I see they are called 'party pan' squash in UK. Here, it's 'patty pan' but they are hard to find these days.
Foods in the BL72 house
I tossed enough chopped parsnip, buttercup squash, kumara, carrots and a potato in a plastic (horrors, shoot me at once!) bag containing 1/2 tsp oil.
Enough for 2 meals.
These I roasted with garlic then ate some with a mixed, crispy salad (iceberg lettuce, shredded cabbage red and white, carrot).
I rarely roast things but particularly like hot and cold foods together.
The rest of the squash and carrots I made into soup.
This is quite heavy on the carbs but I can go days without eating any carbs at all.
The bread I buy is about $15 a loaf (£8) so it is eaten very sparingly and lasts at least month.
The rest I may eat tomorrow with leek sauce and a sprinkling of cheese.
Protein will come from a boiled egg, tomato, cottage cheese and avocado at teatime (4pm).
I don't eat meat, although I will cook it for my son.
When he spent the day with me on Saturday, I made chicken breast stuffed with a schmear of cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and finely sliced chorizo.
Wrapped it in bacon and foil and baked it.
Served this with potatoes, broccoli with the rest of the mushrooms.
I just ate the veg part.
I had intended making rhubarb and apple crumble but we were both too full. So today I had a portion of the fruit with coconut yoghurt for breakfast.
The rest I froze against the next family visit.
Not very inspiring I'm afraid.
