Spaghetti Squash

This is the Squash season and I wanted to share with you the decadent squash!
This squash is almost sugary and light in his consistency, that makes it my favorite squash!

A Spaghetti squash is light yellow, long and pretty heavy for its size.

There is different technique to cook it:

You can cut it in half and cook it in the oven for about 50 min

or

you can cook it in the microwave 

(I know there is lots of negative point of view with this microwave!)

Anyway!
To cook it in the microwave,

poke your knife few time all around the squash.

Put in a micro-able dish with a tiny bit of water

Cook for 5min / pounds

it must be almost soft when cooked.

Cut it in half

(Warning it will be hot!)

Scoop the seeds

Then grate the fibers with a fork

And that's it!

You have a plate of  healthy Spaghetti Squash!

You can add some garlic, parsley or your favorite tomato sauce!

Enjoy!

For my new visitors!

For my new visitors who are concerned with their health, I highly recommend to read this book:

This NOT a book on another diet to loose weight!

This is a book explaining the trick of the drug foods!

This is the 1st step to understand how we are manipulated!
Avoid certain products like dairy products, refined sugar, refined flour etc...

To eat more veggies and fruits think of juicing them, you'll get way more than if you eat them in a salad,
and this is the key!

Look how colorful your real food is!

Make colorful and healthy drinks!

You can find the book here:

or maybe at your local library!

Have fun in your new journey!

Sweet treat!

Do you know this fruit?:

it's not very appealing, isn't it?!

But as I like to discover new fruits and vegetable;

What grow in our planet, I wanted to try them...

So after a bit of research, I bought a box of Sweet Tamarind.

You can find them in the Asian fresh product 

To open them, you have to break the shell by pushing on it.

once you took of the shell, there is some 'strings' around that you have to take off too:

still not appealing! 

when they are fresh they are pretty sticky but after few days they are like dates and they taste like them too.

There is huge and plenty of seeds in there

 If you know this fruit, let us know if you are doing any recipe with them...

What are your experience?

Pumpkin season!

How to use your pumpkin raw!

1) Juice it!

2 cups of sliced pumpkin, 2 carrots, 2 apples, ginger and cinnamon to taste

makes a tasty and delicious seasonal juice!

2) Make a raw pumpkin tart

with raw coconut whipped cream!

The texture of this recipe is almost like an apple sauce; I would recommend either to freeze it a little bit or add chia seeds, or avocado or durian fruits to get a harder consistency.

3) Use the pumpkin seeds to make a seed pate:

Wash and dry the seeds; dehydrate them over night.

Later on soak a cup of pumpkin seeds with 1/2 cup of almonds

drain, mix together with some garlic, 1/4 cup of sundried tomatoes, 2 tbsp of olive oil , 2 tbsp of hemp protein, 1 tbsp of lemon juice, a pinch of salt and some herbs.

4) Make some crakers and other small pumpkin carrot cakes

5) A raw pumpkin soup...

6) Some pumpkin cookies...

any other ideas?... share them in the comment below...
