Hey I really love them, I grow and eat so much spaghetti squash as a pasta replacement. Pumpkin muffins with coconut flour are delightful, mashed acorn squash slaps hard!
What's your favorite winter squash
Maybe I'll get downvoted but for culinary purposes they are all interchangeable except for spaghetti squash. If I had to choose, I'd say butternut because Its easiest to peel and most phallic.
spaghet squash is pretty fuckin good tho. is it a vegort? is it a nood? all i know is it go in mouth
Butternut. 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
I don't think I've ever had "winter squash" to be honest. I think I've only had straightneck and crookneck squash (the famous yellow ones) which seem to be spring/summer based.
They're fuckin dank & last forever. Like sit out on the counter for months & months until you finally throw one in the oven and are totally blown away by a drone, game over. Oops, the baddies missed.. Wrong intel, they'll get the right spot next time mahbe.
I think it's the acorn ones we do with some cinammon & maple syrup, they come out so fucking delightful. Squash rules. Total backyard garden staple, once you work em into your cooking you'll be in love. They're sort of like potatoes or something in terms of being a "starch" on the plate except there's tons of choices & a zillion ways to cook em & a bunch to choose from. So easy to grow too
Grew two delicata plants and a rather successful blue hubbard this year. Squash was one of the most fun things to grow I found.
I agree, decorative gourds was my first plant to grow i hope yours are delicious!
Gonna see about snagging some pumpkins after Halloween cuz I think they might be cheap. From there gonna see if I can either freeze or dry for next year. Love pumpkins in soup and wish I can eat it more often. My dog died last week and the backyard feels empty without him. I might see about getting the backyard ready for spring and see if I can grow something there to fill the space up.
Hey there sorry to hear about your pet I've gone through that. Filling up time with activity is great way to work through it.
If you have access some cardboard then putting compost/mulch/dirt ontop will help get it ready if you wanted unsolicited adviceCardboard with compost/mulch/dirt ok thank you. Sorry didn't mean to bring you down still working through some feelings. Gardening will help me look forward to something.
I wish I like spaghetti squash, but the texture just doesn't do it for me. I'd rather have shirataki noodles if I'm going for low calorie pasta replacement.
We are growing acorn squash and pumpkin squash right now.
Our butternut plants died.
Butternut is great and can act like pumpkin or sweet potatoes in a pinch
Ooh yeah of course everyone knows the soup but cubed it is quite versatile
Blasphemy. Spaghetti squash is amazing if you cook it right. Gotta season it and make a sauce. I usually do a lemon sauce
Ingredients 5 eggs 1 cup pumpkin puree ¼ cup coconut oil (or butter, softened) ½ cup coconut flour 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp vanilla extract 1-2 TBSP pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon) ¼ cup honey (or a few drops of stevia extract)
Instructions Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease muffin tins or 8x8 baking dish with coconut oil. A regular loaf pan doesn't work well. Put all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and mix with an immersion blender or strong whisk until smooth and well incorporated. If batter is too thick, add a little coconut milk or water to thin, but don’t let it get runny at all. Scoop into greased muffin tins with a ¼ cup measure or pour into a greased 8x8 baking dish. Bake for 13-18 minutes for muffins or 20-25 minutes for bread until lightly browned and set in middle
I need to eat it more ima be real I didnt realize you didnt have to peel it
