So in part 1, I was stuffin them, and now in part 2, I’ve cooked them!

I cooked them slowly in the oven for about 35-40 minutes.

I LOVE butternut squash; as a soup, as a stuffing, puree and even whole… well in cooked yummy cubes of course, you name it, I’m down. It has a delicate and buttery taste that I just can’t seem to get enough of! So with our recent weather change, it only seemed right that I pull out an old winter favorite!

ps: The butternut squash mash was the PERFECT companion for this chicken!

Some butternut trivia!

Rich in phytonutrients AND antioxidants

Low in fat with lots of fibre

Significant amounts of potassium (good for bone health)

Contains vitamin B6, essential for the proper functioning of both the nervous and immune systems.

So, next time you wanna have mash potatoes, try having mash butternut squash, it’s to die for! Less fattening, with MUCH MUCH MORE flavour!

*love love love*

ps: Make sure you pick an unblemished fruit that feels heavy for its size, with a matte and NOT a glossy skin. (Glossy skin means the fruit was picked too early and isn’t AS sweet!)

“Like the rest of the body, to keep our feet healthy, they need to be stimulated and exercised.”–Vibram FiveFingers

Dear Vibram FiveFingers, I believe your footwear and I were destined to be together. I’m a jump rope fanatic, and I can’t find any shoes that are comfortable enough… these would be PERFECT!

love Bella

After “recovering” from a severe pinky toe fracture on my right foot a couple years ago (while running away from my sister with a pan of shrimp ha ha ha), I noticed that regular tasks done with my feet weren’t quite the same anymore, for example, my balance was all wonky and when I worked out, I put more pressure on the other foot without even realizing it… it doesn’t sound so bad, except for the fact that I’m slowly fuc…damaging my other foot by doing so. You can imagine my horror, when I injured my left foot, and fractured my big toe, working out was about to get EVEN MORE complicated… Truth is after my injuries, regular running shoes KILL my feet, so when I saw these my heart skipped a beat… Vibram FiveFingers footwear, I believe they made these for people like me who seem prone to foot injuries! I think I may have finally found the solution to my i-can’t-seem-to-find-good-work-out-shoes problem. Work out shoes that fit like a glove… brilliant!
