Creamy Baked Acorn Squash

The thought that popped into my head just after the all of 2 minutes that it took me to prep this dish was "why can't all recipes be this easy?" 

Because, well, that is just what this recipe is- easy, simple, and satisfying. I believe that the later is true for all recipes featured in Everyday Food. That is why I love that little magazine so much. It is always inspiring to see unique combinations of ingredients and flavors and unique ways of executing delicious non- stressful dishes.

My obsession for all things Martha Stewart began at a young age, and I am not about to cease being excited every time a new publication comes out :)

I will be back shortly... In the meantime, enjoy!
