Stuffed Squash

 This was actually made up by me, but I'm sure there's a bunch of recipes like this out there.

2 squash
1 cup quinoa
a few strips of turkey bacon
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
1/4 cup to 1/2 cup grated parmesan
drizzle of olive oil
dollap of balsamic vinegar
coarse salt and ground pepper

1. Preheat oven to 375. Take any kind of squash- smallish in size. Acorn or those cute little pumpkiny ones. Cut in half, seed, drizzle olive oil on a cookie sheet and lay the squash cut side down. Roast for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size.

2. While it's roasting throw a cup of rinsed quinoa and two cups of water in a saucepan and cook. Fry up some bacon and toast some walnuts.

3. When the quinoa's done fluff it and then add the olive oil, vinegar, chopped up bacon, walnuts, and parmesan. Scoop into the little squash bowls and feed it to your three year old and then to yourself. YUM.

  1. Hmm. I've never used quinoa to stuff squash before. I'll have to give it a whirl.
