Okey, it may be sounds so weird but this it the time that I only knew about Italian squash. I never heard about any kind of squash before. But recently, I found out that Italian squash are Zucchini. Ok, the story behind it goes like this. I asked my husband to buy some Italian squash, since I was making some recipe dinner. And when hubby were at the store, he called me to asked if the Italian squash are the same with Zucchini, since the store only had Zucchini. And so, I begun searching it online and that's where I found it. And now, i know there's a lot of name but with same meaning. Well, searching online is a good thing to do to learn more.Zucchini in North American and Australian English or courgette in New Zealand and British English is a small summer squash. Along with some ot

Australia's Adam Gilchrist credited a squash ball stuffed inside his glove after pulverising Sri Lanka's bowlers with his match-winning 149 in the World Cup final on Saturday.Gilchrist hit 13 fours and eight sixes from just 104 balls and pointed to his glove as he celebrated the fastest hundred in the history of Cup finals."I was pretty pumped up," he told a news conference after being named the player-of-the-final.

I enjoyed getting a little silly with this dish. I had blue cornmeal on hand, and I just couldn't resist the idea of crusting my little shrimps with it. I think the contrast between the shrimp and the risotto is lovely, too.Happy First Day of Spring, btw. The weather here is more than a bit crazy. I feel like we're going to get blown away at any minute, the wind is so wicked. It was one of those mornings that had me not wanting to get out of our nice warm cozy bed. I even got back in a few times... got up, fed the cats, got back into bed. Got up, started the shower, got back into bed. I stayed in as long as I could... but we have bills to pay, so off to work I went.

Detroit’s two most prominent emcees, Royce Da 5’9” and Eminem, have officially resolved their longstanding differences. “I been talking to Em,” Royce revealed to HipHopDX.com exclusively today. “I didn’t even really wanna tell nobody [yet]. That was kinda like a secret thing. I don’t really know where it’s gonna go. Right now we’re just really focusing on repairing the friendship. That’s the most important thing to me.” And what did the two old friends discuss in their first conversation in years? Not music, says Royce, “We just been talking about intangible shit like movies, our favorite movies, just realizing how much shit we always had in common. That first conversation we had we talked for like two hours, just about everything. We did a lot of catching up.

Squash or “kalabasa” (Cucurbita moschata Duch) is a viny, creeping and trailing crop producing fruits and considered to be one of the most delicious vegetables.

So, I've decided to give myself random food challenges. This will not only be to expand my views of certain foods, but my culinary repertoire. I have to admit that I generally think of certain foods to be good for few purposes. Those tried and true recipes that we all know, and don't really diverge from. No more, I say!My first challenge is Raw Butternut Squash. I haven't worked much with winter squashes in my life, and I tend to only make creamy soups from them. About a week ago, I did a couple days of just raw food. I had this lovely butternut squash sitting there, crying at me to be used for something... But squash, how could I use you in my raw food adventures? What wonderful flavours could you possibly bring to my raw table? It just screamed CAROB! I don't know why - it just did.The o

Yesterday afternoon I made up 6 batches of homemade pasta. I typically make plain egg noodles and spinach noodles but I had some butternut squash on hand so I decided to use that as well and see what I got. The end result? Yummy pasta recipes are up on my American Housewife site.

Last week I blogged that my parents had come to visit and brought not only some cheese they had purchased in bulk from a local Mennonite auction, but a few other things, including containers my Dad had pulled out of the freezer and brought to me without my mother immediately knowing. They were labeled "Squash" on the top by a hastily scribbled marker. That's all I knew about them.My Mother has never been one to branch out in her cooking nor her eating. She only eats one type of squash, and that would be butternut with tons of brown sugar and butter on it and baked in the oven. I've never, ever been a fan of this... not as a child, not as an adult. I tend to shy away from any foods smothered in 'sweet' sugars or sauces of any kind so it's not a surprise that dumping sugar and butter o

Nethi Beerakaya aka Silk squash ( Chinese Okra ) tastes more like Ridge gourd except for the smooth skin and the texture similar to zucchini. Nethi means ghee or butter in telugu, this ridgegourd is called so because of its buttery texture when cooked. The flesh is so smooth and spongy, it took just a few minutes to cook completely. We actually found a small farmers market ( just a couple miles away ) with all the Indian vegetables for which i have been searching for years. Yes i do love this place, the produce was so fresh and the prices very cheap compared to an Indian grocery which was...

