I did some digging around online and found a recipe I wanted to try. Of course, I can't ever really follow a recipe to the T, so I improvised. It was fabulous! Even my 9 year old daughter ate her serving without the usual eye rolling and pushing of the food around with her fork, like that will make it disappear or something. She told me she actually *gasp* liked it!
I shall share the recipe here because if I don't have it written down somewhere I'll forget what I did right. First I have to name it, huh? I suck at coming up with jazzy names so I'll just call it Acorn Squash Concoction!
1 medium sized acorn squash - peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
1 medium sized sweet potato - peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
1 small yellow onion (you could use a shallot instead - yum!) julienned
1 red bell pepper - diced
3 springs of fresh sage - finely chopped
Kale - ripped into pieces
Garlic powder - to taste (about 2 tsp is good)
Salt and pepper to taste
Take a large skillet and add enough extra virgin olive oil to cover the bottom. Heat the skillet and oil on medium heat. Add sweet potato and acorn squash and mix until well coated with the oil. Stir occasionally for about 10 minutes. Once they start to get fork tender add in the onion and bell pepper. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix all ingredients well. Once the squash and potato are fork tender add the sage and the kale. Reduce heat to low and when the kale starts to wilt the dish is ready.
My family loved this dish! YAY ME! It's always good when I experiment on them with new dishes and they're successful.
