Teriyaki Pineapple Stuffed Acorn Squash

July 8, 2014 by Bethany And Rachel Leave a Comment

Stuffed anything is always the best! Stuffed zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms peppers, the possibilities are endless (made stuffed versions of all of these . I mean i’m kinda obsessed with stuffing veggies that are already delicious with even more amazing fillings. Not quite sure of how I came up with this idea, but I’m pretty glad I did! It’s kinda like Autumn and Asian cuisine had a baby, a very sweet and savory delicious child! The flavors in this come together wonderfully, just like a perfect harmony! Make your taste buds happy and go ahead and prepare this dish!
