Mame all alone!

So Nancy Drew is now far far away, investigating cases in a whole other world. She may have some time on her hands, so maybe she will write more, and then all of us will write more! And our other compadrix is also far away on a long well-deserved vacation. So the girl time is really lacking around here. I miss my sassy girlfriends!!

I made up a new recipe the other day, that I wanted to share bc it was delicious! If I do say so myself.

halve 2 acorn squash, sprinkle with chile power and cinnamon and put a small pat of butter in the hollow portion of each. Bake at 350 for about 30 min-1hr till it gets soft.

meanwhile, make some Spanish rice. Saute 1 cup rice w/ some oil til brown, add 1/2 chopped onion, chopped fresno chili, some cumin and salt. Saute that for another minute or two. Add in 2 Cups of chicken or veggie broth or water and 1/2 Cish of tomato sauce and 1/2 C of cilantro. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

In another pan, saute garlic, onion, chopped hot peppers. Add 1 can corn, 1 can black beans, 1 chopped red or green bell pepper. Take the acorn squash out of the oven, peel and cube it and add it to the pan. Stir in cumin, salt, pepper, chile powder, and 1/2 C cilantro. Saute it for a few minutes.

Serve squash mixture with the rice mixture. YUM!
