[eschlos]

this is also a great way to do zuccini. and for similar french fry type SCD freindly food I like to do teh shoe string carrots in olive oil in teh frying pan.

[vincentorio]

Yummm i've just bought three pumpkin's for 3 euro's :D so i'll try it in the coming days :D

<3 the blue hair, the rat, the Huuge knife and the sweet music =)

cyaa =)

@vincentorio Cool! What did you make with your pumpkin :) Pumpkins are great! I love the color too lol

[vincentorio]

@fernpixel Actually, after your video i made them "french fries" with provence herbs if that rings any bell :P Delicious! carrots work good for that too, and put them together in an oiled tray and the sweet flavors of the carrots mix in the pumpkin a bit as well ;)mm still have one pumpkin left, but the salesman told me i could store it for about a month or two so i'll just leave it there to ripen some more =)

By the way, peeling the squash with a potato/carrots peeling thingy works good ;)

[fernpixel]

@vincentorio I've tried the peeler, but I prefer using a blade :)

Nice! Roasted carrots are pretty awesome too :)

[fernpixel]

Yay! I've used Spaghetti Squash before. Its quite nice. I've also roasted an Acorn Squash and a pumpkin the same way :)

[Hercnh]

What temperature and for how long?

[fernpixel]

425 F for 40 minutes and turned them over every 10 minutes so they won't burn :)

[Hercnh]

How many minutes do you bake the butternut squash fries for? and what temperature? Thanks

[exodus21v20]

butternut squash is soooo hard to cut.

[fernpixel]

Yea!! It totally is. Its better if you can get someone else to do it lol

[moonprincess3331]

Wow, this is a really cute video. I'm on the SCD, so I'm def. gonna try making these now. I like how u show us the fry during step 3 lol.

[fernpixel]

Yay! I'm glad you liked the recipe. I like it because its easy and delicious! Actually, I made these the other day!

[chefcommons]

Nice work, we liked your video very much so we embedded it on ChefCommons w/ link back and reference to Youtube. (Let us know if you don't wish for it to be featured)

[fernpixel]

Thanks! That sounds cool. I don't mind, but are you ok that my pet rodents are in the middle of the video? I realized after the fact that I probably shouldn't add my gerbils in a cooking video. Its a little... weird :)

[gthus]

I love squash, but I never thought to make fries out of it before. Thank you for sharing :)

[whoybeen]

so like how long did you leave them in and do you think the taste of them might be able to taste like a real potato. I like to use it in a bacon and onion soup that requires white potatoes. any opinion is helpful.

[fernpixel]

425 F for 40 minutes and turned them over every 10 minutes so they won't burn. Substitutions will never taste exactly like the original. But the texture is very close. I think it tastes closer to sweet potatoes, just not as sweet.

[jmorto11]

I liked your video, specially the music. I must say your cutting methods are kind of scary.

[sans15]

Bravo!

[tomkalhona]

sharpen ur knife

[s3ne]

lol you're so cute. i love your videos. i'm just getting started on the scd diet too, so thanks for the tips/recipe :)

[redwriter1]

Fern, I just wanted to let you know , yours was the first video I saw and it really helped me and my 18 year old son. The diet is amazing and he felt great after 7 days.. and back to normal after 20 days.......I love your videos.....please make more....... we need to get the word out about how powerful this diet is. Thanks again..

Mike's Mom

[dirtyknave]

thanks for the video, i'm just starting the scd myself. winter squash and gourd season is almost upon us, i'm sure to try this recipe out soon if not tomorrow.

[Pauack32]

try coconut oil (butter). It may help calm your gut...

[BaileyBasenji]

Isn't Quaker Oats an illegal on SCD? I see it on the counter in your videos.

[fernpixel]

Quaker Oats is illegal. I don't eat those, but my family does =P

[mukster005]

thanks that makes me feel better!! and its almost over now and I'm feeling good enough to go out again so now I'm happy:)

[mukster005]

I was wondering if your symptoms worsen or if you go more during a certain time of the month because things were starting to look up for me recently and now that I have my period perhaps not so much :(

[fernpixel]

It happens to me too :/ I also notice that I get cravings around that time and I end up cheating on my diet, so that might contribute to my symptoms around that time. For me it goes away when that time is over though.

[PerkinsRooster]

Hey FernPixel! Great job, do more of these, ok? :)

I actually made the fries myself a couple weeks ago and they were very good!

[fernpixel]

Right-o! There will be more videos :) I love cooking!

That's great news! I'm glad you enjoyed them!

[thisnamesbeentaken2]

I'm not braggin here but I have UC and I can eat pretty much what I want without any repercussions. But I still gota try those Chips, that's right, they're chips... not fries Miss Pixel! ;) Btw... what temperature do you bake them at???? *wavas back madly* lol

[ComfortingLie007]

For you guys that cant eat icecream, what about soy icecream. Have you ever tried that?

[fernpixel]

Well... my diet doesn't allow any soy products either... so no soy ice cream.

[moonprincess3331]

Do you ever eat coconut icecream? There is probably carageenan, which is I know, illegal, but maybe u could see how u do with it. Also, what is the name of the song you play at 1:49?

[fernpixel]

Oh yeah, that song was from an old cd i have with weird but fun cocktail music. I'm not quite sure what the name is.

[moonprincess3331]

The best ice cream to try on the scd diet would probably be Luna and Larry's Organic Coconut Bliss ice cream. It contains guar gum, however, which is illegal. Some can tolerate it though, I imagine.

[fernpixel]

I never thought to eat coconut ice cream! That's a great idea! I probably won't go out to buy it. I own an ice cream maker :)

[mibarra1978]

thanks for the videos

[gozza]

what's wrong with potatoes? I don't eat them recently. Is there any problem with the carbohydrate?

[fernpixel]

There's nothing wrong with potatoes. Its just that I can't eat them anymore because they're restricted from the diet that I am on called "specific carbohydrate diet". For me it takes too long to break down and it causes problems. I can't have ice cream anymore either :(

[gozza]

I think most of UC or Crohn patients have their own diet and stuff. Nice to see you are healthy and making more videos.

I can't eat ice cream no more. damn you lactose!

[danielcohen00]

Nice vid! Butternut squash is really tasty and makes great soup with sweet potato. Its pretty much a pumpkin.

[britamonster]

Your little gerbil cracks me up! hehe

Thanks for sharing your cooking skills. :) I had no idea that butternut squash could be substituted for potatoes. I'm going to have to try that!

[fernpixel]

yay! gerbil! <3

Cool! let me know if you like the butternut squash if you try it :)
