I like good food, but the older I get, the more I know I need to go for nutrient-rich food while I’m seeking good taste. Take, for example, the food in my most recent post, acorn squash. All winter squashes are winners when it comes to nutrients. They are excellent sources of Vitamin A, but they are also very good sources of other vitamins and even contain good stuff like Omega-3s. When I want to know how healthy my food is, I often go to a web site: World’s Healthiest Foods. Here’s the link for winter squash:

Happy, healthy cooking and baking!
