Tonight's Dinner
Acorn squash - halved, seeded and roasted until tender
Stuffed with wild rice pilaf
Steamed broccoli
Baby greens salad with cucumbers and cherry tomatoes
topped with ginger dressing
Cut the squash in half and remove seeds, rub edges with a bit of oil so they don't stick and bake about 45 min at 400 degrees until fork tender.
In saute pan with about 2 Tbl of EarthBlance, cook chopped carrots, celery, mushrooms (optional) and 1.5 cups of wild rice blend until the veggies are soft. Add 3 cups of vegetable stock, ground pepper and stuffing herb mix (sage is ideal) and bring to a boil. Turn temperature to low and let simmer until rice is done.
Steam broccoli for 15 minutes.
Serve the squash filled with the rice mixture and with the broccoli on the side. Add a green salad for a fresh addition.
