@ToyLady – No. I didn’t know you could roast the seeds. I’ll make sure not to toss them out. Thanks for sharing and thanks for stopping by.

@April – I was afraid the photo of the Salisbury steak would gross people out. Glad you didn’t immediately hit your browser’s back button. By the way, congratulations on the new baby as well as on quitting your job.

@Ashley – I’ll finally get a chance to use my Vita-Mix for food preparation. So far, I’ve only made smoothies with it.

Good point about the squash seeds @ToyLady. It’s a gift that keeps on giving! Hope you like the soup Shawanda I’d suggest using a blender or food processor.

We love both butternut and chard; well, I do, anyway – my husband tolerates them pretty well, though! (Which is fortunate for him, because I still have a ton of swiss chard in the garden! I will definitely try your chard & potato recipe!)

I picked up about a half bushel of butternut a couple of weeks ago at the farmer’s market, and we enjoyed butternut soup last week. Now I’m slowly working on roasting them and putting them in the freezer pre-cooked. Also, you do know that you can roast butternut squash (and others) just like pumpkin seeds, right? Such a great snack!

@Money Funk – Done. I heard about Menu Plan Monday from Frugal Coast2Coast (one of the podcasts I recommended on your site). Laura was a guest on the show. I feel empowered knowing what I’m going to eat.

@Rona – Thanks. I’m hoping all of it tastes as good as it sounds. I guess that’ll depend greatly on my abilities in the kitchen.

Arroz con Pollo, love this dish. I want to try the swiss chard & potato recipe – I have yet to cook with swiss chard, too. Need some linkage or more recipe ideas, try Menu Plan Monday at Orgjunkie.

Thanks for new recipes – I need to spice up my dinner meals.
