My Meatless Mondays - Apricot Kabocha Squash

If you don't mind baking a squash and adding a little jelly, you have the easiest,creamiest sweet side dish that goes with almost anything.

 I have been in love with kabocha since I came across it. It has this natural sweetness and wonderful texture and like all squash is versatile in its use. When I bought this kabocha, I had planned to fuss with it, but at the last minute, I had little time to do something with it. I stuck it in the oven and figured if worse came to worse, I would mash it and serve it plain. Plain kabocha squash is delicious.

As it turns out, I made one change to this, I added two tablespoons of apricot jelly to the squash, mashed it and served it. How easy can you get? I baked it for an hour at 350 Degrees.

This is another of Winnie's fabulous challahs.  Ask her, how many times, I asked her to move next door so I could eat her delicious cakes and breads?   



Now, do tell what you are bringing to the table this week.  Thanks for making the change to Bizzy Bakes with me.

    This may win as easiest side dish ever! Thank you for sharing.

    One day I will have a meatless dish to share, Chaya. We've been so bad lately with meat consumption. Tends to happen this time of year.

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.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

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...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

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 ...
