sweet goodness

Happy Thursday!

I have been cooking up a storm lately and wanted to share last nights easy dinner.

sorry....no pics....it was so good I had to share anyway!

Baked Butternut Squash

This may be the easiest thing to make and it is a beautiful veggie to have on the counter.

ingredients:

1 butternut squash ( any kind will do)
 coconut oil
garlic powder

Pre heat oven to 400

First, cut the squash in half length wise.
Clean all of the seeds from both sides.
Place on baking sheet cut side up.
Drizzle coconut oil thinly across the squash. You don't need much at all.
Sprinkle with garlic powder.

You can always add salt and pepper if you would like.

Bake until the squash is fork tender.





You will have a beautiful healthy vegetable with the sweet smell and taste of coconut.
DIVINE!

Next I made a salad and used whatever veggies I had in the fridge.
Arugula, avocado, quinoa, pumpkin seeds, broccilli & carrot slaw, tomatoes, and nutritional yeast.

And for the dressing..........
Thank you Megan Telpner!

Sweet Tahini Dressing

2 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp grade B maple syrup
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 small lemon juiced
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt & pepper to taste

* I added a little extra lemon to cut the sweetness,
next time I'll use less maple syrup

We ended up putting this on the squash as well.
Josh LOVED it!!

Wishing you a fantastic day!

with gratitude
