KABOCHA SQUASH AND SWEET POTATO SOUP WITH ADZUKI BEANS
I was macrobiotic for a few years in the mid 2000′s. Kabocha squash cooked with adzuki beans is their staple dish and I used to eat that all the time along with cooked brown rice. The other day I thought I should try making a soup version of this dish, and here is what I came up with. For more healthy gluten-free recipes, please visit my blog, www.innerharmonynutrition.com.

Steps:
- In a medium size pan, place adzuki beans and cover with enough water. Bring it to boil, turn off heat and drain.
- Add about 3 times the amount of water as beans and cook for 50 - 60 minutes until the beans are soft. (If you have a pressure cooker, it only takes about 13 - 15 minutes under pressure). Drain the water.
- In a soup pot, put onion, kabocha squash and sweet potato. Cover with enough water and cook until vegetables are soft.
- Puree the vegetables using a blender, food processor or hand blender. Add salt.
- Serve with cooked adzuki beans and chopped parsley on top.

SEPHARDIC SWEET POTATOES AND SQUASH
I was looking through (forgive me) another recipe site, and found this. I have been making it for the last four Thanksgivings. It has become a "traditional" Thanksgiving side dish (and for any other meal). I made it the first year and brought it to my daughter-in-law's house, now three years later, she is making it for Thanksgiving.It can be used with chicken and pot roast too) The peeling & cutting of the potatoes and squash is a little bit of a bother, but it's worth the work. You will love this dish! I usually double the ingredients so we will have leftovers.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Peel the squash and sweet potatoes.
- Cut both the sweet potatoes and the squash into 1 inch cubes. Place most of the oil in the pan (I use a 9-inch13"), and add the sweet potatoes and the squash and bake, covered with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes is up, remove dish from oven and remove foil.
- Add cranberries (I use more than 1/4 cup).
- Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon on top and dribble with remaining oil (again, I use a little more of the sugar, cinnamon and oil).
- Bake uncovered at 375°F for 30-35 minutes, or until well browned.

KABOCHA (JAPANESE PUMPKIN) PIE WITH A COCONUT FLOUR CRUST
This tasty, even-lower-carb-than-pumpkin kabocha squash (aka Japanese pumpkin) pie has a texture very similar to pumpkin, but the taste is slightly different. Almost a little sweeter if you ask us. Some say it's a cross between pumpkin and sweet potato. This recipe is a 2-step process which requires the pie crust to be made first. For a Paleo, non-dairy version, just replace the heavy cream for full-fat coconut milk.
