1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup sour cream
1 medium ripe avocados, pitted and cut into 8 slices
1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds
Directions:
Cut each squash in half lengthwise, remove seeds and cut a thin slice off the bottom so they will”sit” nicely when served.
Spread butter over entire cavity of each half and place cut side down on a cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
While the squash is baking, combine all the remaining ingredients except the avacado and almonds.
Mix well.
When squash is finished, remove from oven, turn upright and fill with equal amounts of filling.
Top each half with 2 slices of avacado and sprinkle with almonds.
Return to oven and bake for 25 minutes.
