This recipe is a bit bland. I would add some more herbs and spices to the stuffing.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the acorn squash and they didn't even realize they were eating vegetables.

This recipe was a hit at my Thanksgiving dinner! The acorn squash was perfectly cooked and the turkey stuffing was moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again next year.
