Big news and acorn squash!

Okay I have some "big" news here.... I went to a dietician today and got a meal plan and recommendations on what to eat. Apparently I need to gain 17 pounds... yeah, sorry but that's not gonna happen. In my opinion I am perfectly healthy in my weight but others beg to differ. Aside from that,  I am on a diet which consists of foods that are high in protein, lots of carbs, veggies and meat.  I have to eat a heck of a lot of food each day in order to fill out a certain log... It is quite overwhelming... Also, for the next 2 weeks I will be totally off of dairy products. Because my dietician  seems to think that maybe  one of the causes of my tummy troubles has something to do with dairy.. Which, now that my family and I have thought about it, could be VERY true. The bright side is, if the cause of some of this is the dairy and not the sugar, I can eat fruit again!! :) However, I would still stay off of sugar. So then this blog would be a gluten, sugar, and dairy free blog... Scary, huh? For anyone wondering, I am for sure gluten intolerant.  

Moving on to the fun part of this post... FOOD. New thing today... ACORN SQUASH. All you will need for this recipe is an acorn squash and cinnamon. :)

DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350. Cut the squash in half (I was told this part was very hard to do so be warned)and sprinkle with as much cinnamon as you wish. Fill a pan halfway with water, cover the squash in tinfoil and place into the pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes until the inside is soft.

On mine, I also added raw coconut flakes. I have to say this was very filling and rather tasty!

Enjoy! :)
