Acorn squash is the most plentiful of the winter squash varieties available at the market.
Enjoy its delicious pumpkinlike flavor in a number of dishes. Or, just slice in half and bake with some butter on top, then eat it right out of the shell.

Red peppers are known to be the sweetest of the bells.
