The return of Starbuck’s PSL and National Acorn Squash Day are two positively certain indicators that, yes indeed, fall is upon us. I can just smell cloves and cinnamon as I type today’s post. What better way to celebrate the return of autumn leaves and Acorn Squash Day then to try Fall Stuffed Acorn Squash.
