I love the stuffed pumpkin recipe. A couple of times I modified it by splitting a butternut squash in half, spreading the rice mixture on the bottom of a glass dish and placing the squash skin side up on top of the rice and baking it for about 1 hour. I also have been adding cinnamon to the rice mix. YUM!
