Butternut Squash Curry
"I was trying to find a way to have curry and clean out my refridgerator at the same time. This is what I came up with. I froze half of this after a dinner party of 4 people along with another side dish and some pita bread. I'm also writing this down so that I don't forget it. If you want this spicy, substitute the curry powder for 1 tsp green curry paste. Can and package sizes are estimates."

Finally a vegetable dish that is new and different! I didn't use coconut milk since I am not a big fan. I used reglar milk, and put in a teaspoon of vanilla extract. And I used whole wheat spaghetti pasta. And I did add some red pepper flakes for spice. Thanks for this recipe! -
In the true spirit of fridge-cleaning, I did substitute some of the veggies in this: I missed out the cabbage, broccoli, carrots and water chestnuts, and added sweet potato, and also stirred in some spinach at the last minute. I also spiced it up a bit with a few chilli's. Very tasty!

I come from a very Polish family with 5 brothers and a sister. I love to cook just about anything Polish and I'm pretty good at cleaning out the refridgerator and making something worth eating. Just got married on 07/07/07, so I would love to get some Just for 2 dinner menus. Finally enjoying the wonderful California weather. I haven't started baking, but I'm really excited to get back into the contests here.
