If you are hosting a large fall gathering, like Thanksgiving, here is a great vegetarian and vegan friendly entree that is sure to please a crowd. Not only are acorn squash (well all squash) in season during the fall they are a belly warming way to introduce some extra vegetables into your life, even if you aren't a meat abstainer.

Not only does purchasing seasonal vegetables and fruit help reduce your grocery costs, they also help in lowering your environmental impact as the produce don't need to travel as far to get to you.

So I figured I would develop a recipe relying mostly on local and seasonal produce from the Farmer's Market (although you can obviously buy all of your ingredients from the grocery store and some of my stuff definitely did come from the store too).
