This was such a yummy and (fairly) easy dish to make! It does take a while, however.
How to:
Google "How to cook acorn squash" and pick a recipe that includes brown sugar.
Google "How to carmelize onions" and be sure to add a dash of balsamic vinegar at the end.
Voila!

Ch-ch-ch-Chia!
Have you heard the buzz around CHIA being the new superfood? I've finally decided to try it. It has tons of protein, fiber, omega 3s, etc.
You can put chia seeds in or on lots of other foods, like on a salad. One of the more common ways is to drink it, first letting the seeds soak in your beverage of choice for a few minutes until they soak up some liquid and start to get gelatinous. You can wait longer til they are very gelatinous.
So far I have put it in orange juice, and other than a bit of tiny crunch I didn't really notice them. I used a teaspoon or 2 of the seeds.
My latest experiment is the following: 1 cup soy milk, 1 scoop of protein shake powder, some chia seeds, some peanut butter and some chocolate syrup. Blend and stick in the freezer for 1-2 hours. Results to come!
I look forward to seeing health results and potentially weight loss, if I can stick with it and consume chia in drinks rather than eating less healthy snacks.
