Butternut squash fries


So - who knew about all these vegetables before???

Not me ...

Now, I walk through the produce aisle, searching for new veggies, google how to cook them and then try and often fail ...

This was my first success with butternut squash and the boy ..

It looks like sweet potato so I cut it into fry shapes and baked it the same was I do fries. He ate a plateful of these when I called them sweet potato fries  but when I gave him baked butternut squash, he was having none of that ..

Go figure ...

Dinner was these fries, cauliflower, raw cheese and then a pear. He did not eat his beef today and that was fine with me ...

I am still in utter shock that his right premolar is a white tooth now ... I keep staring into his mouth at every chance I get ... stare and stare in amazement .. if often catches food so does not look white very often but all the same I stare at it ...

I told him that he was doing such a good job with his teeth today and he smiled at me so proudly ...

A is now confident that the left premolar will lose it's black spot .. I near fell off my chair when he made that declaration .... what???? My husband, who fought me long and hard on this voodoo bullshit now claiming that in 2 months the left premolar will be a white tooth ..

Too much shock for 2 days ...

In other news, L loves lentils and I like them too. But they have phytic acid, so I sprouted them to the point some started getting secondary roots ... 

Then I made it into Indian Rajma with whole spices, cinnamon, pepper corns, cloves, cardamom pods. I skipped the tomato and onion. I make it into a soup with whole raw milk and bone broth and serve with raw cheese ... HE LOVES IT. For dessert he gets sweet potato bread with a sparing smear of jelly and brown cheese.

I will try cauliflower bread today .. I ground it


Baked cauliflower mash
  Here is baked celeriac


Will post an update on how the bread turns out. I made a powder of sprouted dried lentils
