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

- 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.

I just finished making this for the second time in the past 5 days… It is amazing. I love your blog and your recipes. Thanks to your recipes I can get my boyfriend to eat Paleo as well (most of the time).
I’ve loved every recipe of yours I’ve tried. Wish I could help a little more! Making this one now :).
Oh he’ll, that was not supposed to be 1 star…
This was amazing! I am totlayy digging your recipes and vow to move to Denver some day so we can wod together. 🙂
Just made this. Used spicy chicken sausage. It was great! I used scrambled eggs on the side. But the way you did it is better. Now I need to make something sweet from your desserts because hurricane Sandy is stressing me out.
Have been staring at the pictures of this recipe for weeks and finally had to try it. Made it for dinner with ground turkey instead of sausage. It was DELICIOUS and savory-wish there were leftovers.
Really yummy! I didnt have sausage in the house so I used half a slice of ham steak instead and I also added half a pear which was delish!!
Fixing this so that it’s right – Juli, feel free to delete my last comment.
I made this the other night, but with already cooked breakfast sausage. Acorn squash is my new favorite food. I’m not even joking, this was amazing. I’m making it again tonight or tomorrow night, this time with raw grounds so it crumbles the way its supposed to. This recipe is a win, all the way around. Just like every other recipe of yours I’ve ever made. You rock.
And please keep posting the contribute button. It will remind me to give a little here and there, which is how I can best do it. Can’t wait for your cookbook.
This recipe sounds like a great idea for a Sunday morning meal; it looks really delicious with the egg on top. Thanks for sharing.
Holy cow, this recipe is amazing. Super easy and so delicious. I Crossfit but don’t do Paleo (I’m a sucker for any and all baked goods), but I seriously think anyone would love this. I did fry the egg instead of baking it, but that’s because 2 minutes in a pan instead of 15 minutes in the oven meant I could be eating it faster.
Eating this right now for lunch. Um YUM!! I think I’m addicted to this blog more than FB! Ridiculous.
