I wanted something savory and filling for lunch today. I notice that sometimes when I try to eat healthy, I end up craving, starving and grazing my cabinets.
Today, I found the perfect solution. Behold the “Asparagus Risotto in an Acorn Squash”. YES!
Oh man, this was the most delicious lunch I’ve had in a LONG time. I cut an acorn squash in half, took out the seeds and microwaved it covered for 8 minutes (per the label on the squash). All kinds of squash are totally in season now, and are pretty cheap, filled with fiber and really healthy.
Then I used a half a bag of Trader Joes “Asparagus Risotto” and stuffed the squash with it. It was totally fun to eat, and satisfied my stomach. I’m typing this now in pure bliss. I love the feeling of being full, knowing it was body-loving food that filled it. 🙂 I have a feeling this is going to keep me full all afternoon. That’s the power of Squash.