Chipotle butternut squash soup with herbed wheat breadCalabaza is the general Spanish word for winter squash. Butternut squash are called ayote here in La Ceiba, but apparently other types of squash are also called ayote as well.Just after we moved into the house here in La Ceiba, Honduras, and before we started landscaping, we had a bumper crop of butternut squash. We had some huge compost piles working in the back yard and as a result of tossing in our kitchen scraps, the compost piles sprouted chiles, tomatoes, papaya trees, and butternut squash. It might have been my best garden ever. ;-) The vines, as squash vines will do, tried to take over the earth. We ended up with probably 100 squash. We gave some to family and the few workers we had a the time, gave some to Carlos to sell at the

This butternut recipe for squash is a tasty and healthy vegetable for your family meal. Butternut squash is a power food - an excellent source of fiber, vitamins, minerals and beta carotene and has been shown to have anti-cancer properties as well as other health promoting benefits.Unfortunately, we don’t cook butternut squash often and most people don’t know how to cook it properly. It is a very versatile vegetable, it can be cooked as a savory dish or sweet with sugar and spices. Most recipes that call for pumpkin can be made with butternut squash as well.Butternut Squash is a winter squash with a thick skin that helps to preserve it. Trimming away this thick skin is the hardest part of the recipe below. Many people don’t peel it, but halve it and roast it in the skin, scooping the

We loved eating desert during fiestas, birthdays and other special occasions. Even during ordinary days we loved eating between meals, it has become a common habit among us. Squash is a good snack rich in Vitamin A and contains calcium, phosphorus and iron. This becomes attractive snacks for the young when served in different ways. Below are various ways to process squash. SQUASH CUCHINTA

I'll admit it. I have a problem. I tend to focus on an ingredient and then make it eleventy billion ways. At that point, Dave is tired of eating it, so I move on to something else. It may take a while for me to fixate on something new, but the fixation is inevitable. I don't see what's so wrong with it, myself. I look at it as fully exploring and experimenting with an ingredient. Or something. :)This dish features two of my more recent loves (butternut squash and fresh pasta), plus one I can't let go (goat cheese). I think all three are easily explainable, don't you? It's Winter, and butternut squash is in season, so I am taking advantage of the opportunity to eat seasonably. Fresh pasta is so easy to make (provided you have the right equipment, otherwise not so much) and tastes so so nice

You know that feeling you get, when you know you've blown something off long enough that you feel so guilty that you keep blowing it off because maybe then you won't have to fess up to it? I'll admit that its that feeling that mightily contributed to my failing out of college (as I'd skip class a few too many times but feel to sheepish to return). You'd think I'd have a handle on that feeling by now, being an official grown-up and all... but no. Here it has happened again. :)I also didn't make any resolutions last week, which is new for me. I don't know if I've ever mentioned it, but I only started really cooking because of a New Years resolution. You see, it was what... 2000?... when I met my husband... I knew how to cook a few things... like Chicken Kate or Chicken Mom or Salisbury Steak

Seemavankaya aka Bengaluru Vankaya ( called in telugu ) is my favorite squash not just for its unique texture but also for the pappu(seed) inside. I remember when we were kids we used to fight for that seed(pappu ) in seema vankaya sambar. This is from the family of squash but less spongy than bottle gourd( sorakaya ) and holds its shape when cooked unlike sorakaya(bottle gourd ) or beerakaya( ridge gourd ). I have fallen for this beauty for its unique sweet flavor. This Chayote squash curry with tomatoes can pack quite a flavor and nutrition punch! This dish is going to HEART OF THE MATTER- Quick and Easy.My favorite way of preparing this dish is making sambar just with this vegetable with toor dal, tamarind and green chillies, which tastes as simple as it sounds. Another simple authentic andhra dish is to make poriyal or stir fry with tadka or talimpu and adding lots of coconut at the end.. This way of cooking chayote squash makes the dish so mild you can just finish the whole bowl w

A monthly event dedicated to food photography. CLICK is theme-based. Each month, entries will be invited based on a culinary ingredient or concept. This month’s theme is noodles. I tried my best to come up with something original yet photogenic as well. While I think the pasta came out much better than expected, my photos came out just average. The dish was good enough to talk bout so here’s the story. A few weeks ago at the local farmer’s market I picked up a butternut squash, just because. I really had no idea what I was going to do with it, but I knew it would keep for at least a month while I decided its fate. While I was thinking about what I could do for this month’s CLICK I came up with the idea to make a twist on butternut squash ravioli. The raviolis are usually filled with cooked squash puree that is mixed with a light cheese like ricotta and some select spices. They’re quickly cooked in some salted boiling water and then served with a light sa

For some reason, I've been getting Weight Watcher's e-newsletter. I'm guessing it's because I used to be an online member and they want me back. How nice of them.

But when I saw this recipe for Butternut Squash Salad with Curry-Appple Dressing, I had to try it - especially since it's only 4 Weight Watchers POINTS.

My vegetable garden this past year was full of volunteer plants. Without one iota of work on my part other than covering the soil a year ago with leaves, grass and other mulch-y items, in the spring I had well over a dozen tomato plants come up from last years fallen comrades. The two or three that I kept grew thick and lush, with tomatoes bigger than my fist and thick upon the vines. Sadly, they got thoroughly annihilated in the August hailstorm, and it broke my heart. Maybe next year, huh? *sigh* Goodbye BLT’s. Goodbye Caprese. Sayanara spaghetti sauce. I also had squash vines coming up, and I just expected that they would be pumpkins. Every Halloween we carve anywhere from 6-8 pumpkins to decorate our yard. I put them in trees, under bushes and all over the place. The effect from the street is very, very cool. The next day, the jack-o-lanterns take a walk to the garden and get broken up for the deer to eat, which they happily do. So when I saw squash vines, I wasn’t surp

Sprinkle on the parsley and chives, and also the fresh chervil and/or tarragon, if used.

