Hello Foodie Friends,

Holiday are here! A very special time of the year to enjoy with family and friends and be grateful for all the blessings.

One of the new recipes I created this Fall season is this quinoa stuffing, and nicely served over roasted acorn squash, loaded with veggies and lots of fall flavors. The key is in the seasonings, a tasty blend of herbs like sage, rosemary and thyme gives this stuffing a delicious earthy aroma. Now, my special spin is adding some walnuts for an extra layer of crunch and meaty consistency. To give this stuffing an extra festive flare, I like to top it off with pomegranate seeds and fresh Italian parsley.

Here are the key basic ingredients:

quinoa
celery
carrots
mushrooms
onions
sage
roseamry
thyme

A great combination of veggies as the base for this quinoa stuffing.

Once all is cooked, add the stuffing over the acorn squash and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

The final touch are these bright pomegranate seeds.

Let's Dishplay it together and ELEVATE this Holiday Season with easy, tasty and fun recipes.

xoxo,

Myriam
