We came close to the first frost of the season this week, although today was in the mid 70's. But the cooler nights have inspired me to break out the crockpot. I've made vegetable soup and crockpot chili in the past week. Tonight I roasted a spaghetti squash and served it sprinkled with leftover pizza sauce and curls of parmesan cheese.

I used to believe that I hated winter squash, but that was based on Grandma BamaVol's serving that nasty thawed mush with Thanksgiving dinner. Fresh baked acorn or hubbard squash with lots of butter and cinnamon is delicious.
