    Yup, I'm for sure going to roast up a crap load of pumpkin, butternut squash, and sweet potatoes tonight and then drizzle all that in butter. Best. diet. ever.

    I've only ever had them roasted. But I've heard of people making "mashed parsnips" similar to "mashed cauliflower"... never tried that though.

    I just peel them... chunk up into bite size chunks... toss in favorite oil (I use EVOO because I don't like the coconut flavor here)... salt/pepper/garlic/whatever other spices you enjoy.... roast at 425 for roughly 30 min stirring every 10 min or so until lightly browned and somewhat soft (but not mush).

    I will vouch for this. Better than roasted potatoes! Try rutabega too.

    Spaghetti squash with homemade meat sauce. It's super easy and feeds us for days :) Oh and its delicious!

    I tried this Sunday for first time when I made regular spaghetti for family - I actually quite liked the spaghetti squash!

    I made a sausage quiche twice now that I love - brown one pound of breakfast sausage (I buy it from local farm without nasty crap added - they make it from ham so it is actually not greasy)

    Put sausage in bottom of 9" greased pie plate. Top with assorted vegetables (I usually use peppers, onions, broccoli and mushrooms). Whisk together 6 eggs with 1 tsp dry mustard and pour over top of veggies and meat. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes.

    I usually make this in evening while cooking dinner and then reheat it in the morning. This is a great breakfast for a busy morning or before a tough workout.

    I pretty much love food. Period.

    I've been partial to "taco salad" -- ground beef seasoned with cumin, chipotle, and garlic, on top of mixed greens. I top it off with guacamole and salsa and add some plantain chips. Mmmmm...

    But I'm looking forward to tonight's dinner too: seared skirt steak with oven roasted brussels sprouts and sweet potato fries.

    I love how much love there is for brussel sprouts here! I am very into brussel sprouts - sometimes cooked in (nitrate-free uncured) bacon fat (and sometimes crumbling up the bacon on top for good measure), sometimes cooked in unrefined coconut oil, and sometimes roasted in the roasting pan with a big chicken or turkey. I *love* me some brussel sprouts! :)

    Yes!

    When I was a kid my parents used to steam them and I would eat them and they were okay (I was always a kid who more or less happily ate whatever was put in front of me--even green veggies :happy: )

    BUT THEN! My friend introduced me to the notion of roasting them and... Hello! I was hooked. I craved them so bad last winter that I started worrying that I had some kind of deficiency and that was my body's way of trying to tell me. I once ate a giant bowl of the for dinner (and nothing else). Got heartburn, but it was delicious.

    And yeah, cooked in bacon fat is divine.

    Everyone needs to know about ACORN SQUASH. They are in season right now, and unlike butternut or spaghetti squash, you can bake them in the oven with a drizzle of oil and spices, and EAT THE SKIN! It's soooooo delish. Try it please. The texture is amazing.

    Our neighbor's farmer market closed this weekend, and I got a bunch of acorn (green and white), butternut, and buttercups on clearance for $1 each!

    I discovered roasting with broccoli... one of the veggies that I've always hated.... it's the ONLY way I will eat it now. And have become a bit obsessed with roasting veggies for the last year or so, seems to be one of my favorite ways to cook them... and you can cook a large amount of whatever and have leftovers for several days!

    Has anyone tried cabbage steamed/roasted with bacon + onion + garlic?? Again, never liked cabbage... but I like this!

    Bacon, eggs fried in butter and an avocado is my favorite! Actually, any meal that has bacon :bigsmile:
