Acorn Squash in your slow cooker
This is a simple recipe that not only makes your house smell fantastic as you cook it, but will wonderfully satisfy your craving for the taste of fall. Sweet and savory, healthier than pie, and pairs perfectly with baked chicken. We love to make this the evening we carve pumpkins.
