Kath,
The acorn squash looks amazing! Is that mixture for the whole squash…or just half? Thanks.
kwaze ,
Sorry! It’s for 2 halves. Serves 2. Each person gets a half!

Hi Kath! I tried this tonight and LOVED IT! I used a brown rice medley from Trader Joe’s that also had barley and threw a few pieces of leftover grilled chicken into the mixture and it was great! I also used creamy goat cheese because thats all I had. I just stirred a little bit into the whole mixture and popped it all back in the oven. It was DELICIOUS. Thanks for the recipe, you’re the best
Two questions could I store the extra half in the refrigerator for the next night (it’s just me)? And heat it up in the microwave later.
Next I have leftover millet. Do you think that would work here instead of brown rice?
Thanks!!
Ashley H,
Of course and of course!.

By the way I made this and it is amazing!! I have actually made it three times already! Thanks Kath! Your recipes are always amazing.
Hey Kath!! Ok, so I’ve tried ANOTHER one of your recipes and AGAIN it is wonderful! Except I used a buttercup instead of an acorn squash. Thank you for sharing your creative recipes!!
I made this last night except I substituted quinoa for brown rice. A delicious fall meal! I ate half last night and took the other half to work for lunch. Yum yum.
Kath,
Once again you have inspired me expand my food experiences! I made this tonight for dinner and it was OUTSTANDING!! Thanks so much!
Your food looks wonderful and we are seeking out new healthy foods….I was wondering though if you ever post nutritional information on your recipes like calories, fat, etc. etc….I am not finding that information on your website unless I am just looking in the wrong place.
Hey Janet,
I don’t normally post them, but you can plug the ingredients into a nutrition data calculator and get the info that way.

Hi Kath! This recipe looks really good! I was wordering if you think I can use fresh cranberries instead of dried ones? Thank you!
Yes I think that would be excellent! Just a bit more tart
