Patti Villers, Fit Fare - I came across this recipe on www.About.com and it sounded interesting. And the acorn squash is in season! A perfect harvest-time dish. Low-fat too! My husband and I taste-tested these rings and they are delicious. The recipe would make a perfect side dish for your Thanksgiving dinner, or as an accompaniment to your leftover meals after the holidays.
