Stuffing Instructions:
1) Place bread cubes on cookie sheet and dry them for 20 to 30
minutes in a 250 degree oven, uncovered.
2) Heat olive oil and butter in a large saute pan. Add onion and
carrots, and saute over medium heat for 3 minutes until lightly
caramelized. Add mushrooms, nuts, and poultry seasoning, continuing
to saute for 2 minutes. Add fresh herb, and transfer to a large
mixing bowl, then add dried bread cubes, and mix well with broth. Let
sit for 30 minutes until bread absorbs all the liquid and the
stuffing is fluffy. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Squash Instructions:
1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place squash halves cut-side-down on
a cookie sheet lined with foil, or use a nonstick pan. Add 1/2 cup
water and bake for 30 to 45 minutes, until nearly tender.
2) Combine ginger ale, orange juice, tamari, honey, lemon juice
and pepper. Mix well and set aside. Place squash cavity-side-up in a
roasting pan. Brush generously with the glaze. Fill the cavity of
each squash with the mushroom stuffing, using an ice cream scoop or
large spoon. Pack stuffing in the cavity, forming a uniform mound.
3) Pour 1/2 cup water in the pan and bake 30 minutes, until squash
is lightly browned and stuffing is thoroughly heated.
Enjoy!
