Winter Squash

Roasted Kabocha squash, carrot, and sweet potato soup with habanero, ginger, and curry...topped with purple sweet potato tamarind pomegranate molasses yogurt and chives

Acorn squash is so delicious, we make it for #thanksgiving and then all winter long. This version is glazed with mustard and brown sugar straddling that lovely balance between sweet and spicy. These are so easy to make and can be done in advance and reheated.

And another shot because I couldn't resist

Yummy Stuffed Squash (think burrito, but not). Wishing we still had some leftover for dinner this eve. Assorted acorn squash, from my CSA, roasted and filled with lentils, black beans, brown basmati and wild rice, red pepper, sautéed shallot and maitake, vegan chèvre style cheese, pumpkin seeds, guajillo adobo from @fronterafoods (totally worth checking out- really, really, good), lots of fresh cilantro and flaky sea salt and pepper. I topped them with a vegan chipotle aioli (leftover from some @bychloe take-out the day before), avocado and micro greens. Most of these ingredients were leftovers or bits from the crisper I needed to use up. These were crazy delicious and nutritious and I'm definitely making them again! High in protein and fiber, these (or some similar version) will go on repeat. When you have unused grains, beans, pulses , and other odds and ends, the sky is the limit- don't be scared to take some risks and combine ingredients and flavors you normally may not. If you like each component individually, there is a good chance they will be great combined. I had always planned to stuff the squash, but was originally thinking of doing a traditional thing with dried cherries and almonds. When I look at my available ingredients, I kept thinking Mexican and went with it. Taste as you go to adjust seasoning so you don't overdo it and HAVE FUN in the kitchen!

Move over onion rings, it's the season for delicata squash rings!! The batter is so light and crunchy and shatters when you bite into it. Get the recipe on YUM!

Is anyone else OBSESSED with all the squash?! know I am And for obvious reasons I decided it was best to drizzle some cashew butter on said squash... Duh.

Squashing those extra dishes with these yummy acorn squash bowls! Roasted acorn squash filled with lettuce, shredded chicken, pomegranate seeds, and topped with balsamic vinaigrette! Total lazy girl Fall salad!

No boring olive oil for these squash wedges. A chili-spiked vinegar & honey glaze and these roasted veggies are spicy & sweet.
