Winter Squash with Cranberries

With all the rain and wind today I thought we needed a meal that tasted like fall. Salmon (full of Omega 3) as our main dish, a green salad, and this acorn squash turned out to be a delightful side dish. The squash was baked in the oven and then filled with cranberries and a hint of cinnamon and sugar. Simple, healthy and delicious!
Squash is full of betacarotenes, a good source of vitamins B1 and C, folic acid, fiber and potassium. Winter squashes are a good source of vitamin B6 and niacin. Cranberries, the forgotten fruit are full of vitamin C, phytonutrients and beneficial antioxidants.
