Shopping the other day I spotted these huge bulb scallions or green onions and envisioned a stuffing. So I snatched 2 game hens and other ingredients and this dinner was created.
Ingredients

- 1 large celery heart (about 8 stalks) chopped medium fine shopping list
- 1 bunch green onions chopped with about 4 inches of green part shopping list

- 2 cloves garlic smashed shopping list
- oil shopping list

- ground chili pepper shopping list
- parsley shopping list
- sage shopping list
- rosemary shopping list
- and thyme (can you hear the music?) shopping list

- 4 pats of butter shopping list
- 1 large acorn squash washed and sliced like orange slices (smiles) shopping list
- sage shopping list
How to make it
- DIRECTIONS:
- preheat oven to 325F
- 2 cookie sheets or large pie pans lined with no-stick aluminum foil
- Place squash in a bowl and coat with flavored olive oil
- Dredge in bread crumbs and place on baking sheet
- Cut the backbone from neck to tail out of the hens and press flat
- Sprinkle on all desired seasonings inside and out
- lift skin from each breast and place one pat butter under each
- Set aside
- In a hot skillet place oil and butter and garlic cloves
