So I promised you a recipe. I had the whole post written and hit the wrong button and now it is gone! I've been putting this one off because I wanted a picture of it. Alas part of learning to live happy is to learn to live imperfectly.
Stuff Acorn Squash:
(makes roughly 6 servings)
1 small acorn squash per two servings (as the farmer calls them microwave size)
1/2 cup lentils
1/2 cup rice
1 Tbsp butter
1 tsp coriander
1 slice cheese per serving
In water, butter and coriander, cook rice and lentils together.
As needed cut a acorn squash in half (see picture). Each half is one serving. Poke holes in the sides of the squashes you plan to eat immediately. Place prodded squash cut-side down on a microwave safe plate. Microwave on high for ten minutes. The squash should have mostly changed color by the end of the ten minutes as you are essentially steam/baking it.
Fill squash with rice/lentil mixture and cover with a slice of cheese. Microwave on high for another minute or two depending on how melty you like your cheese.
I suggest you serve either with a meat or salad of some sort. It can make a main dish too. (See veggie friends I'm not meat-centric. ;) I general eat it with potato perogies which is a recipe to come. French fries might be a nice kid pleaser.
