Mashed Butternut Squash and Sprinkles!

I am getting stressed. We have to move out in a week and I have so much to study it's insane. I cannot wait until my last final is over and we can enjoy our new place!!!

This past week flew by and I have a lot of yummy food pictures to share.

First up, mashed butternut squash. I grabbed a container of pre-cut butternut squash at Whole Foods to make the process 10x easier.

I put all of the cubes in a boiling pot of water for about 35 minutes to make sure they were totally soft.

I then mashed up all of the cubes, added 1 Tbsp of olive oil and about 1/2 cup of coconut/almond milk and mixed it all up. And that's it! Super easy and they were awesome. I had them for dinner with salmon and asparagus and then again the next day on a tuna salad.

I added some garam masala on top of the squash for lunch which gave it a kick! Garam masala is this new spice I got, it's a mixture of coriander, green&black cardamon, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves, nutmeg, ginger, pepper, and cumin. I just saw the word cinnamon and knew I'd like it. 

Saturday night was date night as usual! Cort and I headed to Beverly Hills to have dinner at a french bistro called Bouchon. The restaurant was really pretty and I loved that they gave us pistachios to snack on while we waited for our meal.

 However, I was pretty bummed with my dish, it tasted good but it was super plain and I'm all about creativity.

See what I mean? And the whole head on the fish thing was definitely freaking me out. But the fish itself was cooked perfectly so I can't complain! 

Cort ordered the escargot which is his absolute favorite so he was a happy camper. 

I couldn't get over the little puff pastries on top, too cute!

=)

So naturally we couldn't leave Beverly Hills without making a stop at Sprinkles. It was about a half mile away and it felt really nice to take a walk after dinner. 

Sprinkles Ice Cream is so cute inside and their flavors are delicious. We both went with a double scoop of the red velvet. 

Oh yeah and right outside there was a "Cupcake ATM". This just cracks me up. 

Okay well I am off to study Anthropology and Drugs and Ergogenic Aids in Sport and Weight Control, sounds super interesting right? Summer where are you?!?
