DAY 45 THIS ALKALINE YEAR: Tough Squash

DAY 45 This Alkaline Year  Tough Squash


Do you have difficulty cutting squash before baking them?  The array in our supermarket is splendid, but I didn’t take advantage of it for a long time because the darn things were hard to cut up.  Then a friend gave me her secret: zap them for 30 seconds in the microwave.  Softens up the toughest ones, or even pumpkins, so they can be cut into baking-sized pieces.


Winter squash are the most alkaline: Hubbard, summer, and zucchini squash are all moderately alkaline.  After baking, I often place them in the blender with spices, a little vegetable broth or, better still, coconut milk, and make a warm soup for cold evenings.  Nutmeg, cinnamon, and garam masala are my favorite spices for these tasty vegetables, also for yam soup.
