Autumn is harvest time. You can certainly enjoy these tasty squash recipes any time of year, but they seem particularly good as the weather cools down and we go back to using our ovens again. Time to cook delicious comfort foods.

Either of these recipes can be made with a variety of squashes. I have just listed the squash I prefer to use. They are so easy. They just bake alongside a roast beef or chicken or anything else you may have the oven turned on for. And they are a great part of any healthy diet.

Citrus Baked Squash

1 butternut squash (or any squash you prefer)
a mixture of 1/2 orange juice and 1/2 water

Peel the squash and slice it crosswise, so some of the slices are thick circles, about 1-1 1/2″ thick. Arrange the slices in a Pyrex type baking dish. The size depends on the amount you are cooking. Just make sure they are in a single layer in the dish, not on top of each other.

Pour the orange juice and water mixture over the squash until it reaches about half way up the slices. Cover with foil and bake in a 350
