Microwaveable Squash

It’s true...never would have thought squash could be cooked in a fabric microwave cooker, that is until I tried it.  I just split the delecata squash down it’s length, scooped out the seeds, then microwaved it for 3 minutes or so until the squash flesh inside is tender - then it’s time to eat.  It turns out tender, moist, flavorful and ready to serve in a wink.  You will find these fabric microwave bags through etsy or other online sources.  This cooking method works well for shucked corn on the cob, whole wheat dinner rolls, etc. Healthy eating can be microwave fast...

When I’m not thinking up new ways to use my fabric microwave cooker, I’m sewing fox aprons for my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads . 

Or I’m crocheting upcycled cotton rugs from torn sheet strips for my other shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .  

My daughter’s have an online shop, www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns , where they design and sew cotton sleep shorts with handy cell pocket.

My older daughter has an online shop, www.etsy.com/shop/wildwovenwomen , where she works upcycled yarns into brightly striped knitted afghans.

Delecata Squash Onion Fry Up

The skin on delecata squash are so thin, they’re edible.  Good to know.  This makes fixing them that much less work and adds fiber to my healthy diet.  Take advantage of these perks and serve this side dish along with a slice of beef roast and crisp green salad for dinner tonight.  Your family will love it...my husband approved, too.

1 delecata squash, split, seeded, sliced into 1/4″ thick crescents

1 lg. sweet onion, halved, sliced into crescents

2 T. margarine

dash salt/pepper

In a large fry pan, saute squash and onion in margarine.  Season and enjoy.

When I’m not cruising the selection of Fall squash at my local grocers, I’m sewing vinyl work aprons for my online shop -  www.amazon.com/handmade/TopDrawerThreads or www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads . 

Or I’m pairing chunky upcycled yarns to work into knitted slouch hats for my other shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .

My daughter’s have an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/yesdesigns - where they design and sew knickers as leisure or workout wear.

My older daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/wildwovenwomen - where she knits upcycled yarns into brightly colored warm winter scarves.

My younger daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/shroombloombags - where she works fine cotton threads into crocheted mushroom garlands.
