I had a ton of butternut squash left over from last night's dinner, so I figured, why not add a side of butternut squash hash to our #brunch #breakfast this beautiful polar-vortex-free winter morning. The good news about this hash as opposed to your usual potato based hash:
Per cup, butternut squash has only 5% of your daily recommended value of carbohydrates. Potatoes have 8%.
Potassium isn't all that great for folks with kidney disease. Squash has 14% DRV of potassium, and potatoes have 18%.
Other good news about this squash/apple hash is that apples are very high in fiber.
