Paleo Breakfast Sausage and Onions Stuffed in Acorn Squash

 

This would be great for dinner or breakfast. Normally, I struggle with sweet cravings late at night, but after having this for dinner, I had no problems with late night snacking. I can eat a lot of food, and I found two halves were very filling. The breakfast sausage is locally sourced and handmade from Lindy and Grundy in West Hollywood. I’ve missed using sausage in my cooking, I couldn’t find a local source until recently, so I’m really excited to be eating it again. The sausage was a splurge, but it tasted amazing and it contains liver (I asked) so it makes it super nutritious!
