I still need to finish up my reviews from Vegan Planet from last week's cookbook challenge.
I bought a bag of adzuki beans almost 6 months ago, but I never used them simply because I wasn't sure what to do with them. So I thought it was perfect that Vegan Planet had a recipe for a saute with winter squash and adzuki beans. Against my better judgment, I used a hubbard squash from the farmer's market instead of butternut. I adore anything and everything with butternut squash. I wasn't sure what hubbard tasted like...while it's okay, it lacks that sweet flavour that I adore in butternut. So while this dish was just 'okay,' I think it would have been better if I listened to the author and used butternut.
I also made the polenta chili casserole (without the 'cheese'). We thought this was just alright...we both felt that we would have preferred chili with some cornbread, but that's just how we roll I guess. I based the chili on her 3 bean chili (with a lot of added spice) and it was pretty good.

I can't tear myself away from butternut squash to try anything else. I love it too much. :-)
I made that squash and adzuki recipe last year, and I was surprised that I really liked it. I think it was the mad amount of tamari I added that did it.
