This squash is so decadently buttery and sweet that it is difficult to believe that it is not dessert. We owe our sweet neighbor our gratitude for supplying us fresh, organic acorn squash lovingly plucked from her garden. She has ignited a squash passion in our house and this dish has become a nightly delight.

Rich and delicious.

This is an easy recipe created out of an abundance of mint, basil, and tomatoes in our garden each late summer. I love how gorgeous thickly sliced heirlooms look on a plate. We often pair this with Ray's grilled pizza and a bottle of wine. Perfect, simple dinner with friends on a lovely Portland evening.

A super-easy, inexpensive and nutritious way to celebrate the humble lentil. My mother in law used to make these for my husband when he was a child, hence the name.
