Rosemary Roasted Delicata Squash
My sister (who went Paleo and is killing it), bought some delicata squash at a local farmer’s market with my parents in Iowa…I had never heard of it, but she said it was amazing. Therefore, I had to try, I love veggies and am obsessed with trying new things. In all honesty, it was in with the pumpkins, so I think I thought initially it was a decorative gourd, haha.
I looked for a quick easy recipe to try it out, and this recipe is the one I used from White on Rice Couple.
Favorite things about this new squash: 1) it’s smaller, so much easier to cut through when raw, 2) the skin gets soft with roasting so no need to peel (yay more nutrients!), 3) tastes a little less starchy, 4) versatile, and 5) bright color 🙂
I highly recommend you buy a couple and give it a go!

You learn far more from negative leadership than from positive leadership. Because you learn how not to do it. And, therefore, you learn how to do it.

One of my very favorite classes while I was obtaining my MBA was Theories of Leadership. It became even more valuable when I had the poorest example of a leader that I’d ever experienced. While it was a horrible time, I walked away from that being able to apply even more of what I’d learned to the situation and life, and I learned how never to lead. I’m thankful I went through it, as it fueled my passion for positive and effective leadership even more so.
Spicy Asian Inspired Stirfry
I was in the mood for spice the other night, with a lot of vegetables in the fridge, so I threw this together and it was fabulous!
Spicy Asian Inspired Stirfry
- 1 package mushrooms
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red onion
- 3 carrots
- 10 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 bag broccoli slaw
- Crushed red pepper
- Powdered ginger
- Black pepper
- Cashews for topping
- Coconut aminos
I chopped everything so it was ready to go, then melted about 1 TBSP of coconut oil in a sauté pan. I added the more firm vegetables first, garlic, carrots, onion. Then I added the pepper, and broccoli slaw. I generously sprinkled with crushed red pepper, powdered ginger and black pepper. I continued sautéing until the broccoli slaw started to cook down, about 10 minutes, and then added the mushrooms (and a dollop more of coconut oil), until cooked. All vegetables were crisp, and spicy! Last, I topped with cashews, and tossed until they warmed. Sprinkled with coconut aminos as a soy sauce replacement, and voilà ! Spicy Asian Inspired Stirfry 🙂