There are a lot of tips out there for preparing butternut squash. This is a really diverse vegetable and can be used in an added to many many things.The best cooking tips for butternut squash come by knowing a bit about the product itself. It comes from the gourd family, which is native to the Western Hemisphere. Some people believe that native Mexicans were eating this vegetable as early as 5500 BC. As you can see this food as a very long history as well as still being a favorite today.There are two different kinds of squash. Summer and winter. Butternut squash is winter squash. At their biggest it will probably grow to be about 3 pounds. However, they can be smaller and a smaller squash should still taste just fine.When shopping, try to always pick one that’s heavy in your hands and has no moldy spots on it. You can store squash for a relatively long time because the skin is so hard and thick. You will want to keep it in a cool, dry place for up to a month. If you cut the product,

Things have been a little crazy on the work/study front this week as I am trying to come to terms with my schedule for the fall semester. It looks like I might get more obsessed with saving minutes instead of saving dollars for the next few weeks. Also, with each passing day in grad school, I have a better understanding of why “PhD” stands for “Permanent head Damage.” Anyways, look what I got from our farmer’s market yesterday: That’s a long squash in the picture. The tennis ball is just to give you a size reference. At almost 3 feet, this is probably the longest squash I have ever seen. It weighed about 5 pounds and cost us about $6. The moment I saw it, I named it as “Barry Bonds Squash” because: well, it looked like a baseball bat (almost). it also looked pretty juiced up. I was later relieved to find out that this variety of long squash can indeed grow naturally up to three feet. Sorry Barry Bonds, no stimulants involved. *

Apparently, Martin and her ‘All of Us’ husband usually participate in a prison outreach event together in Pennsylvania. When she attended the event solo this year, rumors began on a Philadelphia radio station that they were having marital problems and are separated.

Ah, the humble summer squash. It’s growing overboard in many a garden right now. Your neighbors are probably stopping by to ask if you’d like any zucchini, cause they just picked one the size of Texas that was lurking beneath an unturned leaf, and by the way, do you like yellow crookneck? Say yes, because then you can turn this prolific summer vegetable into this sassy potato and squash torte. This torte dresses up the humble potato and $1-per-pound squash that’s overflowing farmers market stalls right now. It’s quite pretty and it’s tasty enough to be the centerpiece of a summer vegetarian dinner party, but secretly it’s just a matter layering the sliced veggies with some herbs and parmesan and sticking it in the oven. Somehow, when baked together with thyme, green onions, and parmesan cheese, the earthy potatoes and sweet summer squash are elevated far beyond their usual status of standard side veggie and into the realm of the extraordinarily de

Okay, so my cooking skills perhaps outshine my facility for making up names for recipes. All the good names have been taken, though - how could I hope to top, say, “Ouefs a la Neige,” or “Spanikopita?” Anyway, I am having some sort of summer crud involving a sore throat and a stuffy nose, and so I convinced myself that some healthy food would help me get better faster. Never mind the fact that I had several zucchini, summer squash, and sweet onions on the edge of death from last week’s trip to the Farmer’s Market. My original plan was to use up the instant barley in my cupboard and combine it with a vaguely Italian combination of the squashes, onions, garlic and some fresh Basil and Parmesan. I still plan to try this some day, but making it today would have meant dipping into the Parmesan I need to make Carbonara for dinner, so I changed continents and found a can of black beans and some cumin seeds.

Butternut squash, how I love thee! This recipe came from Chef Rossi at Bust magazine. I've made it twice and it's fantastic. And according to Weight Watchers, it only has 2 Points per cup. Butternut Squash Soup Ingredients: four onions - either white or yellow three med/large butternut squash seasonings: salt, pepper, cumin, corriander, curry, ginger, etc. to taste veggie or chicken broth - enough to cover Directions: Chop up onions and sautee in olive oil until soft over medium high heat. This recipe makes a lot of soup, so use a large stock pot. Peel butternut squash (a carrot peeler works best). Cut in half and remove seeds. Cut into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces Add squash to onions. Add seasonings to taste. I really liked using 1 teaspoon curry, 1 teaspoon corriander, 1 teaspoon cumin, and fresh ginger slices. (I removed the ginger slices before adding the broth.) Sautee until soft over medium high heat. Putting the lid on the stock pot helps cook the squash more quickly. B

Professional squash once again returns to New York City. The Tournament of Champions will be hosted inside Grand Central Station from February 24 - March 2nd. You can purchase tickets here. If you have never seen professional squash, it is well worth it; especially when held in an amazing venue like Grand Central. One of the neatest aspects of squash is the use of portable courts allowing tournaments to be held in such exotic locales as the Pyramids in Giza or on beaches in the Caribbean. Social Media holds a ton of promise for niche sports like squash. Notoriously difficult to film, squash is rarely featured on television.
