Vegetarian Stuffed Acorn Squash

I love the fall.

The crisp cool air, the colorful leaves, roasted vegetables, homemade Pumpkin Spice Pecan Muffins. There are so many things to enjoy during this time of year. 🙂

I leap with excitement when I see squash and gourds and Indian corn in the markets! And I then proceed to buy them all.

And then when you roast them with some olive oil, kosher salt and black pepper, they become deee-lish!

I chose to do a vegetarian filling for Meatless Monday. Shredded chicken or sausage works perfectly with this recipe! Just add it in the vegetables as they are sauteing.
