Fall brings an abundance of vegetables. Don't be afraid to try some of the different varieties available of winter squash. We found this kabocha squash,also called buttercup squash, and it was wonderful. Butternut or acorn may be easier to find, whatever is local is best. These squash are loaded with beta carotene. You can also use link sausage in this old southern recipe, just squeeze it out of the casing. Turkey sausage will also work. Make a Waldorf salad while the squash is in the oven. Voila, dinner is served!
