    This recipe is so delicious. I love it because it is so easy to make. There is no marinating time. No waiting. It can be served with rice, potatoes or even mashed sweet potatoes. Yummy!

    I have never cooked or eaten acorn squash before and we were pleasantly surprised. The whole meal was delicious and easy. I served the pork with a charred vegetable rice and now am looking forward to using the leftovers in the soba noodle salad.

    The squash prepared this way is so delicious - so sweet - it has become a regular veggie dish in our home. The pork is great too! Quick and easy.
