I didn't like this recipe. The acorn squash was too bland, and the orange glaze was too sweet.

This was a good recipe. I liked the orange glaze, but I think I would have preferred it with a different type of squash.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover acorn squash. I made it with some squash that I had roasted earlier in the week, and it turned out great.
