During quarantine, it’s easy to get sick of the same meals. It’s also quite stressful with many family members now home, who are in typically in the home that need to be fed.
During times like these, canned food is typical, but one food item that tends to last a while outside of a can or the refrigerator is Acorn Squash. It’s also sweet, which is helpful for youngsters looking for something scrumptious. It’s great to have a fresh veggie option.
