Cooking question

Postby Ilovebigcats » March 11th, 2008, 9:32 am

Anybody ever cook a butternut squash? What do I do with it? LOL!

We started our new way of eating last Wednesday. We have ALL lost weight. :shock: I got a list from Dr Oz on what are good foods and we have been shopping and eating from that. It is pretty much the basic food groups. Chicken, fish, fruits, and veggies. Anyway... I bought a butternut squash.. first I had to google what it was... I had seen them but never bought one. Now I don't even know what to do with it. Regular squash I just slice and boil or steam or batter and fry. :?

Any good recipes?

simplest way...

cut in half and scoop out seeds, no need to peel

bake at 350 until soft

can either eat right out of the peel or can scoop out the inside and either cube or mash it

add butter, salt, and pepper OR butter and brown sugar to taste
For the truth that lies at the heart of theology is not something there to be discovered, but something, or rather someone, to whom we must surrender. The mystery of faith is not ultimately something that invites our questioning, but something that questions us.

Forestwalker is correct about the butter and salt and pepper. If you are trying to eat healthier you can use a little bit of Smart Balance buttery spread, there is no trans fat, no cholesterol, no palm kernal oil, no gelatin, starch, it is non-dairy and lactose free. Also, it has 500 mg Omega-3 and it doesn't taste too bad. You can use this in place of the butter or margarine, also if you want to skip the butter completely you can try a sprinkle of seasoned salt, any flavor you like, it doesn't take much because this squash has such a mild flavor. Enjoy.

By the way, I saw my doctor today and got the news that I am borderline diabetic and we are going to try to bring the blood sugar under control with diet and exercise (I apologize for using those bad words). One of my co-workers who is only 38 years old, a mother of 4 and caring for her grandmother and mother, had a heart attack on Friday. She is a diabetic and heart disease is one of the complications of diabetes. I plan on seeing my great granddaughter get married so I have to eat healthier and exercise (bad words again). :roll:
