Squashed

IMG_7926-2Blog

I may like squash more than pumpkin. Maybe.

I roasted up a pan of butternut squash and fennel this afternoon to have for an early dinner. I tossed them in a few tbsp of coconut oil along with salt, pepper and cinnamon. 400* for 30 minutes = divine buttery squash.

IMG_7929-3Blog

A light dinner heavy on the vegetables because I was headed out to meet Matt at Second Street Gallery where we were providing bread for the second Brews with a View event this summer.

IMG_0599-2Blog

This time we made ROLLS! Lots of rolls along with cinnamon butter, herbed butter, curried tuna and lemony hummus (all made in-house so I’m sorry I can’t share the recipes)

IMG_0600-2Blog

We met some of our friends there – Eileen and Meredith and their respective gentlemen – and also met a few new friends of the gallery.

[It was chilly enough to wear a jacket!]

IMG_0602-2Blog

IMG_0601-2Blog

I had about 4 stuffed rolls throughout the evening. The cinnamon butter was my fav!

IMG_0605-2Blog

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm all you can drink brews!!!

    IMG_0606-2Blog IMG_0607-2Blog

And great music!

IMG_0608-2Blog

Just got home – my legs are so tired from standing!!

Can you smell the weekend yet?

    They need to publish a GH cookbook for those that don’t live near one! Those butters sound so good- I need to experiment with adding ingredients to the normal stuff for some variety.

    I like pumpkin for sweet treats but when it comes to dinner, I’m all about squash. There’s something so comforting and delicious about simply roasting sliced squash with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. A go-to meal September through winter.

    Did you peel the squash? I thought you had to peel butternut (i.e., the peel isn’t edible), but it looks like yours is still on. Am I mixing up my squashes?

      Sorry to butt in but the peel is def edible…it’s actually one of my fave parts about squash- just scrub it well!

      I peeled this one. I’ve eaten the peels before – they are delicious – but I think they are a bit difficult on digestion…ifyouknowwhatimean.

      Acorn squash is ribboned so it’s really hard to peel, so I do eat the peel on that one. But I usually peel the butternut.

    I remember in your old blog bios, you had pictures of Matt from the early days and in college. He was bigger then. How’d he get so thin? Bakery owner/beer brewer, shouldn’t that be the cause of beer bellies and such? And you’d think people gain weight even more as they age now that he’s older. I’m a long time reader and have been meaning to ask, also because my husband is piling on the pounds and he’s looking for ways to get back into shape, maybe to even like when he was in college.

    • KathEats says

      September 30, 2011 at 8:32 am

      That’s because he used to drink beer 6 nights a week 🙂 Now it’s more like 3.

      He eats bread all the time, but I think he’s a perfect example of how bread = energy. He’s moving all day long, so he needs the carbohydrates and they don’t get stored as fat.

      His BMI is smack in the middle of the healthy range

    The boyfriend just admited at dinner the other night that he may like butternut squash more than pumpkin. Pairing it with fennel?! I’m copying that. Fennel is so underrated!

    Also, have you and Matt heard about Crispin? I just went to a product line event last night and was very impressed with their hard ciders and perries. It’s the polar opposite of Woodchucks! I put up some info in today’s post if you want to peek at it.

        Agreed less than 15 hours ago! I’d recommend sampling with them with a few people. A lot of beer drinkers were jumping on them last night though. For one line of their ciders they use beer yeast strands to ferment! They also have an entire mixology for mixing the ciders with beer. So surprisingly good.

    On coconut oil…the jar I have says “medium heat, up to 350 degrees.” My boyfriend always protests me using it to roast veggies. Are there different coconut oils that can withstand higher levels of heat. Is it a really conservative esitmate on the label…and is safe (for the most-part??) This is alwyas a question I have because I LOVE coconut oil!
