Roasted & Stuffed Acorn Squash

Columbus Day = no work!!  With this great gift of a three day weekend after coming off a month of travel,  I am putting it to great use…cooking, exercising, cleaning, prepping for fall, and yes, catching up on all the fall shows I keep missing during the week (gotta love Scandal and Quantico!).  After a 6 mile walk through Chicago and along the waterfront this morning, I decided to keep up the clean and healthy eating by making this acorn squash recipe I stumbled upon.  I loved that it was a full meal, vs just eating the squash as a side dish.  It is very filling and scrumptious!

Poached Eggs with White Cheddar and Tomatoes

Continuing on my weekend of home cooking, I decided to test out my new egg poachers.  Poaching eggs is something I have never been able to do on my own.  Last weekend, my girlfriends and I did a weekend trip up to the Kohler Spa in Wisconsin (so fab!).  On the way back to Chicago, we stopped for a quick power shop at the outlets and I picked up a pair of Poachpods hoping they would help me master this tasty style of egg (I love runny yolk!).  It was super easy and they turned out amazing!  This recipe was thrown together with what I had in my fridge and it was super tasty.  Enjoy!
