Squash is usually used for dishes and soup. It is very rare for some to incorporate it with their baked goodies. Squash is very healthy and it is always a good idea to incorporate it with our dishes. The other one of our friend, sent us a whole butternut squash, around 3.4 kg. I was thinking what to do about it. Until today I come up with this easy, soft, delicious and nutritious bread recipe. I'm happy to share it with you.

This muffin is very easy and requires ingredients that are usually readily available in your kitchen. Since its summer season here in the Philippines and harvest season also, that includes carrots that are cheaper now because of high supply. My sister don't eat carrots, and her only reason is she doesn't want the taste and smell. She's actually a picky eater and doesn't really know why she doesn't like it, ha ha. I've been experienced cook for so long, I love doing experiment in the kitchen. I always trick her with my recipes by disguising the ingredients ha ha ha. This muffin is one of those recipes. I promise you everybody will love it and no trace of carrots will be seen on your finished product. Let's begin.

Iced Cold Coffee is our favorite coolers for refreshment. The key to the best tasting iced coffee is to used only the pure and freshly grind arabica coffee beans. It requires freshly brewed espresso coffee of course. But not all households can afford to buy coffee machine or espresso machine. So, here I used mocha express, very handy coffee maker. Here's my own recipe I wanted you to try. Ingredients: 2 scoops coffee grounds 2 tbsp coco sugar 1 cup fresh milk half cup cube/tube ice pinch of cinnamon (optional) Instructions 1. Pour water in mocha express kettle (I used the 3 cups size) 2. Put on the coffee cup and put the coffee grounds. Close tightly. 3. Bring to a boil, until it finished brewing. 4. Meanwhile, in a small mason jar, put on ice and pour on milk. 5. Put the espresso coffee in a separate glass and add in sugar. Stir. 6. Pour coffee in a ice milk mixture. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Served with straw. Enjoy! Tips: Sugar is optional. Not everyone wants sweet, either you ask
