Vegan Stuffed Acorn Squash

<p>A vegan favorite holiday centerpiece: Acorn Stuffed Squash. Most of the stuffed squash recipes I've seen come in two categories: savory meat stuffing or sweet fruit stuffing. Of course, as a centerpiece, I'd rather have savory since the centerpiece should be an entree.</p>
