Low Carb Diva

September 18, 2011 Day 11

So I made butternut squash and did one half with olive oil and salt. The other half had some erythritol and cinnamon. Hubby and I both agreed that the erythritol and cinnamon side was much better then the olive oil and salt.

Butternut squash was easy to make and kind of reminded me of a sweet potato. It's pretty carby so I think I would prefer the sweet potato to the squash. I like my sweet potato with butter and salt! Yummy.

Haven't made the acorn squash yet but I did buy a pie pumpkin this weekend and hubby made low carb pumpkin cheesecake that was so delicious.

I will post more on this delightfully delectable treat Monday or Tuesday so stay tuned.

September Day 15 Day 14

Decided to make butternut squash for the first time today. Debating if I will add some Erythritol and cinnamon to it or just go with the salt and olive oil. May do one side of each just to see the taste difference as this is the first time I have made this. I do love the bright orange flesh inside the squash. Of course a cup of this is 22 carbs so not something to eat everyday!

Stay tuned for my report on how this squash tasted and my next adventure in cooking with new foods will be....Acorn Squash.
