Winter Squash-

I found this easy delicious recipe for stuffed acorn squash, I love it because roasting the squash brings out all the flavor, but the stuffing is added at the very end, so it doesn't get over cooked.  
-1 Acorn Squash cut into quarters and remove seeds
- 1/2 bunch swiss chard
- 1 onion
- garlic
- 1 tomato
-grated parmesan cheese
- breadcrumbs

Place squash on a baking sheet drizzle with olive oil and salt bake at 425 until tender ~ 45 min.  
- Sautee the onion and garlic until tender then add in the swiss chard, once it is wilted add the tomatoes and let cook for a few minutes.
- Fill squash with the vegetables and top with breadcrumbs and cheese.
- Broil on high until cheese is melted
Enjoy!
