Acorn Squash stuffed with Cabbage, Peppers and Onions

September 13, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 6 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Since I’m still having connection issues with my blog, I’m going to have to minimize my photos for a while to save space, sorry about that.  Nothing worse than having blog issues.   Anyway, for today’s recipe, I am making a tasty repeat recipe that I made last year.  I have been waiting months to make this dish!!!  Months I tell ya!!

When I was at Sprouts Farmers Market the other day, they had butternut, spaghetti and acorn squash in stock.  I was so excited that I bought all three.  Ohhh yum, yum, yum, yum!  Tonight it was finally time to make my Acorn Squash stuffed with cabbage, peppers and onions.  I just love this recipe!!!  It’s so weird too, because I’m not a huge fan of cabbage!  I think November of last year was probably one of my last times I had acorn squash.  Oh how I missed it!!   One big plus for the Fall season!!

I originally got this recipe from one of Guy Fieri’s cooking shows.  I don’t recall which one, but I remember back then, I checked Foodnetwork’s website and they didn’t have the recipe posted yet, so I kind of winged it.  I think he added mushrooms to it, but I don’t like mushrooms so I skipped it.  This acorn squash is savory from the cabbage, peppers and onions with just a hint of sweetness from the squash.  The crumbled goat cheese is what really ties it all together.  This is by far one of my favorite, favorite acorn squash recipes, plus it’s easy to make, which is a bonus.


I changed up the calculations to the recipe a bit because the acorn squash I have is really small.  Maybe a little bit bigger then a softball.  I posted this recipe for two servings, but I ate them both for dinner.  Hey it’s healthy and I was hungry!!!  Honestly one half would not have been enough, if this is all you are having for dinner.

I posted the original recipe here in case you would like to see the step by step instructions.  The hardest part about making this recipe is cutting the squash.  I cut the top and bottom so it sits flat on the baking pan, plus I had to cut it in half.  Be careful cutting the squash!!  You don’t want to cut your fingers!

You could also roast the acorn squash seeds like you would pumpkin seeds, but since this squash was so small it only had a few seeds, I didn’t feel it necessary to add them this time.  However, if you have a big one, make the seeds!  🙂  There healthy, yummy and add a nice crunchy addition to your meal.

P.S.  Do you like acorn squash?  What is your favorite way to prepare it?  My second favorite way is with butter and brown sugar or maple syrup!  Yum!!!!

    I have never tried an acorn squash! I just love when you find special things at the farmers’ market. Great recipe!

    I live in on the Japanese island of Okinawa, and it’s tough to find certain ingredients. Thankfully, I can always find acorn squash, cabbage, and onion. However, the bell peppers are almost $5/pound! So I’m going to double this recipe but only use 1 bell pepper (which I’m sure won’t yield 1 cup, but maybe I have something else I can throw in).
    This will go great on the side of my extra-lean, chicken “fried” steak!

      Sounds wonderful Alicia! This is one of my favorite meals. I can’t believe peppers are almost $5.00 a pound! Wow!! I pay about a $1.29 for one pepper. I hope you enjoy it!

Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and E Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and Easter? I’m sure going to miss styling with bunnies, eggs and carrots. It seems Easter is early this year. I have no clue how I will decorate after Easter? I may just keep my decor up past the holiday?
🐇
I’m sharing with you my new centerpiece on my dining room table. It has a peach theme to match with my carrot cart. The beautiful white trays are from my friends at @feltcreativehome. I staggered the smaller tray onto the big tray by putting some candles under it. I think it looks pretty cool this way. You will be seeing these trays again as they are the perfect size for styling my decor. The trays come in a set of two. You can find them on Amazon under Felt Creative Home.
🐇
The tea towel is from my friend Alicia @theblessedpeach. The beautiful wooden bunny is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. The ceramic bunnies, candy and glass jars are from Target.
🐇
Do you have any plans for Easter?

I am sharing with you how I styled my little table. I received the cutest wooden eggs from @sugarnmilkco. I love the pastel colors. They are just so cute and go with my Easter decor beautifully.

Sugar n Milk Co is having a Spring sale. Be sure you check them out. They ship fast too. The link is in my bio.

Hope the sun is shining where you live!

I want to give my apologies to the folks in the Philadelphia area. I seemed to have brought the California rain with me when I was there Thursday-Saturday. 😂 Hopefully you got some sun after I left.

This is a view if my livingroom. I really like how I styled my console table. The bunny sign and egg tree are from my friends @12timbers. I’ll be sad when Easter is over.

Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.

The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!
