A Very Quiet Country Kitchen
To anyone happening by here... I justed wanted to write a little note explaining my prolonged absence from the kitchen. In real life, I do spend time in the kitchen. I still bake most of the bread my family eats and still do most of the cooking, but being in school full time allows me less free time (for blogging) than in past years. I don't want to remove this blog because I hope to return to it when life and time allow. I actually have a photo of some homemade soup that I hope to write about soon...
In the meantime, please feel free to look through the old recipes.

Bulgar Stuffed Acorn Squash
Ingredients:
6 to 8 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 15 oz. can stewed or diced (Italian) tomatoes
15 or 20 black or favorite type of olives - sliced
1 15 oz. can quartered artichoke hearts
1/2 to 1 cup white wine (such as Pinot Grigio)
black pepper and sea salt to taste
1 cup vegetable broth
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 cup bulgar (cracked wheat) presoaked and drained
3 acorn squash, cut in half (scoop seeds and clean middle)
Directions:
Saute garlic in 2 tbsp olive oil over low heat. Add artichoke hearts, and cook until they get a little bit of color. Add 1/2 cup wine (reserve remaining wine to add only if more liquid is needed.) Cook until wine is slightly reduced, concentrating the flavor. Add canned tomatoes and juice, sliced olives and 1 cup of vegetable broth. Add the presoaked (& drained) bulgar. Add black pepper and sea salt to taste and simmer while liquid reduces slightly.
Prepare acorn squash, by cutting in half and scooping out seeds and pulp. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pile the bulgar filling in the acorn squash halves and bake until flesh is tender (approximately 1 hour.)
Notes: This filling would be good in other "stuffable vegetables" such as butternut squash, peppers, tomatoes or zuchinni. We roasted our squash seeds in the oven, lightly seasoned like we do our pumpkin seeds.
