I completely missed a week. I&#8217;m so sorry! The holidays are always busy here and I plum forgot to sit down and work on the site. Time to fix that and hopefully with some recipes that you&#8217;ll really enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that you can cook side dishes in your crockpot? Yep! Some may take a smaller one than you usually use but it can be done! Let&#8217;s get started with one of my fall favorites that can be made anytime that squash is available!<\/p>\n<p><u>Ingredients:<\/u><br \/>\nAcorn squash<br \/>\n2 Tablespoons brown sugar<br \/>\n2 Tablespoons butter<br \/>\n2 teaspoons cinnamon<br \/>\n4 pinches of salt<\/p>\n<p><u>Directions:<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Cut the squash in quarters, and scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp. Put 1\/2 Tablespoon of butter and 1\/2 Tablespoon of brown sugar into each quarter. Sprinkle 1\/2 teaspoon of cinnamon onto each brown sugar pile. Add a small pinch of salt to each quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Lower the pieces into your crockpot. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours, or on low for about 3. The squash is finished when it is fork tender and peels away from the skin easily.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Yum!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/?action=view&amp;current=Name2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/Name2.jpg\" alt=\"Photobucket\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh my gosh!
