I made this recipe last night as a prep for all the members in my teams 5 day free clean eating group and it was amazing!!! 

INGREDIENTS:
2 (1-lb each) acorn squash, halved crosswise and seeded
3 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
8-oz package sliced button mushrooms
1 medium yellow onion, diced small
1 tsp diced garlic
¾ tsp. dried thyme
1 cup quinoa
1 cup vegetable
1 cup water
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese


INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 450º. Drizzle 1 Tbsp. olive oil over insides of squash and season with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on rimmed baking sheet and cover pan tightly with foil. Roast until tender, about 35 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium-sized skillet, heat the remaining 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Add mushrooms, onion and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden and the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes.

Add quinoa water, and broth and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
Remove squash from oven and turn each squash over on the baking sheet. Carefully scoop out 2 to 3 tablespoons flesh from each squash half and stir into rice. Season with salt and pepper. Divide rice mixture and place inside squash halves. Sprinkle with Parmesan and place back in oven until cheese is melted.

I have the biggest sweet tooth! I try to keep it gluten free but bring on the DARK chocolate ✔️✔️  2 corn tortillas  1 tablespoons dark chocolate chips  1/2 banana sliced  1 tsp of coconut sugar  1 tsp butter (spray butter)  Two pumps of spray butter on pan Place corn tortillas on pan and sprinkle half of the coconut sugar with sho plate chips on one side of tortilla  Place sliced bananas on top and add remaining ingredients and place other tortilla on top.  Take a spatula and press firmly on quesadilla, flip and repeat!  Slice and enjoy!  For those doing the 21 day fix:  1 yellow  1 purple  2 tablespoons  The sugar is technically a "cheat" but let's get real ;)

I was left exhausted, depleted and desperate.   But, 4 years ago, I learned how to turn food into fuel so I could FEEL better and live my best life.
