Claireooto, just wanted to say glad you've finally got your power back. Our prayers have been with everyone affected by Hurricane Sandy. Glad you came through with your good humor and appetite intact!

Thank you, Marion! I know we're lucky compared to some, but it has been a stressful and unforgettable ten days! When the power came back on I made cookies, roasted vegetables, roasted potatoes...I wanted to warm my icy kitchen, and I'd just missed cooking so much!

Our stand-by used to be Deborah Madison's excellent roasted squash galette (and I do still love it!) but this year The Fella specifically requested my vegetarian rendition of a stuffed squash technique that I learned about right here on the Kitchn. The original is a non-vegetarian recipe), but it's the technique that matters: flip the squash so the stuffing gets crispy and caramelized against the hot pan. It has a rich flavor and the beautifully browns crust of the stuffing looks smashing on a holiday table.

I've also made a much leaner version than in my linked recipe --- broth instead of cream, significantly less cheese --- and it was still bold and richly flavored. I think a vegan stuffing, maybe with some nuts for extra flavor and richness, would still have that luxurious holiday feel.

(I feel a little funny linking to this recipe twice today, but it is SO GOOD that I'd hate for anyone to skip the technique just because the Kitchn's version has meat in it.)
