If you are racking your brain for a fun side dish to serve with Christmas dinner …look no further than these Baked Creamy Corn Acorn Squash !

True story I had just got done shooting these squash when my husband walked through the door.  I was cleaning up my photo shoot and kind of eating one of the squash.  He asked if they were free-game now that I was done – I said “yes” – and he proceeded to eat two of these squash within minutes.  They are that. good. He isn’t allergic to dairy (like me) and devoured these.

Bottom line – you don’t need to be allergic to dairy to enjoy these!!!

And they are really so simple to make! I will definitely be making these again this holiday season!!!

Other fun side dishes include this Dairy-Free Green Bean Casserole or this Paleo-Friendly Sweet Potato Pie Bake!
