This was really good! The recipe wasn't all that visually pleasing (kind of looked boring on the plate) but the flavor was outstanding! I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing such a unique way to prepare acorn squash! -
Excellent! Even people who don't like squash seem to really enjoy this dish! The sunflower seeds give it nice texture.
