Vegetables, garbanzos, raisins and couscous in a lovely Moroccan broth taste delicious inside butter and brown sugar-brushed acorn squash. You can experiment with different vegetables, or add diced chicken. Feel free to be creative with your amounts - I usually freestyle and end up with leftover stuffing mixture, which tastes great on its own the next day. For vegetarians, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.

While the brown rice is bubbling on the stove, onions, carrots, garlic, chickpeas, and mushrooms are sauteed in butter until cooked and the flavors are mingled. Eggs are swirled into the pan, the rice is added, and then a nice smattering of parsley and cashews.

Cumin and curry powder give this chilled three-bean salad terrific zip. 'I get a lot of compliments on it,' says Howie Wiener, Spring Hill, Florida. Not only does it come together quickly, but at 70 cents a serving, it's economical, too.

Beets were my sworn enemy until I tried them like this, it's a great way to use root vegetables. I think the beets add a beautiful red color to the dish, but if it bothers you to serve pinkish vegetables, substitute parsnips, rutabaga, or any similar vegetable; be creative!
