How to Make Fantastic Fries from an Acorn Squash

How to Make Fantastic Fries from an Acorn Squash

Making fries or chips from vegetables other than potatoes seems to be somewhat of a trend, and I thought I would jump right on that bandwagon and make acorn squash fries. When I cook with squash, I usually choose butternut squash because I find it sweet and when it roasts it seems to get tastier and sweeter! I have used it in salads and pasta like sausage and butternut squash sauce pasta.  Cooking with acorn squash isn’t foreign to me, but doing anything…

Mashed Parsnips with Brown Sugar and Nutmeg

Mashed parsnips aren’t the prettiest of dishes… I mean that in the nicest way I can, but really it’s a white vegetable in which in this recipe I am adding brown ingredients to… So in the end I am left with a white-ish-brown-ish bowl of mashed stuff… but they sure make a great tasting side dish for a roast beef dinner! Despite their unattractiveness, I love parsnips and I buy them all year round. They are a root vegetable that have a…

So there I was, once again, staring at the vegetable drawer in my fridge, looking for those that were nearing the end of their lives, when I spotted a bag full of baby bok choy.

Off to the internet I went to see if there were any…

Brussels Sprouts and Carrots – Oven Roasted

A bag of each – Brussels Sprouts and carrots – sitting in the vegetable drawer of my fridge, waiting to be together. Or at least that I was what I was thinking! I wasn’t sure if the two would be good together, but I needed to use them both up, (story of my life) so into a pot together they went! It’s the New Year and that means it is time for eating healthy and getting back on track for me….

How do you shorten a title like basil goat cheese stuffed cherry tomatoes and still provide a small detail of what the post will be about? You can’t. Well I couldn’t. Every part of that title deserves to be there and if you try making these sweet little gems, you will know what I mean. The basil pops through the rich creamy goat cheese and the cherry tomatoes aren’t just a carrying pod for the creamy delight; they also add…
