acorn squash bread
I had a half a roasted acorn squash in the refrigerator that needed to be used and wondered if I could use it to make a quick bread. I used some instructions from a banana bread recipe that I had and tweaked it a little for the squash. The bread turned out really good and now I usually make it instead of banana or zucchini bread.
