Tumeric
I read an article today about the great health benefits of tumeric. Apparently researchers are finding that compounds in tumeric aid in cancer fighting.
Here is a copy of an article about this from the American Cancer Society.
So this evening I worked tumeric into our dinner plans and it turned out quite well. This is my recipe:
Baked Butternut Squash
1 butternut squash peeled and cubed
2 teaspoons tumeric
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, mix the tumeric, olive oil, and black pepper. Add the butternut squash and toss well with the tumeric mix. Spread the squash on a baking sheet. Scrape any remaining tumeric mixture over the top of the squash. Bake uncovered in the oven for about 50 minutes until squash is tender. Serve hot.
