WHAT MAKES ME AN "INFORMED" FOOD BLOGGER

I am CURRENTLY a PRACTICING PHYSICIAN .

However, I did complete TWO YEARS of college studying GENERAL BIOCHEMISTRY AND MICROBIOLOGY, Food technology,Food Microbiology and Biochemistry prior to deciding that I am more inclined to the CLINICAL SIDE of things and hence decided to get into MEDICAL SCIENCE .

I did very well in medical school thereafter and am now a "kick-ass" doctor .

My interest in "Food" and the "Science of cooking" continues to this day and explains why I now have a Food blog as part of my LECINQBLOG family of Blogs

I seek to dispel FOOD FADS, food myths via this food blog.I seek also to increase health awareness by canvassing for healthier diets.

Good chef meets GOOD DOCTOR meets good writer=Informative food blog, no?

BUTTERNUT SQUASH-LECINQBLOG'S HALLOWEEN FOOD-NUTRITION INFORMATION

BUTTERNUT SQUASH-LECINQBLOG'S HALLOWEEN FOOD-NUTRITION INFORMATION
I am CURRENTLY a PRACTICING PHYSICIAN .However, I did complete TWO YEARS of college studying GENERAL BIOCHEMISTRY AND MICROBIOLOGY, Food technology,Food Microbiology and Biochemistry prior to deciding that I am more inclined to the CLINICAL SIDE of things and hence decided to get into MEDICAL SCIENCE .I did very well in medical school thereafter and am now a "kick-ass" doctor .My interest in "Food" and the "Science of cooking" continues to this day and explains why I now have a Food blog as part of my LECINQBLOG family.I seek to dispel FOOD FADS, food myths via this food blog.I seek also to increase health awareness by canvassing for healthier diets.
Butternut squash , just like other squashes, is full of goodness and taste.
RULE NO 1: Any squash essentially has a tough skin, which allows it to keep longer than any other vegetable.THAT IS A GREAT ADVANTAGE.Buy it with all other vegetables and USE IT LAST..savior!
RULE NO 2:All squashes have tons of seeds in the center.The seeds are edible, very tasty and full of protein and fiber.DON'T THROW THEM AWAY.separate the squash seeds, wash them and then dry them in sunlight by the kitchen window.Then, at a later time, DRY ROAST THEM and eat them like a snack.I DO THIS ALL THE TIME AND THEY TASTE amazingly great!
RULE NO 3: DO NOT remove peel of squash before cooking . UNLESS you are a baby or an old person with no dentition,THE SQUASH peel IS PERFECTLY EDIBLE and very tasty and full of fiber and vitamins.I see a lot of people oven-roast the squash and then scoop out only the pulp and then discard the skin.CARDINAL SIN.Don't waste the peel or seeds and DON'T oven roast things coz it WASTES ENERGY/ELECTRICITY.
WHAT ARE SQUASHES GOOD FOR?
They are full of carotene-the yellowish orangish pigment which is a vitamin A precursor.very good for you.Full of sugars, and fiber .Very nutritious!
1/UNCOOKED SQUASHES ARE sweet tasting.They are perfectly edible RAW..Yeah,I said it...TRY EATING THEM RAW...shred and eat them raw=muchos tasty!
2/great for stir fries-The sugars in squashes caramelize during stir fry and get uber tasty
3/great for stews-squashes are sturdy and can withstand stewing .CUT them into larger pieces WHILE putting in stews.
4/great for desserts or pies-both sweet and savory pies.POINT IN QUESTION, THE ever so popular PUMPKIN PIE for halloween.
EXPERIMENT and enjoy! happy cooking!
