I found this clipped magazine recipe in my mother's diary that she left behind but don't remember her ever making it. It didn't say what magazine it was from so I can't give credit to anyone but whenever I make this delicious recipe I say "Here's to you Ma".
Ingredients
2 medium acorn squash (about 1 1/4 pounds each)
12 ounces ground raw chicken
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1 5-ounce container light semi-soft cheese with garlic and herb
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup corn bread stuffing mix or 2 tbl fine dry breadcrumbs
1 tbl reduced-calorie margarine, melted
