I saw Laurie Sanders recipe of Acorn Squash with sausage filling, it looked so good and I had a fresh Acorn Squash out of the garden so I thought I would try it. But I had some other ingredients in the frig. and garden so I started to add to it using her directions. I am going to use this same filling recipe on Butter Nut, Butter Cup, Zucchini, and other types of squash
