Stuffed Winter Squash

We bought a case of winter squash from farmer's market for $5 before Thanksgiving, and we're still eating them. They're delicious just plain baked, and we had stuffed squash for Thanksgiving. I don't think the box will last through to the new year.

I know that stuffing is something handed down from generation to generation and carefully guarded as a Thanksgiving secret, but that's behind us now and there are all those lovely squashes needing something to keep them company.

Here's a roundup of stuffed squash recipes from the net, and I'd love any reviews you have of them or your favorites.

Amy Rosen, from Cook This: apple, celery, pecans, sage, bread crumbs, havarti cheese
adaped from The Vegetarian 5-Ingredient Gourmet: red onion, almonds, ginger
Food Reference fruit and nut stuffing: onion, celery, apples, bread crumbs or rice, nuts, seed, dried fruit
Vegan Stuffed Organic Squash from ChooseVeg: rice, onion, celery, pecans, apricots, cranberries
Chowhound asks What Can I Stuff Acorn Squash With? aged cheddar cheese, mashed potatoes, cheese top
Better Homes and Gardens Vegetarian: pears, green onions, ricotta, raisins, pine nuts, lemon zest, nutmeg

Wow, and there's 1000s more.

Some themes emerge: a starch (bread crumbs, panko, rice, mashed potatoes) plus a sweet (apples, apricots, cranberries, pears) plus a savory (pecans, almonds, pumpkin seeds, cheese) plus spices to taste. Sounds like time for some Google cooking.

As we experiment I'll add to these!
