Sausage and Cranberry Stuffed Acorn Squash
Acorn squash is such a great dinner option for our family because it is the perfect size for two, it doesn’t take forever in the oven, and it’s got a nice, distinct flavor that both hubby and I love. Sometimes I just quarter or slice the squash, roast it with dried rosemary, and serve it…

This meal is SO fall. Roasted Brussel sprouts with apple, red onion, walnuts, fake bacon bits, balsamic….need I say more?!

A splash of balsamic vinegar complements the sweet, roasted veggies and brings it all together…
