Don’t Be Wasteful: Make Stuffed Squash

Published on October 23, 2012 By Emily. Updated on October 23, 2012

Last week, in an effort to use up a squash I’d forgotten about taking home from a CSA pickup, as well as some other vegetables and odds and ends in assorted storage containers, I made stuffed squash.

Since the goal of this dish was simply to create a one dish meal that made the most of what I had on hand, I don’t have an exact recipe.  I do have guidelines.

I cut a Red Kuri squash in half and baked the two halves at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, I cooked 2 cups of wild rice in vegetable broth.  I added sliced radishes, broccoli, onions and carrots, as well as some black eyed peas and a little bit of olive oil, to the cooked, but still hot wild rice and mixed the ingredients to combine.  The hot rice slightly cooked the vegetables.  

When the squash was soft, I spooned half of the filling mixture into each half of the squash.  The squash made a perfect vehicle for serving up some late summer vegetables that needed to be used up.  The flavors were bright and the hot squash was an excellent compliment.  I’m really happy with the way this meal turned out and I’m looking forward to seeing what else I can fill squash with as the fall continues.

Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we had another fantastic year at @freshgrassfestival. I can never get over how, in addition to all the incredible music, the event features a great venue (@massmoca), delicious food from mostly local vendors, a great local beer tent and bar stocked with @berkshiremtdist and a kid-friendly atmosphere including a @kidspacemm art tent.
Shout-out to some of my favorite acts of the day @ajleebluesummit, @cj_field with @gregcaproni and @theblacklegacyproject.

Looking forward to next year!

I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in La I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in Lanesborough this morning to pick blueberries with my daughter. We had a lovely time at the farm, and especially enjoyed the short walk to the lush blueberry bushes, and the beautiful flower and lavender fields. We didn't participate in pick-your-own flowers today, but it's definitely on my radar for the future.
We are looking forward to some muffin baking soon! 🫐
