Overflowing Acorn Squash

I think I might have a squash problem. Good thing New England has a plethora from which to choose. I just can’t resist a good looking gourd! And acorn squash is so pretty AND so tasty, I am at it’s mercy…so I filled it up with savory bits and went to town on it. Check…

Stuffed Pumpkin Goes Paleo
