Acorn squash is a delicacy to me. It is a tongue happy meal i say and by adding quinoa & cranberries ( i love cranberie) it brightened it up. Not all meals need to have red meat when you have a full acorn squash. This light dinner will not have you loosen your belt, buut feel delighfully full. Try it and see se and let me know I would love to see your plate.
