I tried something new the other day and it turned out so good.
Its just like stuffed bell peppers but using half a roasted acorn squash instead of the bell pepper.
The squash becomes the bowl for the filling and the best part is that you don't have to worry about peeling it before hand.

Here's the recipe:


Ingredients

2 acorn squash, halved and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds turkey or chicken sausage, casings removed
1 onion
1 cup cooked brown rice (I used the microwaveable kind)
add a bell pepper if you like


Directions

-Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

-Place the squash halves face-down in a baking dish in 1/2 inch of water and bake until flesh is tender, about 40 minutes.

-Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the onion until tender. Add the sausage and cook until brown, breaking the meat into small pieces as it cooks. Add the cooked brown rice, season to taste with your favorite meat seasoning and set aside.

-Once the squash halves are tender, discard the water. Sprinkle the flesh with salt, cumin and chili powder (optional).

-Fill the squash halves with the browned sausage, and top with Parmesan (optional).Let me tell you something a tad easier that will ad more flavor to your squash. Prick it and, bake it whole. The insides add so much flavor plus, it is so much easier to cut in half when it's already cooked.

For something slightly different...

Cut an acorn squash in half, scoop out the seeds, fill with butter, brown sugar, pecans and raisins. Wrap in plastic wrap and microwave around 6 minutes or until tender.

As easy as could be and yummy

or maybe even agave syrup? I've been using more of that lately too.

Agave nectar is sweeter than honey but be careful, as using too much can be very unhealthy....

Not using a lot. Just using it sparingly on grapefruit and tea and stuff...

I honestly didn't know that
I was under the impression that agave was a good alternative to syrups and sugars.
I'm going to research it more. Thanks for the heads up.

and thanks for the links!
I'm getting an education today

Thanks Angel
