COCONUT ACORN SQUASH

Coconut Acorn Squash image

Save yourself some time in the kitchen and toss the squash in the microwave for a truly quick dish. Sometimes squash can be a bit tasteless. I conquer this by adding a bit of mango chutney and coconut. It really makes the flavor pop. -Deirdre Cox, Kansas City, Missouri
