Simple Baked Squash

• 1 medium acorn squash
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Cut squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds.  Slice a bit off the shell to make the squash sit securely in a baking dish.

Spread butter on open face.  Place face-up in baking dish with a little water in it.  Sprinkle brown sugar on face.  You can also sprinkle on one shake of nutmeg and two shakes of cinnamon if you want.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 to 60 minutes until fork tender.
