I have yet to try this since I’m stuck in bed for a few more weeks but it sure looks tasty and healthy.

Ingredients:

  1. 2 medium acorn squash
  2. 1 pound bulk spicy pork sausage
  3. 1/2 cup chopped onion
  4. 1 egg
  5. 2 tablespoons milk
  6. 1 cup fresh baby spinach, finely chopped
  7. 1-1/2 cups soft bread crumbs
  8. 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Directions:

Cut squash in half; remove and discard seeds. Place squash cut side down in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 10-12 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, crumble sausage into a large skillet; add onion. Cook over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. In a large bowl, beat egg and milk; stir in the spinach, bread crumbs, cranberries and sausage mixture. Turn squash cut side up. Stuff with sausage mixture. Cover and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°.
