- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium winter squash, halved lengthwise and seeded (butternut, acorn, etc.)

- Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 400 degrees.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
