Mexican Stuffed Delicata SquashI’m so happy it’s almost the weekend. It’s been a rough week. Getting back in the groove of things after a holiday is always difficult, but I’ve been crazy busy, and 2 days ago I skidded in my car in the rain and almost got into an accident. I’ve been in a funk ever since and I can’t shake off the scary feeling of experiencing almost running my car into a telephone pole.

Someone told me before moving to NorCal, that it doesn’t rain much here. They lied so hard. It’s been raining off and on for 7 days straight, and it supposed to for the next week. Now that I’m terrified of driving in the rain, I think I’ll just hole up in my apartment for the weekend, watch Christmas movies, and go online shopping for myself my Christmas list.

Speaking of which, we are planning on getting our Christmas tree and decorating the apartment. Yay! Christmas lights always make me happy. Oh! And if you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw that I just received my first cow share ever from Morris Grassfed and I’m so excited to cook and eat some great meals. Like this stuffed squash I made. So.. things are looking up for me (hopefully).

Mexican Stuffed Delicata Squash
Are you sick of squash yet this season? I’m not, clearly. They are my favorite. So is Mexican food. I always say if I can only have 1 type of cuisine for the rest of my life, it would be Mexican. So basically, I loved this dish a lot.

Mexican Stuffed Delicata SquashI love that you can add whatever you want to this. It’s basically like potato skins, so load up with sour cream, cheese, salsa, hot sauce, or whatever’s your jam. Have a great weekend, all!
