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! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?
