This week Ava is trying yummy Butternut Squash. I had been searching for organic Butternut Squash in several grocery stores, including Whole Foods, but no luck! So I fed Ava her first Conventional Veggie! I wish it were Organic, but a few conventional grown fruits and veggies here and there are okay!
1. Buy Butternut Squash.
2. Rinse and Peel the skin of the squash. Butternut Squash has a very thick skin, so it will take a little time.
3. Rinse again and cut the squash in half, long ways.
4. Scoop out the seeds and stringy stuff using an ice cream scoop.
5. Cut the squash into cubes.
6. Place cubes in a pot, cover with water and boil until tender.
7. Put squash in a food processor. Puree for several minutes.
8. Strain leftover squash water. Remember this is full of nutrients.
9. Pour puree into a bowl and add squash water until desired consistency is reached. Mix well.
10. Scoop puree into ice cube trays.
11. Cover trays with plastic wrap and freeze over night.12. Pour warm water over the bottom of the tray, so cubes will pop out easily.
13. Place cubes in a Labeled and Dated plastic bag. The squash will stay well in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Simple. Easy. Nutritious.
