Fresh Recipe: Stuffed Carnival Squash

Carnival Squash is a hybrid of the sweet dumpling and acorn squash. It usually has a cream-colored background covered with stripes and speckles of green and orange. The price point is low and when roasted or steamed it has a buttery, almost maple syrup-like flavor to it. Full of potassium, Vitamins A & C, folate and omega-6 fatty acids this is a squash you should definitely try. Eat it solo with a little olive oil and brown sugar, or stuff it like the recipe below. Either way, I promise you will love it.

Prepare quinoa in the Tupperware® Microwave Rice Maker according to the directions in the product insert (1/2 cup quinoa, 1 cups water. Microwave on high power for 5 min and let stand 15 minutes. Allow to cool and fluff with a serving spoon.
Drizzle the flesh of each squash half with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt, and lay the flesh side down in the Smart MultiCooker. Fill water in the water tray and cook until tender when pricked with a fork, 15-20 minutes.
Remove MultiCooker from Microwave when done and put greens into the colander insert. Place in MultiCooker and Cover to Steam while you prep filling.
Cut chorizo in half lengthwise and cook in MicroPro Grill for 3-5 mins (depending on your preference). Dice the apple into small cubes and place them in medium mixing bowl along with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the chorizo (cut or crumbled), quinoa, greens and half the cheese.
Scoop the filling into the cavity of each squash half, piling it into a mountain so that it holds as much as possible. Sprinkle with remaining cheese

Fresh Recipe: Zoodles with Peanut Sauce

Today for Fresh Tip Tuesday we made Zoodles with a Peanut Sauce. Zucchini is one of my favorite summer food since it contains zero fat, and is high in water and fiber. It also contains significant amounts of vitamins B6, riboflavin, folate, C, and K, and other minerals. I love ethic foods and in particular today, Thai Noodles with a peanut sauce. This is a healthy twist that I know your family will love. Watch the clip, try it out and let me know what you think.
