Delicata Squash Salad

INGREDIENTS
For the Salad
2 medium delicata squash, around 1 and 1/4 pounds total
1 tablespoon olive oil
kosher sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 heaping cups baby arugula
1 cup pomegranate arils
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup raw pistachios
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
3 to 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
For the Balsamic
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Slice the squash into 1/2-inch
wide rounds and then cute each round in half. Use a spoon to scoop out
the seeds from each round. Drizzle the squash with a generous
tablespoon of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. Toss to combine.
Roast for about 30 minutes or until the squash is tender and golden,
flipping halfway.
2 In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, toast the pistachios,
stirring frequently, until they are fragrant and lightly golden on the
edges. Remove from heat.
3 In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar,
honey with a pinch of salt and pepper.
4 Once the squash has had a few minutes to cool, combine the arugula,
pomegranate, dried fruit, toasted nuts, sliced red onion, crumbled
feta and squash in a serving bowl. Toss with enough dressing to
lightly coat the leaves. Serve immediately.

TOFINO BANANA-PEAR MUFFINS

These simple muffins are a perfect canvas for any type of fruit -
berries, chunked apples or peaches - everything goes with banana.
Or
go for chunkily chopped walnuts or a handful of chocolate chips.
Plain, they are brilliant split while still warm and smeared with
peanut butter. If you use pears, don't bother peeling them - not only is it extra work, you lose a lot of the fiber and nutrients.
Ingredients
2-3 large very ripe bananas
1/2-3/4 cup sugar, white or brown
2 large eggs
2-4 Tbsp. canola or olive oil
1 tsp. vanilla (if you have it)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, or half all-purpose and half whole wheat
1 tsp. baking soda
pinch salt
1 ripe pear, roughly chopped (don't bother peeling it)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
Preheat oven to 375F.
In a medium bowl, mash together the bananas, sugar, eggs, oil and
vanilla with a potato masher or spatula until blended and the bananas
are well mashed - don't worry about getting all the lumps out. Add the
flour, baking soda and salt, and stir just until the batter starts
coming together; add the pear and walnuts, or whatever additions you
are using, and stir just until combined. Don't overmix, or your
muffins could be tough.
Spoon the batter into muffin tins that are lined with paper liners or
sprayed with nonstick spray, filling them about 3/4 full. If you like,
sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar. Bake for20-30 minutes, depending
on the size of your muffins, until golden and the tops are springy to
the touch

Meal 2
Butternut Squash Veggie Pizza

PREP TIME
15 minutes
COOK TIME
45 minutes
TOTAL TIME
1 hour
Servings: (slices)
Category: Entree
Cuisine: Gluten-Free, Vegan
Freezer Friendly Sauce only
Does it keep? 2-3 Days
Ingredients
SAUCE
3 cups butternut squash (cubed*)
3 cloves garlic (whole // skin removed)
2 Tbsp olive oil (divided)
1 pinch sea salt + black pepper
1 Tbsp maple syrup
PIZZA
4 1 1/2 cups broccolini (chopped // large stems removed)
5 1/2 cup red onion (chopped)
6 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (rinsed and thoroughly dried // optional)
7 1 pinch sea salt + black pepper
8 1 tsp dried oregano
9 6 ounces store-bought pizza dough (I Love Trader Joe’s Garlic & Herb
or Whole Wheat // or this gluten-free recipe)
10 1 cup Butternut Squash Sauce (recipe above)
11 1/2 cup vegan parmesan cheese or store-bought vegan mozzarella cheese*
FOR SERVING optional
1 Vegan parmesan cheese
2 Red pepper flakes
Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and position a rack in the
middle of the oven.
2 Add cubed butternut squash and peeled garlic cloves to a baking
sheet and drizzle with half of the olive oil (1 Tbsp as original
recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) and a pinch each
salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
3 Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until all squash is fork tender.
4 Transfer squash and garlic to a blender or food processor with
remaining olive oil (1 Tbsp as original recipe is written // adjust if
altering batch size) and maple syrup. Purée until creamy and smooth,
adding more olive oil or a touch of water if it's too thick. The
consistency should be creamy and spreadable (not pourable).
5 Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Set aside.
6 Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 tsp oil,
broccolini, onion, chickpeas (optional), salt and pepper, and oregano.
Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Set aside.
7 Increase oven heat to 425 degrees F (218 C).
8 Roll out pizza dough into an even circle and transfer to a
parchment-lined round baking sheet (or similarly-shaped object).
9 Top with 1 cup sauce (you will have leftover sauce, which you can
reserve for other pizzas // amount as original recipe is written //
adjust if altering batch size), veggies, and chickpeas. Sprinkle on a
bit more oregano and vegan parmesan cheese (or vegan mozzarella).
10 Transfer pizza to the oven, laying the pizza and parchment paper
directly on oven rack (slide the baking sheet off so it can bake
directly on the rack for a crispier crust). Bake for 13-18 minutes, or
until crust edges are golden brown.
11 Slice and serve with remaining parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and
red pepper flakes (optional). Leftovers keep well for 2-3 days, though
best when fresh.
Notes
*The best way to cube butternut squash is to start with a large, very
sharp knife, cutting off the top and bottom ends. Then cut in half
where the small, cylinder shape and round, bulb-shape meet. Use knife
to carefully remove skin. Then remove any seeds with spoon or ice
cream scoop. Cut into small cubes and proceed with recipe as directed.
*For vegan mozzarella cheese, I love Daiya brand.
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate.
