Quinoa Stuffed Acorn Squash

Is it too late for squash recipes? I know winter is over, but they are still technically in season! Plus they are delicious and most importantly HEALTHY! You can easily make this a vegetarian dish by taking out the chicken. There is definitely potential for more ways to eat acorn squash as well. Stuffing it with lots of good stuff is my favorite. You can also make soup with it, put it on a salad, serve it as a side dish like I did HERE or eat it with maple syrup and cinnamon as a dessert.

Like its close cousins butternut squash and spaghetti squash, acorn squash is more nutrient-dense than all types of summer squash. 1 WHOLE (yes both sides) of an acorn squash only contains 172 calories! Plus it contains vitamin A, niacin, folate, thiamine and vitamin B-6, but it is an especially good source of vitamin C.
