S is for................Squash.

So I've been trying to cook healthier and also eat more fruits and vegetables. Gavan is being a good sport at trying new things too. So far we've expanded our vegetable selection that consisted of corn and peas to yellow squash, butternut squash, esparagus, and sweet potato. It's sometimes harder or more time consuming as well as more expensive to cook healthier foods but I think it's worth it, especially now that Jaylen will be eating food soon. You just think about it more when you bring a child into the mix. It's funny how dirty your house can get or how unhealthy you will live before children and then your perspective totally changes.

Yellow Squash: I cook these in butter and add a touch of salt. They are yummy.

Butternut Squash: You can bake these in the oven if you have time or microwave if you are crunched for time. Just slice it long ways, clean the seeds out, and bake it till it's soft. Then put some butter and brown sugar on it. It's yummy too. Gavan asked me if we put butter and brown sugar on it if it is still healthy and I told him it was better than nothing.
