🍲COOK WITH ME IN REAL TIME!🍲
You may have noticed I’ve been doing a few Live Classes lately on Instagram and Facebook…it’s my way of helping you stay well in these uncertain days of physical distancing and self-isolation.
I’ve decided to call these classes “Tosca at Home”. It works! I’m home. You’re home.
Throughout the week I’m covering all 3 of the 3 E’s of Wellness to ensure all aspects of your wellness are being supported (Eating Clean, Exercise, and Emotional Self-care). To find more of these past classes, visit my Tosca at Home Resource Page. You’ll also find all the links to my incredibly affordable special pricing on all my programs including Strike Sugar, FitCommit and the 3Es of Wellness Blueprint.
This class is all about cooking with squash. It’s a very versatile food and lends itself perfectly to the times we are living in – it’s economical and has a long shelf life.
Here’s what you’ll need to follow along with me:
✅1 in-season firm squash such as; kabocha, butternut, acorn or spaghetti squash
✅Baking sheet
✅Parchment paper
✅Olive oil
✅Coarse salt
✅Black pepper
The two recipes that I’m making can be found below this video.
