Make plating interesting and artful. OK, anyone can toss a piece of turkey on the plate. Consider some interesting concepts such as stacking or artistic designs. Stacking can be done with a baked base of an acorn squash ring, filled with dressing, topped with succulent turkey and adored with a dollop of cranberry sauce. Artistically, a slice of turkey can be placed to one side of the plate, have 5 green beans fanned at the edge of the turkey and scoop of dressing placed slightly off-centered on top of the turkey slice. Un, deux, trois – let’s try this one. Serve your feast in large bowls instead of plates. In the center of the bowl, place a scoop of baked green bean casserole. Top that with sliced turkey. Surround the turkey with homemade dressing. Finish the grandeur with a dollop of cranberry sauce. It’s a celebration for that appetizing, inviting and smiling moment – just before taking a sumptuous bite of all-day cooking!© Kelly McBride Loft
Kelly’s Acorn Squash
Carefully slice acorn squash into rings. Remove the seeds.  Spray a deep baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Then, place the cut squash into the dish. Pour melted butter over the top of the squash. Dust the squash with cinnamon. Bake, covered, for one hour or until tender at 350⁰F. Add more butter, if needed. The squash should be tender and moist.
