 TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! Roasted Acorn Squash and Honey from Epicurious' 39 Best Acorn Squash Recipes to Try Now! If you're looking for a little sweetness, this is one of the best acorn squash recipes. On a cool evening, serve this roasted acorn squash tossed with honey, nutmeg, and fresh sage leaves as a side dish for pork or chicken, or nestle a few slices in a bowl of whole grains. Find your Acorn Squash and Honey at the Mount Airy Main Street Farmers' Market this Wednesday! Did you know? According to Epicurious' A Visual Guide to Winter Squash Varieties, there are 12 main types of Winter Squash. The term winter squash is a bit of a misnomer: Harvested in the fall, these hardy vegetables will keep well through the cold winter months for which they're named. Naturally low in fat and calories, the winter squash family delivers significant nutritional benefits. For example, one cup of baked butternut squash is rich in vitamins A (from beta carotene), B6, C, and E, as well as magnesium, potassium, and manganese.

Johnny Appleseed — who cultivated most of the apple trees throughout Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and present day West Virginia during the late 1700s and early 1800s. And he didn't just spread seeds everywhere he walked. Chapman mapped out nurseries, protected them with fences, and had neighbors tend the trees." Does eating an apple a day keep the doctor away? Yes! But you have to eat the peel! Many of the antioxidants in an apple are in the skin, which might have cancer-fighting properties.
