Stephanie, About.com's guide to cooking for kids shows you how to make a Mexican-spiced dip, a sweet strawberry dip, and an easy tofu ranch dip, and suggests a few things to serve with them. I really like her style of cooking - quick, simple and healthy. Enjoy!

Three ways to enjoy fall and winter squashes

This is the time of year to enjoy fall and winter squashes. Butternut and acorn squash are my favorites, but there's plenty to choose from, so perhaps see what you can find locally grown, wherever you are in the world. Over the next few blog posts, I'll be featuring a few simple and healthy ways to enjoy fresh seasonal squash.

Squash makes a great entree for vegetarians and vegans. So colorful and such a great presentation! Mildly flavored squash lend themselves well to being stuffed with any number of things. Try stuffing roasted squash with your favorite rice salad, lentil salad, or even a fruit medley. Here's a few recipes to get you inspired:

• Baked stuffed squash with beans (pictured)
• Barley stuffed squash
