BUTTERNUT SQUASH MAC & CHEESE CHICKEN PASTA - Food Photo Shoot

gringalicious (78) in food • 8 years ago (edited)

Happy Thursday Steemians!!

How about an easy dish for this evening's dinner?

Who doesn't love mac and cheese, I mean c'mon?

Sidenote: Today is my little sister's (one of them) birthday, she's turning 19. I am trying really hard to get her on to steemit. Throw some encouragement her by leaving me some comments, please.

Being back in the states for a visit, I continue to be amazed at the availability of vegetables.

Where we live in Chile, everything is seasonal. So, for example, if you want fresh raspberries, you only have a 2.5 month window in the summer to get them. Otherwise, you are stuck with frozen. Here in the states, it matters not what season it is, it is always available.

A few years ago I tried adding pumpkin into a cheese sauce and was so surprised by how much I loved it. I think you'll love it too.

As always, the RECIPE is available upon request. I had someone leave me a comment saying they avoided my posts because I don't include the recipe. I don't understand that, but if you want the recipe, it's as easy as hitting that 'reply' button and asking. I always upvote the first request.

ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST.

Don't miss my travel series, I think you'll love the photos:

And of course, don't miss out on my recent food posts:

AND A HUGE MASSIVE SHOUT OUT TO@rigaronib for designing my logo!!!!

I am always open to feedback, and would love to know how you feel I could do better and please do not forget to

Don't discard the butternut seeds, dry roasted they are lovely with a hint of popcorn taste to them. Full of zinc and healthy fats too I believe.

It really would be a quick and easy recipe. Here in Canada we have a Kraft Dinner in a box with elbow noodles, this might be a nice compliment adding the chicken to our beloved KD. Thanks

Love it! Never would have thought to add pumpkin into a cheese sauce. I'll have to try it. I would love to experience living seasonally. I think it's great that you have that back home. In a lot of ways it's healthier and environmentally much more sustainable. Thanks for the recipe!
