Butternut Squash Faux Fries

September 11, 2013 Amanda Plott

These baked Butternut Squash Faux Fries are an amazing alternative to their potato brethren. They taste just as amazing as sweet potato fries, and are remarkably similar, but come in way less on their calorie count!

Not to say anything bad about zucchini, but the health benefits of winter squash far exceeds that of their summer time family. The butternut squash is high in fiber and low in fat, making it a very heart-healthy choice.

This fruit is full of potassium, B6, folate, and last but not least carotenoids! A 1-cup serving will give you nearly half the recommended daily dose of antioxidant-rich vitamin C. And what's more? It's an anti-inflamitory as well...

I know what you're thinking, mostly because when I first heard of this flavor combination a few years ago... I was a little skeptical as well. But, I promise this sauce is absolutely amazing and perfect for fall!...

Simple & Clean Summer Spaghetti

This is a super simple summer dish that's light, full of flavor, and comes together in all of 15 minutes! There is barely any cooking required. I promise!

Don't be scared. I realize that the tomatoes in this are not cooked. I think that's what keeps this dish so fresh and perfect for summer! Of course, the lemon and fresh basil don't hurt...

Seriously. The pictures don't do these justice!

I was wanting to make enchiladas this week that were vegetarian but had more to them than mere 'cheese'.

Crock Pot Spaghetti Squash Thai 'Noodle' Bowl

I am avoiding my oven like the plague right now, as I do every year about this time. Summer hits us hard in Texas and I'll do anything I can to keep from heating up the house with the oven.

This generally means that I turn to my handy crock pot(s) for assistance with cooking...
