I have been a bit absent this month from What's left to Eat? I have been busy working and creating my new website Food Allergies Recipe Box.
This site will be home to all of my new recipes and information about living with Food Allergies.
I have been working on Acorn Squash Recipes! Did you know that acorn squash is actually a summer squash (belonging to the same family as zucchini and yellow crookneck squash)?
Acorn squash has become one of my favorite squashes, it has a savory flavor with a little bit of sweet.
One of the new recipes you will see is Acorn Squash Seed Cookies. Have you ever thought about using the seeds before?
I have to admit I was throwing them into the trash but then discovered that they are edible.
If you can't eat nuts these are a great alternative, and relatively cheap if you use the seeds from the fresh squash.
Before I got started on the cookies (I had to mention dessert first : ) I made a delicious Acorn Squash Soup.
If you substitute the chicken stock for vegetable stock this can make for a great vegetarian meal as no meat was used in this allergy friendly recipe.
This soup is also very colorful! Using purple potatoes and vegetables like broccolini, cauliflower, carrots and more!
It's raining where I live today and I am about to make another soup recipe, I hope you enjoy these delicious new recipes, and I hope you visit me over at Food Allergies Recipe Box!
