Good morning! 
Did anyone else catch the season premiere of How I Met Your Mother last night? It’s one of my favorite shows on TV right now and it always makes me laugh. Maybe it’s because I can relate to the characters so well? Mal and I sort of act like Lilly and Marshall, and Ted, Robin, and Barney remind me a lot of our friends.
I definitely had a good laugh last night. Mal and I even tried to perfect our High 6! 
Other TV shows that crack me up are Ellen (I’m obsessed!), Modern Family, Community, Big Bang Theory, and Jersey Shore– those people are so ridiculous, they’re funny! I love a good laugh!
Breakfast
Ok, so, I’m not the best baker, but sometimes I get it right. My Chocolate Chip Squash Loaf was definitely a winner!
Remember the huge squash that my realtor gave me a couple of weeks ago? Well, it’s been sitting in my kitchen since then, so I finally decided to do something with it. I cooked it up and turned it into a sweat, yummy loaf of bread. Aren’t veggies enjoyed best in baked goods!? 
Chocolate Chip Squash Loaf
Ingredients:
- 1 cup mashed yellow squash
- 1 cup spelt flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 tbsp butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350*F. Grease loaf pan.
- Combine all ingredients in large mixing bowl and blend well.
- Pour batter into loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, until top is firm and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow loaf to cool for 10 minutes before cutting.
On the side, I had some French vanilla yogurt with chia seeds.
My first piece of Chocolate Chip Squash Loaf was so delicious, I’m debating eating a second piece. It would be so good with the rest of my iced coffee!

Hope to see you there!
Yes, I LOVE “How I Met Your Mother.” Pure comic genius!
Definitely Modern Family. Hilarious!
I think Reno 911 is the funniest show in the world. The actors are so talented, and the script–or lack thereof!–is totally original and clever. Definitely my favorite comedy!
I love the Thursday night line up. Namely, Parks & Rec, The Office, and 30 Rock. I like Modern Family, but rarely catch it. And lately I’ve found reruns of How I Met Your Mother and My Boys quite funny.
But one show that I think ended way too soon was Arrested Development – so funny!!
I might actually get my family to eat squash. Yum!
I love The Big Bang Theory and Glee. Both are so, so funny! I also like watching Friends when I want to laugh.
I love How I Met your Mother! It’s so funny! My husband and I just got into that ahow last season. We also watch reruns on Lifetime and I never get tired of it. I also watch The Office, Modern Family, and 30 Rock. All hilarious shows.
I’m not much for comedies, though I do thing Modern Family is good. I prefer dramas with a little comedy mixed in (like Castle).
Dancing with the stars is always a good laugh
haha or It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is one of my favorites funny tv shows
My friends are from Minnesota and I always ask them if they have ever eaten Minnesota salad. I think that has to be my favorite show– I’m so glad it’s back on!!!
30 Rock!!
Modern Family…it’s hilarious!
Old Friends episodes! Love them!!!
I watch DVDs of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Whose Line Is It Anyway” when I want a good laugh – comic genius..
Hahaha! Totally LOVED the High 6! Jay and I got a huge kick outta that one.
Modern Family is our other favorite – cracks us up every time!
The Office is still my favorite. I’m like two seasons behind though
Modern Family and HIMYM are two of my favorites. The IT Crowd is also one of my favorite comedies- it’s Bristish and I think is shown sometimes in the US. It’s hysterical!
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It’s SOOOO WRONG but hilarious. It never fails to make me LMAO.
I love love love HOUSE. He’s rude, obnoxious and absolutely awesome.
We don’t watch a ton of series but we do love Jersey Shore
that bread sounds tasty! I am all about baking with squash.
I am a day late in commenting, but TONIGHT (Wednesday) is the premiere episode of Modern Family… if you have not seen it you SO should. it is hilarious!
I went ahead and added this yummy recipe to my Fall Friday post (mentioning you of course). Thanks for sharing. Check it out! http://chicagocuisinecritique.blogspot.com/2010/09/fall-friday_24.html
