no need for sugar!

Inspired by a Wegmans recipe, I made a couple twists and turns. This is a pretty darn healthy comfort food! Sweet tasting, and so simple!

Roasting adds flavor beyond belief

Nov/Dec issue Fitness magazine

Acorn squash is a satisfying side when roasted and topped with a pat of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup, but filled with a hearty stuffing of wild rice, pecans, and cranberries, it’s a meal in itself. Loaded with comforting flavors, this dish brings fall home, but it can be made any time of year
The wild rice mixture can be made up to 2 days ahead; keep it refrigerated in an airtight container.

You can make the stuffing up to 6 hours ahead; keep it covered in the refrigerator.

I was inspired by a Giada de Laurentis recipe, which I made vegan and gluten free

This is a great fall dish that is also very versatile. I have used Maple Garlic kick in leiu of Cinnamon and Nutmeg. I use "I can't believe its not butter light" to cut down on calories, but whatever your favorite butter/margarine is will work the same, just change the cals.

It can be served as a side with maple garlic chicken, an appetizer, or a meal if you are not super hungry! You could probably even scoop out the inside and puree it for a tasty soup!

A very satisfying dish full of Fall flavor. This is a great main course served intact or the squash could be scooped out after roasting (filling removed), mashed and served with the apple filling separately.

modified from Vegan with a Vengeance

Adapted from Food and Wine Magazine 3/2010. The original recipe calls for Quinoa, which would make this a complete meal since Quinoa is high in protein. My closest grocery store doesn't carry quinoa, so I adapted it with what I had on hand.

Curtis Stone's recipe from the biggest loser

Rich and flavorful non dairy butternut squash soup

This is a great alternative to the usual sweet acorn squash recipes. This recipe is quite filling on its own, but works well with a quarter cup of cooked couscous if you need a starch. Perfect for work lunches or a dinner party. It will pleasant surprise everyone mouth with these savory flavors. I found this recipe on food.com. Barb Gertz submitted the original recipe and I tweaked it a bit.

The "roasted" part of the recipe comes from including the roasted seeds from the acorn squash - I don't, personally.
