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.

Well, my Husband is gone for the evening, yah!!  So that means I can turn on the oven and do some baking or maybe make some peanut butter, but first I have to do the dreaded dishes!!!  So off I go!  Oh, one least thing don’t forget to enter my Williams-Sonoma giveaway!  Just go here.

Have a wonderful day!!!

Toodles,

Jen

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 Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target. 
🐰
Have the best day!

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
