Need Something Different

Squash is great for me and I'm diabetic--also pumpkin. I make a crustless pumpkin that is good. Just like the real thing--without the crust, of course.

My favorite squash dish is to put some squash and sweet onions, cut up, in a ziploc bag with a little olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and pepper. Shake well. Bake at 425 degrees until tender. YUM!

That sounds yum Shore and simple...simple is time saving...I like that!

ok, please don't laugh at my question......:blushing: I'm gonna assume we remove the squash etc. from the the plastic bag and then place it in a pan?? Or is this a cooking bag you're referring too? Ohhhhhhh I LOVE LOVE LOVE cooking bags...ahhh wondering if now that I think about it...that's what you meant!:blushing: :laugh: :drinker:

Oh, sorry! No, I wasn't talking about cooking bags--never tried those. After shaking, I dump it all into a roasting pan lined with aluminum foil--no clean-up that way!

oh ok:happy: Sure glad I asked then!:laugh: Try the cooking bags sometime I think you'd find them really handy...and talk about no cleanup! I often do a roast with veggies in the cooking bags...they keep everything so moist and tender....and again..such an easy cleanup!

Thanks again for clarifying:flowerforyou:

we're doing sweet potatoes!

They can be problematic for diabetics--better than regular potatoes because they're so fiberous but some diabetics can't touch them without a huge spike. I can eat a bit--maybe 1/4 a sweet potato but that's it.

yeah I forgot about the whole diabetic part I was just thinking about the healthy. Sorry!:drinker:

Roasted veggies, quick, easy, super yummy!

Take any veggies you have, the more variety the better, sweet potatoes, carrots, peppers, onion, garlic, even corn on the cob, cobs cut into 1/3's. Cut everything up, toss with 2-3 T. water and some seasoning of choice, just garlic salt is great, or some rosemary and herbs, spray a pan w/ pam, add veggies, spray tops w/ pam and roast at 425-450, 30 minutes if you're using root vegetables in the mix, 20 min. otherwise. Stir every 10 minutes.

I am looking for something to make for Thanksgiving that is different from the normal green beans or corn. Does anyone have a vegetable recipe to share? Also, would like it to be somewhat healthy...I'm doing great with the calorie counting and my mother in law just found out she is diabetic. Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner can be such a great time and a depressing time in all the same. Want to help where I can. Thanks, in advance!!

Spinach Quiche
You can make it w/reduced fat/calorie margarine and low/fat or non fat cheese. If you would like the recipe just let me know.

Not everyone likes 'em, but I looove brussels sprouts. I steam them, then toss them in a bit of butter (a very small bit), maple syrup or lemon juice and top with siced almonds when they're cooked.
