Did you read our coaching last week on butternut squash?
Did it inspire you to pick one up at the store or the farmers’ market?
The season for winter squash is just beginning, so you will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy them over the next few months. While some seasons are just starting, others are wrapping up for us – and we’re feeling all the bittersweet lasts.
On Friday, we shared what might be our last Farmer’s Market Friday segment on Good Morning KAKEland! We talked about the many varieties of winter squash and showed how easy (and delicious!) it is to make the Butternut Squash Fajitas.
Over the past 6+ years of doing cooking demos on KAKE-TV, we have created so many amazing memories. One of our favorites? When we made Egg in the Hole Acorn Squash and the next morning saw Frank, one of our favorite local TV personalities, buying his own acorn squash at the farmers’ market! He posted his “super yummy” results on Facebook the next day. So much fun!
Last weekend was our last Family Weekend at K-State – another special experience. Before that, we visited our parents in Kansas City, enjoying some delicious meals and time together with them. My Dad and I celebrated our birthdays (just two days apart!) and shared one of our favorite meals – Salmon with White Beans, Kale and Honey Mustard Sauce!
Amid all the emotion, we’re also juggling home inspections, appraisals, and packing boxes. Plus, we’re continuing to test and adapt new recipes that Zonya will feature in her Microbiome Reset program that just kicked off. Recipes like the Mango Sunrise Overnight Oats and the Kefir Kickstart Strawberry Smoothie and the Creamy Herb Ranch Dressing (amazing on the Baked Buffalo Cauliflower Salad!). Stay tuned…there’s more to come!

Cozy, Comforting and Stress Free!
After a stressful day (which seems like every day right now), nothing feels better than coming home to a warm, comforting meal that’s ready and waiting for you. We first discovered Congee on our Alaskan cruise last year and had to recreate it at home. This Creamy Slow Cooker Congee is the ultimate stress-free breakfast or dinner, and it is soothing, cozy and nourishing! Just set it and forget it, and let your slow cooker do the work. Trust us, the toppings are the best part!
And that’s not all – we also share our Make Ahead Muesli with kefir, a wholesome breakfast that’s packed with nutrition and keeps you feeling energized all morning long.
Coaching Tip of the Week
The inspiration for the Baked Buffalo Cauliflower Salad and the Creamy Slow Cooker Congee both came from meals we discovered while traveling. They were both so good, we had to find a way to enjoy them at home – and to share them with all of you!
If you have a restaurant meal you frequently crave and would love to recreate it at home – YOU CAN! We provide tips on how to do it. And the best tip of all? Ask us for help – we love the challenge of recreating your favorite meals and making them both delicious and nutritious!
