Thursday Night=Vegetarian Night

Hutch and I have put together a food item for each day of the week. This is to help us think of things to make for dinner and to help us be healthier. Monday is chicken, Tuesday is pasta, Wednesday is fish, Thursday is vegetarian and Friday and Saturday are open to anything. We usually have Sunday dinners at one of our parents house.

Thursday is vegetarian day and I tried a new recipe. I get the Womens Day magazine and it always has fun recipes that I say I'll make but don't actually do it. I finally did. It's called Rustic Butternut Squash Tart. It was very good. Here's a picture:
It's butter-nut squash, red onions, sharp cheddar, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. When I made it I added zucchini and mozarella cheese. I didn't have sharp cheddar. You mix all of those ingredients together and put it in a pie crust. It says to roll the crust out to 14 inches but I couldn't find my rolling pin so it was about 9 inches or a bit bigger. (used a pre-paid crust). Put it all in the center and fold the edges over, then brush egg around it and cooked it in a 400 degree oven for about 25 minutes. We both really liked it. I have left over stuff so we'll probably make it again in a few days.
