ACORN SQUASH WITH WILD MUSHROOM CRANBERRY STUFFING
This is very delicious! It can easily be doubled or even tripled. I have added some sausage to this as well at times. I roast my squash first with a little maple syrup rather than do the micro-wave, but am including the micro-wave method here as well. This is an adapted recipe from Bon Appetit, October 1995.
