Pueblo Squash

 Turns out the baked squash with brown sugar that my mom used to make was also a New Mexican recipe! So simple to make and so satisfying for a fall side or snack. Or even the meal if you want to add tomatoes, corn or a meat like your favorite taco filling to it. 

Cut an acorn or butternut or... (fill in the blank) squash in half and remove the seeds. Sprinkle the flesh with salt and pepper. Brush it with butter, then sprinkle it with brown sugar. 

Cover with foil or place in a baking dish with a lid and bake at 375 for about an hour - until the flesh gives way to a fork piercing it easily.
