Acorn Squash Latkes

Lately we have been trying to buy a couple different vegetables each week to get ourselves to try new things. It has been fun and we have come up with some good combinations.

Last night the veggie of choice was an acorn squash. It isn't too crazy or out there, but it is delicious and really pretty. I love the shape. Too be honest that is a big part of the reason that I bought it.

To come up with a new recipe I usually go to epicurious.com. It has a great database of really good recipes. I found recipes for gnocchi, lasagna, couscous and so on, all containing acorn squash. The one that got me excited though was the latkes, because it was a very veggie meal, instead of being a carb covered by a veggie.

You can find the recipe at:

I halved the recipe for a main course for the two of us, which was 1 squash.


It is actually meant to be for butternut squash, but they have a very similar flavor. It says to serve it with yogurt which I thought sounded delicious, but sadly we were out of yogurt. The salad was nice with it to give a little freshness and crunch to the meal. But all in all we would make this meal again.

Any ideas for new veggies next week?

Oh and as a side note, as soon as I get up from this computer I am going to start making bread bowls, so be looking tomorrow Juliet, or anyone else who loves things served in bread instead of dishes.
