Between my recent vacation (where calories don’t count) and Halloween, it’s pretty safe to say that my diet as of late has been lacking in all forms. Heavy meals, too much beer and sugar-ladden treats have quickly replaced anything of value and have made me feel laggy and less than stellar.
With that in mind, I’ve been on the hunt for meals that are easy to throw together, full of flavour and leave me wanting more. When I stumbled upon this recipe for middle eastern stuffed acorn squash*, I knew I had to give it a shot. Not only does is scream fall, but the flavours are intense and delicious and taste anything but healthy.
*It should be noted that I doubled the amount of cinnamon, cardamom & mint the recipe calls for. Additionally, I added a teaspoon of cumin, turmeric and coriander to boost the flavours even more. I am a spice advocate through and through
Looks really yummy, I´ll put it on my “Must try”-list! :-)
Let me know what you think!

Thank you Sarah!
Oh yum! This looks absolutely delicious! I don’t think I’ve ever had this squash before…
It was my first time too – it won’t be my last!
Looks amazing..I am going to try it..and this from a person who did not like veggies as a youngster!!

Times have changed mom!
I’m so upset…I JUST made my acorn squash last night. I roasted it simply because I couldn’t find any yummy recipes like this one. Definitely keeping this in mind for next time!

haha OH NO! That has totally happened to me before. Next time for sure!
I’ve fallen off the wagon in the food department as of late, too, so I need this in my life! Looks wonderful!
It definitely helped me justify the extra Halloween candy I had later that evening. Oops…
I hear you on the overindulging thing. I have also been feeling sluggish because of my recent diet. This looks like a delicious recipe to add to my get-it-together-to-feel-better arsenal!

pinning this immediately! squash makes things so easy in the winter. i love the simplicity of spaghetti quash recipes as well. :)
oh man – I recently discovered spaghetti squash and I’m obsessed! Some quality tomato sauce, some fresh parm – too good
Reminded me of stuffed zucchini, usually made with a rice and meat mixture. So good
ooo that sounds really good too!
I’ve been looking for a great acorn squash recipe. This looks like a winner. I, too, am a spice advocate. I will add Corriander to anything.
