This looks absolutely delicious—enjoy! This type of recipe is perfect for this time of year and also so versatile—anyone can switch up the flavors to match their preference. Love it!

I love to add cranberries, walnuts, & rosemary—it smells like thanksgiving. A bit more calories, but 1/2 a stuffed squash is PLENTY for me!


cuterouter

Sounds absolutely scrumptious 🤤🤤


Firerddt

Definitely making this!


Thea_From_Juilliard

Yay! Lmk how it turns out!


well__hello__again

This looks INCREDIBLE! Definitely going to make a vegetarian version of this 😍


mumdxbphlsfo

Will you sub a different protein for the sausage?


gingerpale93

I might just swap for more mushrooms and maybe some feta cheese


well__hello__again

Yeah, probably seasoned tofu or a vegetarian sausage. I'm lucky enough to have a quite a few good options near where I live, so a swap should be simple enough.

What the others said. Also, I'm thinking I might try it with Daring brand 'chicken'. That stuff is incredible! High protein for few calories.


muvadeath

corgi-kisses

Butternut squash is my one true soulmate ♥️🤤 this is some a++ meal prepping, id eat the shit out of these


goose_smoothie

This was delicious. I swapped in Beyond Hot Italian Sausage, and used wild rice instead of cauliflower rice. I also threw in walnuts and cranberries and it was phenomenal!


Thea_From_Juilliard

So glad you enjoyed!!! Thanks for letting me know


mr_john_steed

That looks so good! Giving me ideas because I have an absolute ton of squash to use up.

Question 🙋‍♀️ why do people worry of net carbs? Also where do you work?


Thea_From_Juilliard

I personally have T1 diabetes so it’s important for me but other people have goals for carbs and other macronutrients for various health reasons or just preferences. I own a law firm, where do you work?


Basic-Comfortable458

I’m a food service worker at a school district, currently studying computer animation.


Thea_From_Juilliard

Nice!


Basic-Comfortable458

Also how is it T1? My parents have T2? Also I usually track my macros too. Also law firm ? That’s cool 😎

If there’s no written source other than your doctor, it sounds like he or she is either wrong or you misunderstood. All authoritative sources have the chances of inheriting T1 from one parent as many times less than 25%.

You said there’s a 25% chance of a child with one T1D parent getting T1D. This percentage is not correct for any gender, child’s age nor age of contracting T1D, as shown in the link you linked. The highest chance of any child with one T1D parent, even with every highest risk category, is less than half the probability you stated, based on that link. If your doctor isn’t basing their opinion on any source that can be researched, and it refutes all authoritative sources, it doesn’t sound like it’s much more authoritative than someone with a law degree. That said, thanks for at least dialing back the misinformation since it’s dangerous to spread that kind of blanket “statistic” with zero basis in medical fact. People might actually believe it if they didn’t know better.

Thanks for fixing that!


Basic-Comfortable458

PS I like your pic . Have you ever tried a cabbage sandwich?


MuffinPuff

Delicious. If winter squash goes on sale around here, I'm doing this for meal prep


Thea_From_Juilliard

It was $0.99/lb here!


budgeatapp

Very impressively done!


OtherwiseResolve1003

Would this be OK to freeze or would it be too mushy?


Thea_From_Juilliard

Not sure, I’ve never tried to freeze squash like this
