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!!
