Greek Yogurt Stuffed Acorn Squash

I love love love stuffed acorn squash. The little ones are so cute when they're cut in half and stuffed it makes them even more fun to eat. Roasting them the night before and putting them in the fridge really saves time in the morning. Plus the squash is really good cold surprisingly. Pairing greek yogurt with the acorn squash makes it a good balance of protein and carbs for a filling but refreshing breakfast. Persimmons are an excellent source of fiber, antioxidants vitamin A, and vitamin C, which adds an extra boost of nutrients to start your day.

The persimmon is completely optional, but I personally think the taste pairs sooo good with the acorn squash. And if you've never had a persimmon, do it.
