Re:Butter nut squash

[Guest guest]

I used to laboriously halve butternut and Danish squash to cook but now

I'm much lazier. I just wash the squash, take the ice pick and poke

some holes (maybe 8?), put it in a shallow pan like you'd

pardon-the-expression bake a cake in, and add half an inch or so of

water. Then I bake it at about 325 until tender, which means until

you can poke it with a skewer or knife and it goes in easily.

Let it cool a bit for easier handling. Then the peeling will come

off easily, I scrape out the seeds and fiberish stuff in the middle, and

it's ready to use. I like mine with butter or oil, honey maybe, and

some cinnamon.

Yes, you can cut them in half first, scrape out the seeds etc, and cook

with the butter and cinnamon, but to me it's a whole lot more work that

way.

I am liking pureeing it very much, new experiment this fall. I'm

getting over a stomach bug (or something) so back pretty much to Intro

for a few days, and yesterday I pureed some cooked squash, half a banana,

and a dollop of applesauce. Then I heated it up and it was really

delicious! I will try it another time with a bit of nut milk and

cinnamon.

I need step by step instuctions of how to fix this stuff.. I did not

know what squash looked like before I started SCD... I did purchase one

and tried to cut it into thin slices and bake it on my stone.. But they

were not cut even so they did not cook even.. There was no way to get

'Crisp " it was soft or burnt..LOL

I want to try baked with cinnioman. Do I just cut it in half? Do I

scoop out the seeds first? What temp? How long? put butter and cin on at

the begining or later.?. Does it need to be in water? I have not idea how

to fix this stuff but like the flavor I got when I cooked/burnt the first

one..

Also, Does anyone know about Pau D' Arco Extract?... I am told it is

a extract from the bark of a tree.. Instructions say to put 2 drops in

water and drink 3 times a day for Intestinal Health.
