Wild Rice Stuffed Honeynut Squash

Posted in Gluten Free, Organic, Recipes, Spice Spice Baby, Spices, Vegetarian by

We’re adding to our list of creative and yummy ways to use squash this season! Here we had fun with a new type of squash, honeynut squash. Think butternut squash, but smaller. We decided to combine two loved side ingredients, rice and squash, into one festive and flavorful holiday side.

For this recipe, we used both our Healthy On You® Spice Spice Baby and The Fennel Countdown Spice Blends, to create a dish bursting with fall flavors. The best part about this recipe is that the honeynut squash is so small they roast in no time. Perfect for keeping your holiday stress free! Enjoy!
