Ahhh, October. I’ve waited for this month all year—the month where chilly air starts to creep in, Halloween decorations line every storefront, and the hunt for the perfect pumpkin begins! To go along with the autumn theme, our Recipe of the Week theme is squash! And don’t forget other delicious varieties, such as zucchini, pumpkin, and spaghetti squash.
Need more convincing? Squash is a great source of antioxidants, vitamin C, fiber, and more! Perfect for showing your friends and fam that veganism is healthy and delish, I bring you my Stuffed Acorn Squash!
Stuffed Acorn Squash
1 acorn squash (try these cuties!)
1 cup brown rice
1 can black beans, drained
2 cups chopped kale
Dash garlic powder
Dash salt
Dash pepper
Dash chili powder
2-3 Tbsp. tahini
2 chopped green onions, for garnish
Makes 2 servings
I swear, this might seem fancy, but believe me, it is SUPER simple, so don’t be intimidated! This is a great way to pack a lot of powerful, healthy veggies into one delish dish. Brown rice, kale, and black beans are all rich in protein and vitamins, and the taste is sure to wow folks. Another great thing about this dish—it’s CHEAP! All the ingredients should be available at your local grocery store for next to nothin’.

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
