So, this is an attempt of copying Julie Powell and following the recipes one of my favorite cook/chef (if he is one); the guy from "You suck at cooking" - a YouTube Channel. Also, this blog is dedicated to my dear friend in California, Maria, who pushed me to do this and introduced me to the videos in the first place!
Ok, here it goes. It's not going to be an ordered way of doing things but I am dedicated on writing one blog every week. Although, I kind of started this three months ago but because of a number of reasons, it didn't happen; but now, no more excuses!!!
The first recipe I cooked was Sage Squash (cause it was the ultimate champion) and OMG it was perfect. I followed the recipe to the word. It dates back to the time my friends took me to the Honey Pot Hill orchards in Stow, MA and I saw butternut squashes lying around. Tip: To choose the best butternut squash, just go with your gut cause you're an awesome person and have the ability to choose the best one (Honestly, that was the first time I saw a butternut squash in real life). Ok, so I choose the squash and then pick apples and sh*t and then head back. It took me three weeks after that to cook it! Why you ask? Cause I'm a Class A procrastinator.

THE RECIPE
Ingredients:
1 Awesome Butternut Squash
Fresh Sage Leaves.. Whaaaaaaa
Salt
Pepper pepper pepper
Olive Oil
Cayenne (My addition to the original recipe)
The Process:
Cut the squash in half (harder than you think it is). Then peel it! Yes it is fun!!
Next dice it.
After the dicing process, place them on baking sheet (basically anything that won't break/catch fire in the oven) Oh and preheat the oven to 400F
Now chop the sage leaves and then add them to the diced squash with olive oil, salt, pepper pepper pepper and pinch of cayenne pepper! Put it in the oven for 30 minutes. After that, take it out, WANGJANGLE it and then put it in again for another 2-3 minutes!
Appreciate the taste and eat healthy!!!
This was one of the most relaxed cooking experiences and I really did not have any hacks to tell cause it was nothing more to it than cooking exactly the way it is in the video!
The final thing:
Watch the original video by YSAC and get inspired.
