There's certain foods that I consider a staple in my diet;
This selection is determined by a series of categorical factors
Let's use Kabocha Squash for example
Factor #1: Is this food cheap? Yes, a 3lb Kabocha Squash at Walmart is $2.00-$3.00
BC fresh Kabocha Squash, "Goodness from the ground up"
A seedy inside view
Factor #2: Is it easy to prepare? Yes, prep time is under 5 minutes
and only requires a knife for cutting and a spoon for scooping seeds
Factor #3: How versatile is it? Very versatile because squash can
either be steamed, boiled, baked, or fried and always tastes delicious
Factor #4: Does it mesh well with other foods?
Yes, especially with proteins and green vegetables
Here I cut the Kabocha Squash in half and baked in the oven for 60
minutes at 385F before pairing it with Stir-Fried Vegetables and Shredded
Roast Chicken Breast, and topping with Yellow and Spicy Brown Mustards
Factor #5: Could you eat this everyday? Absolutely!
And thankfully Fall/Autumn is "Squash-Season" so
I can rest assured that there'll be plenty of it in stock
Question: What is your staple food this season?

I'm eating my weight in butternut squash today! I've never tried Kabocha Squash, but I'm on the lookout now...
hey beautiful :) I so agree, squash is a must all year round! I love that you can either eat it savory or sweet or even both, as I like my squash best with cayenne, cumin, cinnamon and a little stevia.
just wanted to stop by and say thank you for leaving a comment on my blog a few weeks ago. this means so much to me and I wanted to let you know, I just published a new post ;)

Yum! This looks amazing! I have to definetly increase my squash intake haha :)
oh this looks delicious!!!!
Squash is definitely one of my staple foods too. I'm actually eating acorn squash right now!
Never tried Kabocha squash but definitely want to now! Love butternut squash and zucchini, though.
P.S. Have the exact same dish as you!
Same here Kelsey! I love me some squashes and well, I have already bought an embarrassing amount! This looks amazing!
That is the prettiest squash dish! I am not normally a huge squash fan... but I may try yours. I love sweet potatoes and pumpkin.
squash, then sweet potatoes, then coconut oil/butter/milk
my staple food is honey nut cheerios. just kididng (kinda). I'm not sure yet, but i bought a bag of blue potatoes at the farmer's market yesterday that I am excited to try out!
My staple is probably apples. I've loved them since I was a kid, and they are such a fall food. Plus they taste awesome dipped in peanut butter.
PS - I nabbed a kabocha, approx. 3lb, for $0.97 at T&T Supermarket last week. Woot!
OMG YUMMY!!!!
This dish looks wonderful!
My staple food has GOT to be butternut squash! BUt, I have been meaning to try kabucha squash for about two years now, and I have no excuses not to finally buy some. This squash creation you have presented here looks amazing! I love the design you made with the cheese.
squash is definitely my staple food of the season ( i even eat kabocha year round, i know, i know, not so seasonal friendly but i love it) i ate so much winter squash last year i started to have a slight orange glow- not too noticeable but definitely there. Your squash dish pictured looks so amazing! i really want to try making it sometime :)
I've still never had kabocha squash. Butternut squash has stolen my heart.. but I need to try some kabocha! Though not seasonal, bananas are always my staple food. ;)
Rice is always a staple in my house :-)
absolutlyyyyyyyy awesme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
