Stuffed Acorn

I had brought acorn squash for the autumn festivities, then it dawned on me: I did not know what to do with acorn! After researching on what type of flavor goes with acorn and I decided to do the similar thing with stuffed zucchini. IT WORKS! I loved it.

MEAT LOVER: So good.
GREENARIE: Oh, nom nom!
