Tonight marks the the beginning of Rosh Hashanah,
the Jewish New Year!
Typically, instead of wishing people a “happy” New
Year, we wish a “good, sweet and healthy” New Year to each other
and we fill the table with apples (to represent the circle of
life and the year and honey to bring us sweetness).
So here is a sweet and healthy Fall-ish recipe using Fall squash
and honey to start of the year on
a great note–
Honey Glazed Squash
WHAT YOU NEED:
2 squash (butternut, acorn, or sweet potato) sliced in half or chopped into cubes
1 tsp coconut oil per squash
1/2 tsp raw honey per squash
1 tbsp sliced almonds (or cashews, pecans, walnuts, pistachios, macadamia)
1/8 tsp sea salt
*Serves approx 4. all measurements depend on how large your squash is.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Slice open squash and discard any seeds
2. In separate bowl, mix up coconut oil, nuts, honey and sea salt
3. Spoon mixture into/onto your squash
4. Broil on high (covered) for about 20 min until soft.
5. Uncover and cook for a few minutes to brown the nuts.
Voila! Enjoy!
P.S. Sign up for my Fall Cleanse for more healthy recieps (not a juice cleanse- includes food!)
next week- from 9/9 – 9/13: between Rosh Hashanah
and Yom Kippur (and during Fashion Week)!
Perfect time to detox and cleanse:
– Spiritually: it helps you cleanse and start off the New Year on a fresh, naturally sweet
start.
– Physically: cleansing between seasons is a great way for our body to adjust to
the change in temperatures. Also, since most people traditionally fast on Yom Kippur,
Saturday, September 14th (the day after our cleanse ends), the cleanse will
help your body prepare for a day of fasting and restart your system naturally. Also, cleansing will make your skin glow for those Fashion Week parties:)
