Stuffed acorn squash with a cheesy sausage and mushroom filling. It was a favorite side dish in my family when I was growing up. Now, it's one of my husband's favorite dishes. It's a great way to use up that abundant, reasonably priced, tasty fall squash.

- 1 cup chopped celery

Easy Oven-Baked Real Polenta (Not Instant)
Why stir polenta forever when this delicious recipe works beautifully? I like to roast veggies (eggplant, zucchini, onion) while the polenta bakes, then when the polenta is done, top with roasted veggies and some chopped tomatoes, some spices, and bake another 20 minutes. It's dinner.
