What to do with extra pizza dough and two extra butternut squash?
Tonight's dinnerButternut Squash Curry and warm bread
Star rating: 4
Ingredients:
1 butternut squash (peeled, seeded, cubed)
1 bell pepper (I used orange)
1 cup steamed fresh or frozen broccoli (I used frozen)
1 small can coconut milk
curry powder, mustard seeds, and cumin seeds
ginger and chiles would have been good...I didn't have them
"Garnish": blend 3-4 kale leaves, 1 cup of water, pinch of salt, scoop of nutritional yeast (1-2 tablespoons?), 5-10 cashews, blended until a sauce and set aside.
Oh yeah, I baked the pizze dough plain with some salt, and sliced it in strips and ate it with the curried squash.
I have to note, I felt very sleepy right after I ate, like a food coma feeling. Could I be allergic to wheat? I'm starting to suspect something...I'll be watching that. It could have also been the fatty coconut sauce, but I'm seeing other red flags.
Until next time...
Woo hoo on getting in 9 veggie and fruit servings. You go girl!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it was the wheat or coconut milk. Hope you figure it out soon. ;-)
