Unexpectedly awesome! To be honest, I was a bit skeptical about the broc & cheese flavored rice paired with apples...but it is really really good! And weirdly good :) I used sweet italian sausage because they didn't have turkey sausage at the grocery - and I would probably use it again. The strong flavors of the sweet italian sausage are nicely balanced by the apple/coriander and the broc and cheese rice just makes it awesome! I am SO glad I made this recipe and will definitely make it again! You are very good at this, LikeItLoveIt :)<br/><br/>ETA: I made this tonight in the oven. Put acorn squash and a butternut in a pyrex with water. Cooked for 45 minutes at 350/375, took out and filled with the mixture and cooked another 20 minutes (an extra 10 for the butternut). Yum
