Mashed Acorn Squash image

I love squash, and this one is delicious. I saved the seeds and toasted them, yummy. I actually didn't add the brown sugar or spices, but just crushed a clove of garlic and threw it into the hollow of the squash while it was baking. I do this with spaghetti squash too. Sometimes I prefer the savory to the sweet.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more salt and pepper. I also found that the squash was a bit too watery.
