Baked Cardamon Squash Slices QED Delicious!



Fridays, usually mean, I am raring to go and cook up a storm.  This morning, I overslept and didn't feel any desire to hit the kitchen.  The reality is, I have no choice,  since it is right before the Sabbath and I have to cook, all that we eat Friday evening and Saturday.  Since, we are concerned about no gluten, in the dishes, it is not as easy, as going to the store and bringing dinner home.  


I had used half of a butternut squash for another dish and I was in a hurry.  I came up with, what I consider, a good solution.  It too me a few minutes to prepare and pop into the oven.  It is good food although with the sugar, I can't say it is healthy.


Here's the recipe and judge for yourself.

Baked Cardamom Squash Slices  (This is delicious )


Ingredients:


1/2 of a butternut squash
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 cup sugar (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
spray olive oil


Method:


Preheat oven 375 degrees.
Microwave squash for 4 minutes on high.
Peel squash, removing the seeds.
Slice and cut slices in halves.
Place slices on parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture plus cardamom  on top of pieces of squash.
Spray oil on pieces and bake for 30 minutes.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
