Description

Delicious Creamy Butternut Squash that you could dip anything into.  So smooth, a little sweet, and addicting.


Ingredients

Scale

Butternut Squash Hummus Ingredients:

  • 1 butternut squash, cut in half lengthwise, seeds and pulp removed
  • 10 scallions, ends removed
  • 1 cup chopped roasted cashews
  • honey
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper

Roasted Vegetables Ingredients:

  • two broccoli heads, cut into small florets
  • 1 zucchini
  • 2 large carrots
  • 1 sweet potato
  • olive oil
  • 1 lemon
  • salt
  • pepper
  • garlic powder

Blackened Chicken Strips:

  • 1 chicken breast
  • avocado oil
  • blackened seasoning

Instructions

Butternut Squash Hummus Steps:

  1. Drizzle your cut butternut squash with olive oil and honey then sprinkle with salt and pepper. make sure to give the squash a nice massage to make sure all of the ingredients are coated it. Bake face side down on a sheet tray covered in tinfoil or parchment paper at 350 for 1 hour.
  2. While that is baking, use a grill pan or regular pan to grill your scallions for 2-5 minutes until they have a nice char on them then set aside.
  3. Add one cup of roasted cashews to a food processor or blender, then drizzle in olive oil until it creates a peanut butter like texture.  Once done, scrape this into a bowl and set aside.
  4. Once the squash is done baking, add the roasted squash to the bowl you put the cashew mixture in and include the delicious honey and olive that is leftover in the squash and tray. Chop up the charred scallions and add those to the bowl.  Squeeze in half of a lemon and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Give this a nice mix and then add to a blender or food processor.  Drizzle in olive oil until the mixture starts to blend.  This will be finished when its a smooth silky texture. TIP: this took a bit to get a nice blend going.  Make sure to stop a few times to give it a nice mix with a spatula and to make sure the olive oil was incorporated.  Just continue to drizzle in olive oil until a nice puree forms.

Roasted Veggies Steps:

  1. Start by cutting your broccoli into florets then set aside.  Cut your zucchini in half then cut into thirds length wise. Peel your sweet potato and cut into strips lengthwise then cut into pieces.  Peel your carrots then cut in half and into thirds (use picture as reference for how the veggies should look)
  2. Add all of the veggies to a large sheet tray and drizzle with olive oil then sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder. squeeze half of the lemon over the veggies.  Mix up then bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
  3. Take out of the oven to toss the veggies then bake an additional 15-30 minutes until the vegetables start to get a little crispy.

Blackened Chicken Strips Steps:

  1. Start off by butterflying your chicken breast then season nicely with a blackening spice mix of your choice.
  2. Get a pan or grill pan on medium high heat.  Once hot, drizzle in some Avocado oil then sear for 5 minutes each side.  Make sure chicken is cooked to 165 degrees then remove from pan.
  3. Let rest for 5-10 minutes then slice into strips.

Here’s what you should do with leftover vegetables or vegetables in general. Make a vegetable Frittata that will put a big smile right on that sexy face of yours.

Usual plan of attack:
12 inch non stick pan (I use @madein)
8 eggs, beaten
Handful of shredded cheddar
Handful of Parmigiano Reggiano
1/4 sweet onion diced

Vegetables: use what you have. Tip is to sauté one at a time to ensure proper browning and to make sure you don’t have extra liquid from the vegetables in the pan when you add in the eggs.

Use meat of your choice. Bacon or ham would be delicious as well. 

Add in eggs and swirl a bit so that it’s incorporated into the vegetables but don’t cook them. Throw the pan in the oven at 375 for 20-30 min after topping with the cheese.

EASY CHICKEN NACHOS RECIPE 🍗 🧀 

I partnered up with @goodfoods to bring you these delicious chicken nachos topped with their tasty guacamole that will be perfect for the Superbowl!  We use a rotisserie chicken so it comes together in no time and the homemade pickled onions and jalapeno take these nachos over the top!  You can’t skimp on the delicious good foods guacamole that ties it all together!  Hope you guys enjoy and have a great Superbowl!

RECIPE:

INGREDIENTS:

1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
Big bag of tortilla chips
15 oz jar of salsa
@goodfoods guacamole
1 lb cheddar cheese, shredded
1 lb Monterey jack cheese, shredded
Can of black olives, sliced
1 roma tomatoes, diced
Sour cream
Green onion, sliced

Pickled Onion and Jalapeno Ingredients:

2 jalapeños, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp salt, diamond kosher
1/2 tsp black peppercorn

STEPS:

Start off by shredding the rotisserie chicken and add to a bowl.  Pour salsa over chicken and toss so that all of the chicken is coated with the salsa.  Shred both cheeses and mix up in a bowl.

Grab a cast iron pan or sheet tray and do a nice layer of the chips.  Add on a nice layer of the cheese and then the chicken.  Repeat until you get to the top of the pan.  Bake at 350 for 7-10 minutes.  You want the cheese to get nice and melted.  I like to finish over a broiler set to high for 1-2 minutes. 

Top the nachos with some pickled onion, pickled jalapeño, scallion, tomato, black olive, sour cream, and some healthy dollops of good foods guacamole.

Pickled Onion and Jalapeño Steps:

Grab a small sauce pan and add in the vinegar, water, salt, peppercorn, and honey.  Bring to a simmer.  Add the sliced jalapeño and onion to an air tight container and pour over the pickling liquid once simmering.  Add to the fridge for a few hours, shaking a few times.

Make this Homemade Gyro Pita Bite with @goodfoods Feta Cucumber Tzatziki dip for your next Holiday party!

This is such a fun appetizer that will be something different at the table! I love the layers of flavor you get from the crunchy pita, crispy gyro, tomato, and delicious @goodfoods Tzatziki dip. Check out the recipe below and hope you enjoy!  Happy Holidays!

Gyro Meat:

1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground lamb
1 red onion, roughly chopped
6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 tbsp salt
2 tsp oregano
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp cinnamon

Pita and Toppings:
@goodfoods Feta Cucumber Tzatziki Dip
pkg of small pita, cut in half
2 vine ripened tomatoes, thinly sliced
olive oil
salt
garlic powder

STEPS:

Add your roughly chopped onion and garlic to a food processor and pulse until it’s finely chopped. Add to paper towels to squeeze out the moisture. Set aside.
Add the lamb and ground beef to a bowl and throw the seasonings in.  Mix up and add to the food processor to pulse.  You want this to be a smooth consistency. Add in the onion mixture and pulse again.
Grab a 8x8 baking dish or bread loaf dish.  Grease and add in the gyro meat and push down so it’s an even layer.  Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes.  You want this to have an internal temp of 160.  Let fully cool before slicing.
Slice gyro into thin pieces and pan sear in some olive oil for 1-2 minutes per side to get each side crispy. 

Slice your pita bread in half and add pieces to a baking sheet.  Drizzle with Olive oil and season with salt and garlic powder on both sides.  Ensure both sides are coated in the olive oil. Bake at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.  Flip and bake for another 2-3 minutes until they start to get a little crispy and browned.

Add a nice layer of the @goodfoods Tzatziki dip on the bottom of the pita.  Top with a tomato slice and a gyro slice. Drizzle on a little more Tzatziki on top then enjoy!
