Quinoa Stuffed Squash

I saw this squash at the grocery store and just had to try it. It is such a pretty looking squash I figured it would look nice stuffed. The squash was not marked at the store so it took a Google search and researching to find out what it was. It is a Winter Acorn developed by Rupp seed company called Celebration. I decided to stuff it with quinoa and it worked out very nicely.
