HELLO FALL! This truly is the best time for produce all year! I love all Fall squash but this right here is the first time I’ve ever had acorn squash. I know…I’m crazy right?!

Stuffed squash is one of the easiest and most adorable recipes. I enjoy roasting in the oven or using the air fryer. Once I am done with my pics I go crazy and dump it all into a big bowl and pull the skin off, mix and dig in. Call me nuts but trust me it is DELISH!
