I've had this account for a loooooong time, and I realized I've never done an introduction post. I'm a pretty private person online, partly because not everyone in my personal life enjoys being on social media, but also because I'm really sensitive and the internet can be a harsh place.

I do want to share more, though. I am so grateful to you all for opening up your kitchens, sharing photos of your families enjoying my recipes, and allowing me to be part of your journeys in plant-based cooking. The gratitude I feel from every tagged PBOAB recipe photo or thoughtful and kind message is immense. <3

Here's a little about me to go along with the photos:

1. I'm Toni. I grew up and currently live in Sacramento, CA. I love the heat, being near my family, and having a long season to grow food.

2. I co-host The Plant-Powered People Podcast with my dear friend and business partner, @vegan. She's been a great friend to me over the years, and we've seen each other through the darkness. It's nice to work together so often!

3. I'm thankful I have a partner with whom I can experience life's highs and lows. We share the same fundamental values and lifestyle choices of not consuming animal products, living a life free of drugs or alcohol, trying to be as kind to the earth as possible, not wanting children, etc. I believe that life can be a bumpy road, and I'm glad I have someone steady with me at home.

4. In March 2020, our local shelter @frontstreetanimals had 24 hours to clear their kennels due to the Covid-19 shutdown. I rushed to help and they placed a no-name pitbull into our home. His kind demeanor, friendliness with children and all animals, and affection toward us made it impossible to let him go. We quickly decided to adopt him and have been a happy family since.

This might be the easiest way to roast a butternut squash. 👀

I love butternut squash this time of year, but I don’t love wrestling with a hard squash and trying to peel and chop it before cooking. 😂 So I keep things simple and roast mine whole! Once it’s cooked, I cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, and then cut the squash into pieces and use it for whatever I’m making.

It’s such an easy shortcut when I want roasted butternut squash for soups, salads, curries, grain bowls, or just as a simple side.

How do you usually cook your butternut squash? Do you peel and chop it first, or have you tried roasting it whole?

I love that it’s packed with protein and it can made in just one pot using a stove, crockpot, or Instant Pot for a super satisfying dinner.
