The Wonderful Butternut Squash……..

Its time to take a step back and revisit life and food as I know it! This is the start of the new me! lol, that sounds kind of funny right?

Anyway, after a total vegetarian day ( this was not on purpose, just happened and please note I come from cow country), I came back from my first go at an Orangetheory Fitness gym and have to say that I think I am dying!

Of course I realized that I have nothing for lunch tomorrow, so into the kitchen a go, energy or not!

Found one of my favorite veggies hiding in the back of the fridge, a lovely Butternut Squash!

Gave it a quick passing with my handy dandy peeler, cubed it and placed it in a roasting pan. Added some chunky sliced onions, some whole garlic cloves, some leftover baby sweet peppers and 2 lovely jalapeños from the yard.

A little drizzle of sesame oil, a dusting of salt, black pepper and into the oven they went for a slow nice roasting until they are totally caramelized……

So there you have it, that didn’t take much of my non existent energy, I will now have a delicious lunch and tomorrow night I will transform the leftovers (that is if there are any left) into a creamy butternut squash soup 🙂

Once again, 2 meals out of one ingredient! Don’t you love it <3
