\nCalories: 219
\nProtein: 5g
\nCarbohydrates: 44g<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

Ingredients<\/b>
\n4 medium acorn squash, halved lengthwise with the seeds removed
\n3 cups of water
\n2 cups quinoa
\n2 teaspoons olive oil
\n1 \u00bd cups diced onion
\n1\/2 cup diced carrots
\n1\/2 cup diced celery
\n1 tablespoon minced cardamom
\n1\/8 tablespoon of turmeric
\n1\/2 cup dried cranberries
\n1\/3 cup diced apples
\n1\/4 cup dried currants
\n1\/3 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
\n1\/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
\n1 cinnamon stick
\n1\/2 teaspoon of sea salt
\nFreshly ground black pepper<\/p>\n

Directions<\/b>
\nPreheat oven to 350 degrees F. Adjust rack to the middle shelf.<\/p>\n

Simmer the quinoa in 3 cups of water to make fluffy, this should take 15 to 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

While the quinoa cooks, add the onions and 1\/2 teaspoon of salt and cook until softened, stirring frequently, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the carrots, celery, cardamom and turmeric.
\nUsing fresh apples, cut into small dices and soak with lemon juice. Cover the pan and simmer the vegetables for 5 minutes until they are tender.<\/p>\n

In a big bowl, toss together the quinoa and vegetables. Stir in the dried fruit, diced apples, pumpkin seeds, nutmeg and season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

Brush the skin of the squash lightly with olive oil. Place the squash, cut side down, in a baking pan.
\nPour 1\/2-inch of boiling water into the pan and bake for 20 minutes to soften the squash.<\/p>\n

Move the squash to a plate and set aside until cool enough to handle.
\nStuff the squash halves with the quinoa mix, return them, stuffing-up to the pan, and bake until the flesh can be easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife. This should take 30 minutes or less.

\n5. Drink More Water\/Kick off your day with a Green Smoothie <\/b>– With all the fun festivities don’t forget to stay hydrated. I like kicking off my mornings full off veggies and fruits and don’t skimp just because its the holidays.<\/p>\n
