RECIPE: Easy Butternut Squash Hash Browns

Best Blogger Tips
[Print this Recipe]

My husband works a lot.  I mean, A LOT.  "Seventy hours per week a lot."

Most of the time, I'm home taking care of our sons by myself.  It can be kind of crazy.

There are always things I don't get done.  I think to myself, I wouldn't be so far behind if my husband was home to help with the boys. 

Except when he is home, I get even less done. 

I just want to spend time with my whole family.

So, I needed some fast food.  Since we are mostly eating a plant-based vegan diet now, there wasn't anything we could get at a drive-thru.  Instead, I came up with this quick meal.

I started with two bags of fresh, diced butternut squash.  I opened the packages and baked them on a greased baking sheet with some salt and pepper.  I added them to some Amy's veggie burger patties on homemade whole wheat bread with sliced tomato and fresh spinach.

This is cool for me, because it is gluten free and I am a celiac. Thanks for the idea!

I'm glad you found something new! I didn't intend it to be GF. : ) I have a sister and a cousin, both with celiac (my grandmother had lupus). Being diagnosed gave them their lives back!

I haven't seen a butternut squash around these parts in ages, but when I do I'll give this a whirl!

(BTW, I always label gluten free things, even if it is incidental and not a "wheat thing made into a gluten free thing." People who need gluten free recipe ideas often use that search term as a default. You might consider sharing this recipe with a link-up on Wednesdays at http://glutenfreehomemaker.com/ )
