While my coworker Tara Dickerson and I have both been working on combining healthy eating habits with exercise for the past several months, we’ve recently joined forces and embarked on some fitness adventures together. In addition to getting together to exercise, we’ve been teaming up to cook nutritious meals, and try some new recipes. One evening we had a snack night and made guacamole from scratch, which I had done before, but this was a new recipe. I was worried the whole dip would be botched when we discov ered the avocados I’d picked out were too hard. Fortunately Tara had some kind of masher that was much more effective than a fork. It ended up being a tasty creation we were extremely proud of. Most recently we made our own black bean veggie burgers. I had never had these homemade, and the last time I’d eaten a restaurant veggie burger was several years ago, and I was unimpressed. How ever, I thought the ones we made were delicious. The real intrigue of that night’s meal for me was the dessert - squash pudding. When Tara first mentioned it to me I thought the dish would be somewhat savory. But when I learned that the ingredients included vanilla extract, sugar and a topping of ice cream or cool whip, I couldn’t help but be amused. Who ever heard of squash for dessert? GRErS MATTER GREY PENTECOST I love corn pudding, but in my mind this was taking it to another level. I enjoy (sometimes deviously) introducing people to new, slightly unusual, foods. However, this time I was excited to be on the other end of the venture. While Tara tried to bring to mind all the ingredients and mea surements called for in her grandmother’s recipe, we made some substitutions and worked to bring about the desired flavor. By the time we were done we’d added enough natural sugar substitute, along with a bit of real sugar, to keep an ant happy for years. Fur thermore, the bowl of creamy squash had so much vanilla extract in it the smell of vanilla flooded the kitchen. Nonetheless it was a success, and we both enjoyed heaping bowl fuls. Once Tara gets the exact recipe I hope to add it to my collec tion. I think between the two of us, we’ll be able to come up with many more fun tools for healthy living.
