Acorn Squash and Apple Recipe #eattolose #vegan #deliciousveganrecipe #kosherforpassover #glutenfree #nutfree #oilfree

Baked Acorn Squash and Apple
Its always nice to be re-assured with the Nutritional Facts before you eat something new. This only has 4 ingredients:
1 Acorn Squash
1 Apple (I like Fuji)
Maple Syrup

Cut the squash in half. Scoop out the seeds and strings.  The seeds are just like pumpkin so I roast and eat them too.
Pre-heat the oven to 425. 
Put the squash face down in a pan with 1/4 inch of water.
Bake it for 40 minutes. Take it out of the water. Drizzle on some Maple Syrup or Agave Nectar. Sprinkle it with Pumpkin Spice or just plain Cinnamon.  Slice up an apple and add it to the center. Bake it for another 30 minutes face up.  Enjoy!

I cheated a little so it could be transported easily to the office.  
I left out the apple until I got to the office, sliced it up once I was ready to eat, then microwaved it on high for 4 minutes covered with a paper towel.

The picture is of my lunch today. No oil, no salt, no nuts, no refined sugar and no gluten. I ate at noon. Its now 3:30 PM and I'm still not hungry. You want to lose weight?  EAT!!! Just do it right.
