Acorn Squash “Tostada” Bowls

Traditional tostada bowls are made with fried tortillas, so I wanted to find a healthy paleo-friendly alternative. I love food that has it own bowl. For some reason, it seems more personalized and fun to eat. The slow cooker makes the squash extremely easy to cut through, so I don’t have to worry about accidentally cutting myself. Which means there has been a lot more squash dinners in our home. I find that I am also more satisfied with my meal as well, and less likely to wander the kitchen looking for dessert that I don’t keep in our apartment. If you are new to the paleo lifestyle then squash is a great food to help you transition to less carbohydrates from grains.
