This great breakfast recipe appeared in the magazine months ago (and I've enjoyed making it regularly since then). To get the most protein and least fat, use fat free or low fat greek yogurt.

Plus it's a one portion deal, which is great since no one else around here will eat it. BTW, I tried stuffing an acorn squash with canned pumpkin, some spices and almonds. It was just okay.
