Wild Rice Stuffed Acorn Squash for #SundaySupper

Who’s ready for fall? I have to say – the past few days have kind of managed to get me into a fall-like mood. It’s been raining almost non-stop since Wednesday, and the slightly cooler temperatures have made me think about fall. Those of you who live farther north are probably already experiencing the crisp, cool air though! In the meantime, I’m cranking up our air conditioning a bit and pretending….with some wild rice stuffed acorn squash!

I have a confession: although I am a HUGE fan of squash, I had never tried acorn squash until recently. I don’t really know why: it makes no sense to me that I’ve passed it by at the market until now! I like that acorn squash softens when roasted, much like a butternut, but doesn’t have the same level of sweet flavor. It paired oh so well with the stuffing I created…chock full of mushrooms, wild rice, walnuts, and dried cranberries. Hello, taste treat!

You could serve this squash as a side dish, but I definitely ate mine as a main course paired with a salad. I’m already contemplating it as an option to serve for my Thanksgiving meal this year. Oh boy – is it really getting that close?!?!?! I have a sneaking suspicion there will be many more acorn squash roasts in my future…with a plethora of different fillings to boot! What to try next, that is the question!

Do you like acorn squash? How have you prepared it in the past?
