Recipe
Mushroom and Rice Stuffed Squash

This recipe is a bit out of place for this time of year. It feels much more like fall than spring. But sometimes it’s good to just go with what looks good. And when I spotted some acorn squash in the market earlier this week, I couldn’t help myself from picking one up.

Or perhaps my subconscious was just rejecting the notion that bathing suit season is right around the corner and instead pining for the change in season that welcomes more clothes. Either way, this recipe is light, hearty, and makes a quick and yummy lunch or dinner. Feel free to mix up the spices, add in some ground beef, or change up the veggies to make it your own.
