\"\"<\/a>Today’s book sneak peek tip is Butternut Squash… only\u00a090<\/strong> days until the book release!<\/div>\n
===<\/div>\n

BUTTERNUT SQUASH<\/h1>\n
While trying to find some new fruits to integrate into my diet regime, I came across the butternut squash; this is just one of the many varieties of the winter squash family. \u00a0I instantly recognized the name because I\u2019ve seen it popping up more and more often in soups at restaurants.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>One cup of this squash is less than 80 calories and it\u2019s packed with Vitamins A and C, many B vitamins, potassium, fiber, and even includes some of those much sought after Omega 3\u2019s. \u00a0Depending on your appetite, this is something that could be eaten as an entire meal, as a great side dish, or as a simple snack.<\/p>\n

I picked one up at my local grocer that had a tag on it with simple instructions: wash, halve, wrap and microwave until soft (4 to 6 minutes). \u00a0Talk about easy! \u00a0Butternut squash has a natural sweetness to it, and you can enhance this by adding a little brown sugar, butter, or salt. \u00a0Be sure not to go over-board with the additions, however, or you\u2019ll lose its low calorie benefit!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
