I’ve had avocado toast before, but this is a new and better spin on what most people think of. In this recipe, the avocado is the main ingredient. Top it with an egg, lettuce, tomato, onion, and breakfast is served.
My garden did really well last summer. As a result, I have had an abundance of butternut squash that I’ve needed to use. Recently, I stumbled onto this recipe that proved to be a hit with a group of folks I had for an herbal workshop. It was so attractive in the dish, how could it not be tasty too? Eat the rainbow…this dish checks that off! Enjoy!

Mushrooms have moved up in the culinary space with their many uses! Mushrooms like shiitake, oyster, and lions mane are showing up at farmer’s markets, restaurants, and even perhaps your kitchen table!
At a recent stroll through a farmer’s market, I was captivated by the wonderful display of medicine that lay before my eyes! Since COVID, I’ve battled off and on with brain fog. I have found lions mane mushrooms to really be a supportive ally in this regard.
As a recovering vegetarian, I'm super picky about what meats I will consume. Not all meat is the same.

I have a friend who live is a large city where ethic foods are more commonly found. Often she stops by an Afghan place that makes the most delicious pumpkin. When I think of pumpkin, I think of halloween carving and pies at Thanksgiving. It’s been an eye-opening experience to try pumpkin in any form. I will admit, I cheated in this recipe and used butternut squash as it was what I had on hand. The next time I make it, I’ll turn up the heat just a bit by adding a few more jalapeños.
Lentils are a staple in my house. As a vegetarian, lentils provide me with a good source of protein and fiber that my body needs. This is soup season, and I’m loving it. Warm and nourishing, soups can be a side or the main event. This recipe calls for butternut squash, which is loaded with nutrients, as well as, fresh spinach that added at the end. Feel free to leave it a little chunky or blend it until it’s to the consistency you wish.
Nothing says fall like butternut squash. The best part of these tasty vegetables is how hardy they are. I remember a few years ago growing butternut squash in my little garden. I harvested at least two dozen and were able to enjoy them over the winter months. This particular squash is a great source of Vitamin A, plus Vitamins C & E along with essential minerals. Vitamin A is involved in immune function, vision, reproduction, and cellular communication. Vitamin A also supports cell growth, playing a critical role in the normal formation and maintenance of the heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs.
