I don't know of anywhere to get butternut squash fries, you have to make them yourself (or get your boyfriend to do it!) You just peel and de-seed the squash, cut it into fry shapes and bake them. You can give them a light coating of olive oil, or I just spray them with Pam. Salt or whatever spice you like while they're raw. They take about 40 minutes at 425 degrees, flipping them over halfway through. They can be a lot of work, depending on the size of your squash, but they are sooooooooo good!
And I feel your cooking pain, too. Italian is my favorite to eat, and the only thing I've ever really liked to cook. What I do now is make a big honking pot of whole wheat pasta, and throw crushed tomatoes, shredded carrots, mushrooms and onions in the crockpot. It is still delicious and as close as I ought to get to Italian. I divide it up into individual portions and freeze it. That way I can get my fix any time without having to cook every dang day.
Good luck tomorrow - the first day of your new and improved life!!!
