Vegan Cornbread Stuffing In Smoked Acorn Squash

Do you call it dressing or stuffing? I just call it yummy. This vegan cornbread stuffing is easy to make and perfect for holiday meals. What are some of your must have dishes at holiday celebrations? I like to mix it up and try different recipes. I won’t stray too far from traditional dishes for holiday meals but it’s fun to try new ideas and see what everyone enjoys. One thing is for sure I always make way too much food but leftovers the next day are half the fun right?

I also love using all of my different serving dishes at holiday time too. Sure sometimes we keep it super casual and just serve straight out of the casserole baking dish.  There is nothing wrong with that but if you have pretty serving ware this is the perfect excuse to get it out and use it. Our vegan cornbread stuffing can also be served in unexpected ways to create a fun centerpiece like in these smoked acorn squashes.

These smoked acorn squash make an amazing show stopping centerpiece for your holiday table. We love to fire up the smoker in the fall when the weather is cooler. Smokers and grills aren’t just for meat eaters. We love to smoke all kinds of veggies. When we smoked these acorn squash we cut them in half and seasoned with salt and pepper. Then we smoked them for about four hours. It is important to remember to balance out the smokey flavor and serve with delicious foods like this vegan cornbread stuffing that haven’t been smoked. Otherwise the smoke flavor can be too overpowering. Vegan cornbread stuffing served in smoked acorn squashes
