I'm Stuffed!

I love to play the game “Let’s see what I can throw together for dinner tonight”.  See, I never cook with recipes. In my opinion, recipes are for baking. I must just feel so confined by baking from recipes all day long, that I have a need to bust loose and create my meals off the cuff. 

This is one of my favorite of said meals- a colorful, vegetarian/vegan one - that’s easy to make, ridiculously tasty and SUPER nutritious.  May I introduce to you...

The Quinoa Pilaf-Stuffed Delicata!

Use a local, possibly organic delicata squash (or any variety of squash for that matter), half it, oven roast it until soft and stuff it with quinoa pilaf. I make my pilaf with organic black or red quinoa (the more color the better!) and any combo of the following: cumin, cinnamon, leek, shallot, sea salt, golden raisins or currants, roasted almonds or pine nuts, chopped greens, goat cheese, chopped olives, capers, sundried tomato, the kitchen sink (I have a new one, so it’s clean).....

You basically can’t go wrong here, so have fun with it.

And if you use a delicata, eat the skin too!
