Chili Lime Butternut Squash

There are so many colorful veggies that can be made into pasta.

Some of them like the sweet potato, the zucchini, and even the cucumber can be made into noodles from a simple potato peeler or a turning slicer.

This butternut squash recipe uses a Benriner slicer which has 3 different blades. The one that is a little bit thinner than a fettuccini noodle works nicely for it.

So, go ahead and give it a try and have some pasta fun!

Fresh Pumpkin Hummus

Going straight to the source and gathering fresh ingredients will have our tastebuds celebrating as most chefs will confirm. However, eating fresh food not only increases flavor but also enhances nutrition and connects us with the changing of the seasons. With the availability of food across space and time, many of us have lost touch with the joy of eating fresh food. We are here to promote it in every possible way.

One of the most celebrated seasonal vegetables is the pumpkin which is a type of winter squash. When consumed fresh, it offers an abundance of vitamin A, vitamin C, lutein, potassium, antioxidants, and fiber.
