Moving to a new city is a huge decision that can change anyone’s life and that of their family. One common reason why people relocate is the pursuit of education. If you get accepted to a graduate or undergraduate program at your dream university or college, you will want to move to the city where your school is. Another common reason is for better job opportunities and career advancement. The desire to find jobs with more challenging roles, better benefits, or higher salaries can significantly affect anyone’s decision to relocate. People also move for promotions within their organizations because climbing up the corporate ladder might require relocating to new divisions or branches. (more…)

Fall is in full swing, and the local stores and farmer’s markets are overflowing with vibrant squashes! These beauties are not just eye-catching; they’re also incredibly delicious. To showcase both their taste and their appearance, try making a stunning buttercup squash party dip. After all, if you’re going to take the time to slice open one of these unique gourds, why not let it be the star of the show?

Use the hollowed-out squash itself as a serving vessel for your creamy dip, and enjoy it with your favorite breads and veggies.

You will need:

• 1 Buttercup Squash – or other equally beautiful edible fleshy squash. Try to choose one that would also make a creative container.
• 1-1/2 Cups Sour Cream or Greek Non-Fat Yogurt
• 1/2 Teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1-2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/2 Cup Parmesan
• 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Powder

How to Prepare:

Wash and dry squash

Carefully cut in half. Scrape out seeds (keep seeds if you’d like to toast the seeds later!)

Drizzle quality olive oil over the top part and cut out as much squash flesh as you can from the bottom part while maintaining the ‘bowl’ integrity. Do not cook hollowed bottom part – put aside for later.

Roast top and other squash chunks at 400 degrees for 40 minutes.

Let squash cool a bit so you can touch it and then scrape away squash removing any skin.

Blend with spices and 1/2 cup parmesan. The parmesan will melt because the squash will still be hot. Then whip in  1-1/2 cups of sour cream. If you have herb salts, sprinkle some on top.

Fill bottom hollowed out squash and serve with crusty bread, interesting chips/crackers and firm sliced vegetables.

Enjoy!
