Today is my first day back to work in about a month. Not impressed. I forgot that there are two 4 o'clocks in the day and I wasn't ready to see this one yet.
Last night for dinner I made the stuffed acorn squash, which of course, I did not follow the original post exactly. So, here we go:
Stuffed Acorn Squash
(9 points - sweet potato, black beans and avocado)
-1 acorn squash
-1 can of black beans
-1 sweet potato
-1 tomato
-banana peppers (my hubs doesn't like spicy, so I switched the jalapeno for the banana peppers)
-garlic seasoning
1. Peel the skin off the sweet potato and cut it up into little cubes, sprinkle with garlic seasoning and bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes, or until soft
2. While those are baking, rinse the black beans and let them drain a bit
3. Cut up the tomato and banana pepper and mix together with the black beans. Put this mixture in the fridge to let the flavors marinate together
4. Once the sweet potatoes are done, add them to the bean, tomato, pepper mixture and put it back in the fridge
5. Preheat the oven to 400 and cut the squash in half, length wise. As I've mentioned before, this is easier said than done. Use a sharp knife and a mallet if you need to.
6. Scoop out all the seeds and stringy stuff from the center
7. Spritz the inside with butter and bake face-down on a foil-lined baking sheet for half an hour
8. Pull it out, score the inside with a knife, spritz with more butter and put back in the oven for 15 minutes, facing up
9. Pull back out, and let it cool for about 15-20 min.
10. Scrape the goodies off the sides of the shell and fill each side with the bean, potato mixture, sprinkle with more garlic seasoning and put back in the oven for 15 minutes
11. Pull out of the oven and let cool. It will be hot!
12. Cut up the avocado, and put it on top.
Because I'm going back to work, my workout schedule is going to be a bit screwed up. This week, it's all up in the air and I'm just going to workout as I can.
Yesterday, I also did a little crafting and made a maxi-skirt, so I got my dress-up on:
If you don't hear from me in the next couple days, it's because work is taking everything out of me. I'll post later.

Isn't that beautiful!

It's no joke
