¼ cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup milk
¼ cup cooking oil

PREPARATION
> Stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add eggs, milk and oil. Beat just until smooth. Pour into a greased 9x9x2 inch baking pan. Bake at 425° for 20-25 minutes.

ACORN SQUASH INGREDIENTS
4 medium acorn squash
(about 22 ounces each)

PREPARATION
> Cut squash in half widthwise. Remove and discard seeds and membranes. With a sharp knife, cut a thin slice from the bottom of each half so squash sits flat. Place in a greased 15” x 10” x 1” baking pan. Add about a 1/4 inch of water to the bottom of the baking pan so that the skins don’t burn and the squash doesn’t get dried out. Coat one side of a large piece of heavy-duty foil with cooking spray. Cover pan tightly with foil, coated side down. Bake at 350° degrees for 30 minutes. Remove squash from oven. Remove foil, being careful of steam. Fill squash halves with about ½ cup stuffing mixture. Re-cover filled squash and return to oven-. Cook for another 20 minutes or until squash is tender. Remove foil and bake another 5-10 minutes until stuffing begins to brown.
