Squash has a thicker rind which makes the perfect base for stuffing and then digging in. So let’s

Go ahead and see what a simple nutritious sauté paired with a this winter veggie can do

for your dinner, and watch this Acorn Squash become a shining star!

  • ½ cup zucchini, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp. coarse salt
  • ½ cup beef or chicken stock
