This blog is a little homage to the wonderful produce we get to enjoy this season. I was only introduced to cooking with pumpkins and squash when I moved to the US - Friends and family in the UK I hope these treats have reached Sainsbury's since I left, but they are so very worth seeking out - perhaps try the market if not.
These dishes and treats are what this season is all about.
Pumpkin red lentil curry - Just had this tonight for dinner. A fall staple in our house. Always delicious.
Butternut squash white bean soup - We had this on Tuesday with our small group and it was a big hit. It packs a spicy punch and hits the spot on a cool fall evening, especially when served with warm crusty bread.
Chocolate chip pumpkin bread - this is a fab treat, and who doesn't have bananas lying around going bad every now and then, just crying out to be mashed and made into banana bread? This one will not be on the low fat list but it is totally dreamy. A slice is a perfect treat.
Butternut Squash Lasagna - ok, so this in on the menu for the weekend, so I can't vouch for it (yet) but it looks yummy, and I 'll let you know!
I am also curious to make this squash soup, doesn't it make your mouth water?!
Velvety Squash Soup
Ok, enough of the fall yummy-ness. I am making myself hungry. Perhaps another slice of the chocolate banana bread is in order?
You might also like spaghetti squash. You can find it at most grocery stores. Split in half and bake till tender, use a fork to separate the spaghetti "noodles" and serve with your favorite sauce, meatballs, and cheese. Delish! I know it sounds weird, but it's actually pretty decent.
