  2. OMG! I'm loving this and WILL be making this TONIGHT! Just last week I bought Winn Dixie out of their acorn, butternut, and spaghetti squash due to their .99 a lb sale (still going on, I think). We love squash all different types of ways (I've got an awesome Roasted Butternut Parmesan Spaghetti on the blog) and love quinoa! Thanks for sharing! DELISH!
