Roasted Baby Summer Squash

8 baby summer squash (zucchini, yellow summer squash, patty pan squash, or any combination of the three)

2 tablespoons sunflower oil, plus additional for brushing

Salt and Pepper

1 cup packed mixed herb leaves (basil, parsley, sage, oregano, rosemary, thyme, mint)

4 cloves garlic

Preheat oven to 450 degrees, or turn on outdoor grill.

Slice squash in half (lengthwise for the long summer squash, horizontally for the patty pan) and take a small slice off the backs so they will sit flat in a pan, cut side up. Score the cut side of the flesh in a diamond pattern, slicing almost to the skin. Lightly brush the cut sides with oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.

Combine the 2 Tb oil with the herbs and garlic in a food processor. Process to make a paste. Season to taste with salt and pepper.. Spread the past over the cut sides of the squash.

Roast for about 15 minutes, checking after 10 minutes. Remove from heat when the squash are tender and lightly browned. Serve hot.​



Butternut-Apple Crisp
- apples and winter squash are sweet, soothing to pitta and vata. The squash is grounding for vata.

3 cups peeled and sliced butternut squash
2 cups peeled and sliced tart apples, such as Granny Smith
1 cup packed brown sugar (I tend to cut this in half)
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (or whole wheat)
1/2 tsp salt
6 TB butter, softened
1/3 chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 350*. Grease a shallow baking pan.

In a large bowl, combine squash, apples, 1/2 cup brown sugar, spices and lemon juice. Toss to gently mix. Transfer to baking pan and place in preheated oven.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Cominbe the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, slat, and butter in a medium-sized bowl. Stir together until the mixture is crumbly. Mix in the nuts. Spread evenly on top of the swash and apples.

Bake for 40 minutes, until golden brown.

Serve warm or cold. Ice cream makes it even better!

Serves 6.

    ApplE Yum Yum - a Simple and delicious way to start your day

    A Delicious Fall Recipe to Help You Enjoy a Healthy Start to the Day:

    ​Ayurvedic Apple Yum - A simple and infinitely variable recipe crafted by Sharon.  (repeat post)

    All amounts are approximate. Serves ONE person.

    * Take one organic apple, chop and cover with water in a small pot. 
    * Sprinkle with a little salt (1/2 tsp. Salt helps break down fibers.)
    * Add dash cinnamon (1 tsp. Helps metabolize sugars.)
    * Add grated fresh ginger root (1+ Tbsp. Enhances digestion.)
    * Chop and add 5-8 dates (great added natural sweetener.)
    * Throw in a small handful of almonds (8-10. Extra fiber, protein and good fat.)
    * Add other dried fruit as desired (raisins, goji berries, mulberries, mango, apricot)

    * Top with a spoonful of GHEE (1 Tsp. Adds great fat, helps body absorb vitamins and minerals, carries nutrition IN to the cells and waste products OUT.)
    * If desired, add 1/4 cup chia seeds or flax meal (beneficial fiber).


    Bring water to boil, then turn down low and simmer up to 10 minutes or so (until apples are quite soft). 
    Mash together and serve as is.
    Enjoy!

    This is a great way to enjoy the benefits of apples in a warm and nourishing dish. Perfect for the cool, dry mornings of autumn.
