vintage veggie abundance bowl

Like leftovers? I do! I do! In fact, sometimes I enjoy leftover vegetable dishes more than when originally made. Part of that may be because I consider leftovers as “vintage” cuisine! The other is because I may spend less time actively cooking. I made this one with extra Seasonal Butternut Squash Hash Browns. So good! Beyond the veggies, I stir hemp seeds into the brown rice to significantly pump up the plant-based protein. And I finish it with a little touch of soft goat-style cashew cheese for a touch of creamy decadence. It’s a complete meal-in-one thanks especially to 26 grams of protein … which can be especially important when not getting enough protein throughout the day. Plus, it’s yum!...

I don’t know about you … but when butternut squash is in season, I love finding ways to include in meals at least a few times a week! So here’s my latest recipe–seasonal butternut squash hash browns. It features this crave-worthy veggie. It’s a colorful and scrumptious twist on hash browns. Make it for breakfast and pair it with plant-based eggs. Think beyond breakfast, too. Serve it as an any day (or Meatless Monday!) side. If you have leftovers, they reheat just fine. Toss with pasta and goat cheese for an intriguing entrée. Or stuff them into tortillas along with refried vegetarian beans and avocado for a seasonal burrito. Enjoy!
