The air is getting crisper, the apples are ready for picking, and my taste buds are ready for an overload of my favorite fall food: squash! I love all kinds of squash – from pumpkin to mega spaghetti squash gourds. 
Last week, I was planning on making a pasta dish with yellow zucchini squash. I asked my boyfriend to do the shopping while I went for an 11 mile run. Instead of small yellow squash, he brought home some pretty hefty acorn squash! Silly boy. I ended up making this pasta dish instead (which was delicious) and made it a goal to try a new recipe with the acorn squash he bought.
Acorn squash is slightly sweet, so a lot of times it is baked with orange juice or a little brown sugar. That didn’t seem right for a dinner dish, so I went a more savory route.
This dish took a few pots and pans, but even so, it’s really simple. Sauté a few veggies. 
Add and hint of delicious fall apples and spices.
Stir in some savory quinoa. 
Top with cheese, stuff it all into some acorn squash, and you have yourself one fine and filling meal!
I had some filling left over after I stuffed my 4 squash halves. I topped it with avocado and ate it for lunch one day – still delicious!
What’s your favorite type of squash? How do you like to mix it into your diet? 
Stuffed squash is one of my fave fall dishes! Looks really yummy 😛
Thanks! It’s one of mine, too 🙂
OMG! That looks good! 🙂
It was delicious – definitely a keeper 🙂
What a creative idea! I love it. I have yet to try stuffing a squash but this looks brilliant. Thanks for the recipe!
Of course! Let me know if you try it 🙂
