Stuffed carnival squash. Squashes provide some of the best complex carbohydrate in the plant food kingdom, which makes them very satisfying.

Cut the squash in half, take the seeds out, place them face down in a baking dish lined with parchment paper, add about a half an inch of water to the pan, cover with foil, and bake at 350° for about an hour.

These are stuffed with a mixture of peas, green onion, zucchini, walnuts, pine nuts, and spices. The nuts provide nourishing fats. The peas add nutrients and plenty of protein. Zucchini adds moisture, protein, and minerals. Sauté this combination in a saucepan until done. Add salt and spices as desired. Scoop into the cooked squash “bowls.” Top with avocado slices or a little cheese; this dish is very low in fat, so there is leeway to add more!

Try different squashes, and be creative with the stuffing. This makes a wonderful dish for cooler weather. 🍂

Easy and nutritious “wrap” without a traditional wrap (like a tortilla or pita, in case you want to avoid grains).

Chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans) are one of the most satisfying beans because they contain fat – unlike most beans, which are naturally fat free. So you get the complex carbohydrates found in all beans plus the satisfying plant fats that they contain. Add a little relish and vegan mayonnaise, and use lettuce as your “wrap“ with some tomato. 👌🏼🥬🍅🌮

Sweet potatoes (also called yams) are among the most satisfying plant foods. Each variety has a different flavor and texture. They are all rich in complex carbohydrates, minerals, and antioxidants. Bake them. Add them to stews. You can even make them into dessert pies.

These were found at @wheatsville — they always have a nice variety of organic sweet potatoes. 🍠 So does @naturalgrocers and @wholefoods

Nuts are among the most nutritious plant foods. They are dense little packages of nourishment, nutrients, energy, and satisfaction. They are mostly fat, which gives the body sustained energy, feeds the brain, and nourishes the nervous system. They also provide plenty of protein.

Nuts are best eaten raw. When the oils in nuts are heated, they can be damaged and therefore not as nutritious.

You can eat nuts as a nourishing snack or add them to oatmeal, salads, or any meal. 🥣🥗

It may not feel like fall here in central Texas, but it is! 🍂 And it’s winter squash season! 🧡

These beautiful organic squashes are at @wheatsville > and their guide is so helpful! Take a screenshot and keep it for reference. Each squash has a different flavor and texture and can be added to any meal for the most amazing complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy like no other plant foods! The deep orange color in some of these indicates that they are rich in beta carotenes and other antioxidants.

The hardest part is cutting them! 💪🏼😅 But it’s so worth it! And one squash goes a long way, providing many servings or more than one meal! 🙌🏼

Eating fruits and vegetables that are grown locally is such a win/win/win – for our health (produce is more nutritious when freshly harvested), taste (there’s nothing like fully ripened, fresh produce!), and our local economy (supporting our own farmers!). 💚😋👨‍🌾 #eatinseason #thankafarmer
