Stuffed Acorn Squash Recipes

Healthy subsitute for a good dessert.

You can change it up with hamburger or different veggies for filling.

This is great for Thanksgiving or anytime. You decide if it is a side dish or dessert!

It's getting to be late autumn and it's time to take advantage of those winter squashes. One of my favorites is the acorn squash. I also wanted something a little different so I made up this vegetarian chorizo stuffed squash.

modified from real simple - original recipe called for curred chorizo and machego cheese, no spinach or onion.

Quick and easy dinner in an edible bowl! If cut in quarters, can also be a side dish.

Tasty alternative to other stuffed squash recipies

Delicious way to get whole grains and veggies in your diet

This is a Better Homes & Gardens New Dieter's Cook Book, Meredith, 1st Ed., 1992, recipe on page 136. I modified the recipe here. I used 2 slices of a thin light multi-grain bread that have a total of 70 calories for both pieces, so I added a 1/4 c. more applesauce

Very yummy way to eat your fruits and veggies along with some healthy whole grain Quinoa.

This was a little bit of an "emptying out the fridge" and the CSA box recipe that I liked so much I've ended up using it regularly. You can use a mix of brown and wild rice instead of the quinoa, but subbing in bread crumbs in just seams to fall flat.

Apple mixed with crushed walnuts, baked into acorn squash, makes a delightful fall dish.

This is a Martha Stewart recipe, as found in her magazine. I actually think you should bake the squash at 350 instead of 400.... I baked at 400 for 35 minutes and the squash was too tender. I turned down to 350 for the finish. Still, very yummy overall :)

Very filling autumn meal!

This is a great entree for a vegetarian at Thanksgiving.
