Salt and pepper does not count as an ingredient. Just facts of life people. Facts of life.
Biggest annoyance of the day: when I actually take the time to shave my legs and they are no where near as smooth as I’d like them to be.
Second biggest annoyance of the day: zits. Who do you guys think you are!?
OMG. I have contacted the three people who won the Cappello’s Giveaway {CLOSED} and still haven’t heard anything back!! What the. So check your email, even check your spam since I tend to use dirty language, and get to writing me back so you can get free stuff!! Aka Kristen, Beth, and Rebecca. Come on now.
So guess what I did?? After I told you all about my teenage meltdown on Monday stemming from my computer dying, I had a ton of responses telling me to set up a donate pay pal account. So if you ever felt like contributing to my site, you could. So that’s what I did. Well, someone actually helped me do it because I’m a 3 year old child when it comes to anything related to technology. But I now have a contribution button over off to the right. I feel kind of weird having one and I literally don’t expect anyone ever to donate money, but I thought I at least should tell you about it.
Now I feel weird and awkward. I wish you could see my awkward face right now.
Ever wonder if flies really do throw up every time they land? If that’s true, my should is covered in fly vomit. This bastard just won’t leave me alone.
Here is something I don’t totally get. Why is breakfast so hard for people. Because there really is a simple solution to it all. Eat what you ate for dinner. Don’t have any leftovers? That’s cool, make something like eggs and bacon. Can’t eat eggs? That’s fine, make this breakfast stuffed acorn squash but don’t top it with an egg. Free therapy session brought to you by JB. You’re welcome.
I hate when I plug my crockpot in, but forget to turn it on…until I wake up the next morning. Always a bummer throwing away meat. If I don’t have a date and I don’t have a huge slab of short ribs brewing in the crockpot, WHAT DO I HAVE WORTH LIVING FOR?!!? Oh that’s right, pumpkin bars. And the 86% dark chocolate bar I bought yesterday. I’m cool. We’re good. Emergency averted.
5 Ingredient Breakfast Stuffed Acorn Squash
- Yield: 2 1x
Ingredients
- 3/4lb breakfast sausage
- 1 acorn squash, cut in half, seeds removed
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place acorn squash cut-side down onto your baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until your acorn squash is soft when you press on the skin.

- While your acorn squash is cooking, add a tablespoon of some kind of fat to a large pan over medium heat (I used bacon fat) then add your minced garlic and diced onion.
- Stir around to keep from burning.
- Once your onions become translucent, add your breakfast sausage to the pan.
- Cook down, breaking up the breakfast sausage as it cooks.
- Once the breakfast sausage is almost all the way cooked through, turn your heat to low and add your inside of your acorn squash. Do this by using a spoon to scoop out the insides, leaving just the skin of the acorn squash. Be careful not the tear the skin!
- Mix the acorn squash and the breakfast sausage together then add it back to your acorn squash skin
- Once both of your acorn squash halves are full, press into the middle with a spoon to breakfast a little resting spot for your egg.
- Crack an egg on top.
- Place back in the oven to cook for 10-15 minutes or until egg-cooked preference.

If the 88 in your email address refers to your birth year.. I plan to slit my wrists.. Just so you know.
yeaaaaaaah….that is my birth year lol

I NEVER like breakfast recipes. My idea of a breakfast recipe is: 1. Crack three eggs 2. Whisk 3. Cook with butter 4. Top with salsa. The end. With that being said, this looks epic. *highfive*
Woot woot for the contribute button! I’m so glad you did it… don’t feel awkward. Get yo paper boo boo.
Hi, I am brand new to Paleo and a friend of mine told me about your site. Your recieps give me hope that I can make it through my first 30 days. Keep em coming and thanks for sharing.
genius! I Can’t wait to try this.
That’s such a great idea! Looks delish.
Ok I’m in love with squash and meat makes everything better (read that how you may), but HOW… HOW do you get over how nasty a baked egg is??? How do you do it Juli?? I made your little sweet potato egg nests once and whatever it is that happens to eggs when they’re baked… made me want to vomit. Endlessly.
Maybe you could just fry an egg and put it on top!
I made this tonite – and did the egg scrambled separate from the squash/sausage mixture.. Wholly smokes! This is filling! I was only able to eat 1/4 of the mixture with the egg… and yes, it’s is EPIC NOMS!
Oh man can I relate to the leg shaving!! It always happens in the winter when I get out of the shower or tub and into a cold room, goose bumps appear and WALLA, shave job UNDONE!!!
I just recently learned to love any kind of squash. Hated it for years an years my mom tried to make me like it. Now I’m all grown up and like it on my own. I can NOT wait to try this…probably for dinner or this weekend for breakfast! Thanks for the receipe!!!
