Quinoa is an ancient grain that you may not have experimented with just yet, but it is easy to cook, versatile, and wonderfully nutty. Ounce for ounce, it packs a bigger protein punch than most other whole grains. This quinoa stuffed acorn squash can be both a hearty main dish or a perfect side dish to accompany a larger spread. If blood oranges aren’t available in your area, use tangerines.
