Baby Got Back
“I like butternut butts and I cannot lie…
You other bloggies can’t deny
When a squash walks in with a little bitty waist and a round thang in yo face
I make FRIES” 🙂
You should have seen the dance that went along with that one 😉
How’s your day going?? I loved, loved, LOVED reading your comments to this morning’s post. Thank you so much to those of you who contributed to the convo and hi (!) to all of the new friends who stopped by.
My day off was pretty glorious.
I napped on the couch for two hours with the puppers (Scamp slept on top of my head), went to the library, got the car washed, groceries, chilled.
I also ate the above fries salad-style: 
along with a Daiya cheese crisp (on brown rice tortilla)
and one of yesterday’s vegan cookies 🙂
I also cut open a pomegranate that my auntie bought so we could make cocktails snack on it:
It definitely made me reminiscent of last year’s POM adventures! Dare I say I’m even MORE excited about poms than pumpkin?? 🙂
Dinner is also ready and waiting for the fam to come home and for me to munch after Dance Trance.
Guess the recipe??? I’ve made it a few times before 🙂
See ya in the morning with a giveaway!
xoxo
Gina

The beginning of this post made my night. Ha! I definitely giggled. 🙂
you are AWESOME with the butternut butt song…i think we need a video of the dance! 🙂
Love it! 🙂
Butternut squash fries are my new favorite, they put up a good competition against sweet potato fries!! I usually slice them thinner like fries, but I think I’ll try them thicker like wedges next time b/c they are a little soft the way I normally do them. I’ve also been using the broiler for about 3 min after they’re mostly done trying to crisp them, but its just not working.
BTW: I’ve been following your Summer Shape Up 2009, loving it!! But looking ahead, there’s no link for Week 9, nor instructions to repeat a prior week. What is the plan for that week? I’m starting week 5. I feel like I have my own personal trainer b/c you developed this and I pretend that I have Jillian Michaels and Jackie Warner in the room with me when I’m working out!! haha
Keep up the great work and food posts! 🙂
PS: I would subscribe to follow you, but as you know the link is broken. I don’t even know what “subscribing” does, I’ve never followed a blog until yours! But I feel like subscribing is something I’m supposed to do…?
1. I love that song and b-nut squash fries. 😉
2. CONGRATS on winning the Nature’s Pride Sponsorship. It’s such a fun experience!! I can’t wait to try your shrooms.
Please post a video of the dance 🙂
Congrats on the sponsorship!
I think you made the quinoa casserole thingy from Eat Drink and Be Vegan.
What do I win??? LOL
you win!
hahah wish i had a prize for you!
What do you use to slice a butternut squash so perfectly for fries?!?! Those things are so hard to cut, mine looks butchered (in a bad way) by the time I’m done!
pampered chef crinkle cutter 🙂
Congratulations on the Nature’s Pride Sponsorship!
You are HILARIOUS with those poms!! LOL
Congrats on the sponsorship chicka!
hahaha!! The beginning of this post made me laugh with the song 😛 Those fries look awesome!! I love all veggies in fry form 😉
So excited to see you at the Foodbuzz Fest.
The butternut squash fries sound amazing. I love how they are cut! Too cute.
excited to see you too!
Congrats on being an ambassador! Loved the butternut song- so funny. I wonder what dinner is!! Looks like it smells really good.
I think thats the Confeffti casserole thing from eat drink and be vegan? I’ve made it before, and it looked similar to that picture, so I’m throwing that guess out there 🙂
Congrats on Foodbuzz Fest!!
Never did I think that Sir Mix-A-Lot’s hit song would be remixed with a butternut squash – I LOVE IT 😀
Major congratulations on your ambassador status!!!
LOL I am cracking up at your song. Not too mention, the fries look super yummy. Congrats on being an ambassador!!! That is awesome!!!
now I have that song in my head !! 😀 you are too funny.
CONGRATS on the FB Fest !!
Love butternut squash! =)
Gina, I just tried out your pancakes for dinner (the ones from your last post). OMG!! They are so good. They actually taste like pancakes! Usually, with protein powders they’re gross, but these were so good! THanks so much! =)
i’m so glad you liked them! they’re my fave 🙂
Best replica of that song, ever.
Make me some butt fries?! 😛
Congrats on the Foodbuzz! very cool 🙂
Whatever you’re makin’ looks scrumptious =)

Loved the beginning of this post, seriously snorted while reading it 😉
Love the song! It has inspired me to try making some of my own 🙂
Best opening to a post. Ever. I’ll never look at butternut squash the same way!
How do you make your butternut squash fries?? They look delicous, and I have a squash from my CSA screaming to be used! -Beth
cook on a cookie sheet with evoo, sea salt, pepper at 375 for 30-45 min 🙂
Hi “neighbor.” I’m about an hour east of you in Melbourne. Is your hubby stationed out of Patrick by any chance? Would love to meet up with you if you ever get over to this area!
nope, he’s not stationed in patrick! let me know if you’re ever in orlando
Will do! I would love to try Dance Trance but not sure I could do that drive on a work night!
Love the song 🙂
Hahahaha! I loved your little song.. i had to sing it to my husband to.. Congrats on the sponsorship! you totally deserve it!
This song made my evening 🙂 I wish I could master the art of butternut fries, any tips on cutting that beast?
i use a pampered chef crinkle cutter- makes it super easy
Hahahaha – loved this post!
I love this song… and I’m obviously obsessed about squashes 😀
That song is such a classic. hehehe! Love it!!
cute post!
Loved the song! I could hear the music in my head while I read! This month I am doing a veggie challenge on my blog and I think squash fries will be on my list for next week! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Congratulations on the being an ambassador at the FoodBuzz Festival! You definitely deserve it Gina (:
love butternit fries! I like how you cut yours.
Congrats on your Success!! 🙂
I can just picture you dancing and singing, lol! Love it!
Congrats on being an Ambassador! That sounds like a big title, way to go!!!
The Poms vs. Pumpkins? I’d pick Poms anyday too!
Your fries look like a work of art…holy hand strength b/c raw sweet taters are like cutting thru concrete for me!
Have a great nite 🙂
Congratulations on being an ambassador! 😀
I haven’t actually tried butternut squash fries! Shame on me… I know. I love homemade sweet potato fries so technically, I know that I should try them with butternut squash. I guess it doesn’t help that the look of them freaks me out, haha.. Congratulations on becoming an ambassador! That is so exciting!!
LOL! Your posts never cease to make me laugh. Just what I need first thing in the morning…
The beginning of this post totally made me LOL. It reminded me of a high school chemistry assignment where my friend and I changed around that song to make it into a rap about chlorine haha. 😛
Ahhhh the beginning of this post is so cute! hahaha Love it!
Congrats on the Foodbuzz Ambassador announcement Gina! PS. love the photo of you with the POMs 🙂
