Fall is here! I couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome the crisp air, thick sweaters and pumpkins as far as the eye can see. Pumpkins make me happier than I care to admit.

Well, squash in general makes me feel that way.

This week, the Sunday Supper family is celebrating all things Fall – with a day of Fabulous Fall Flavors. I knew I wanted to share one of my favorite ingredients on today’s table: squash.

Everytime Fall rolls around, my husband grins and bears all of the nonstop squash cooking that I dive into. From butternut squash soup to squash apple bake to squash tartines – I can’t get enough.

And I’m not even sorry when the compulsion hits me – it’s just too good!

This Maple Roasted Acorn Squash encompasses everything that I love about squash – it’s ease of preparation and it’s inherent sweetness. Maple syrup, a sprinkling of my favorite raw sugar and a dusting of cinnamon is all this golden acorn squash needs to be the center of attention at your dinner table.

Side dish or not, this squash will impress!
