Wanted to throw together something quick and tasty. I've been going to BJ's a lot lately, and found that their giant bags of fresh vegetables are not only a great value, but tend to hold up fairly well as well. With Wegmans being a good 25minute drive, I don't get there every weekend, so I've started stocking up more often at BJ's. They have a gigantic piece of salmon that is usually around $18, and I bought a huge bag of cubed butternut squash. Makes for a super fast meal!
Sage Roasted Butternut Squash
Cube some fresh butternut squash and throw it on a cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Chop up some fresh sage, or in my case, I had some dried sage from Sandy's garden that I crumbled into the mix. Crack some fresh salt and pepper over it and roast it in the oven at 400 for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so.
Orange Tricolor Couscous
I also get the big container of couscous so we can have a fast rice-like side dish as needed. I follow the package directions, but replace 3/4 of the water with orange juice, and added some thyme into the liquid before it boiled.
Fresh Salmon
We often cook this huge thing of salmon all at once. This time I froze half and cooked half. We added a seafood rub that my dad gave me for Christmas, and just baked it for around 25 minutes.
And the resulting dish! I'm still working on the photography part, but everything was very flavorful and complimented well, and best of all it was fast and simple! Wa-la!
Bon Appetit!
