Oh so good... they are truly like dessert. Our farm grows them and I get a lug or two a year. They keep like a winter squash but you can eat the skins like a summer squash. Try it out next time you are at the grocery. :)<br /><br />Your apple cake sounds good... even the gooey one. ;)<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />Val<br /><br />http://goddesshobbies.blogspot.com/Val in the Rose Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891260349692305609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-12244446955819508932009-10-03T18:11:18.623-05:002009-10-03T18:11:18.623-05:00When I was a kid, I don't think I liked any ve...When I was a kid, I don't think I liked any veggies, period. But as an adult, I grew to tolerate some and even like others. Carrots, peas, broccoli, and tomatoes are my favorites. I don't recall ever having squash, but I admit that your recipe for it sounds inviting. <br /><br />Now as for brussel sprouts and lima beans, I would rather be strung and quartered before eating them.

I DO see where your little guy is coming from on the "tastes like dessert" thing...I tried butternut squash for the first time a year or so ago, and I love it! In fact, I just bought butternut squash soup at Target last night, complete with a label that clearly touts "hints of cinnamon and nutmeg." (Although I'd love to get in on the homemade recipe mentioned in the previous comment!)ballast photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08747843122720438343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-57434779667754170972009-09-29T14:22:48.790-05:002009-09-29T14:22:48.790-05:00Can't wait to try.

Trader Joes makes it so easy by having the BS all chopped and ready to go. I'll have to get that recipe to you. My kids like most veggies raw. So we do lots of chopped red bells, carrots, persian cucumbers, celery, with different dressings or hummus to dip it in. Not sure that is such a NEW idea...but it's all I've got!

You can do baby carrots to, nix the salt and toss with honey afterwards. You can also do haricot vertes & asparagus the same way.

I am just like a kid when it comes to vegetables! Yuck! I will have to try this, though. It looks super yummy! BTW...My 5 year-old takes a salad in her lunch to school 4-5 times a week! It is chopped up carrots, peppers of all colors, cucumber, tomatoes, and pepperoni. No lettuce or dressing. The small chopped chunks of pepperoni was what got her going on the salad in the first place. I got the idea from the CPK chopped salad with the salami pieces chopped up. She loves that salad, too!Tamara McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05146680791739675853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-18949146762880676702009-09-29T08:55:29.012-05:002009-09-29T08:55:29.012-05:00Looks delish Holly!Looks delish Holly!Jenn Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484708374808620986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-64919991742213929302009-09-29T08:30:01.554-05:002009-09-29T08:30:01.554-05:00Wait...
