a green salad for a warm winter supper.

Try delicious winter squash. It just might become a family favorite.
