Slow cooker golden acorn squash chili, from Coconut & Lime

Any recipe that packs four different heat-producing ingredients into one bowl, like this golden acorn squash chili, goes right to the top of my list. Rachel of Coconut & Lime balances the natural sweetness of acorn squash with fresh, smoked, and dried ground peppers. Best of all, everything goes into a slow cooker at once, and hangs out for up to eight hours. Use other winter squash (blue hubbard would be wonderful), or combine several types. Vegan and gluten-free, the stew is hearty and zesty enough to serve to your football-watching friends at halftime.

This sounds like such a perfect Meatless Monday dish. It makes me want to try blue hubbard squash, which is not that common here.

Kalyn, some of the farm stands around here grow the blue hubbard. The best way to open it is to drop it on the sidewalk! (A chef taught me that trick.)

This is a Great blog! I'm so happy I found this.
