Time again to use one of the butternut squash from my garden (somehow the crate of squash does not seem to be getting smaller). I peeled it and cut it up to use in a healthy chili. I love chili, all types of chili. Red chilis, white chilis, black bean chilis, leftover turkey chili, Cincinnati chili. Chili…

Eggplant and Butternut Squash Tagine with Chickpeas and Raisins
We attended the Delaware Wine and Beer Festival last week and, aside from some new beverages, we discovered a new farm – Suzuki Farms in Delmar, Delaware. They specialize in Japanese vegetables. We picked up some eggplants and some delicious salad dressing that his wife made. I used a could of the eggplants with a…
Pasta with Kale Pesto and Roasted Butternut Squash
Time to use the first of the butternut squash from my garden. It was “parents night out”, with Cam spending the evening at Tae Kwan Do. So, our version of night out – a good dinner, a walk with the dog, and a movie rental. We finally watched The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel –…
Baked Farro and Butternut Squash
I picked up a beautiful butternut squash at Highland Orchards, big enough for 2 meals. For the first, I made Ina Garten’s Baked Farro & Butternut Squash. Of course, I was out of farro, so it was really red wheat berries and butternut squash, but that didn’t matter, it was delicious! The taste, the texture,…
Minestrone
We recently added a 10 month old puppy to our family. He is a Shar pei – Lab mix and, aside from being my son’s new best friend, is my constant companion in the kitchen when I cook. He loves the end pieces of squash, carrots and tomato cores, and lays in wait for anything that…
Butternut Squash Chili Nachos
When I checked my freezer to survey what sauces and veggies I still have from last harvest, I found a surprise – black bean & butternut squash chili that I had made using squash and peppers from my garden and frozen in the fall. Since I seem to be in the mood for fun food…
Roasted Vegetables as the Solution to Leftovers
Tonight was a scrounging-through-the-fridge night. What to make for dinner? So many leftover ingredients…cabbage, brussels sprouts, roast chicken, rice, and…the treat I found in the freezer – I had cubed and frozen half of one of the butternut squash from my garden in the fall! I had totally forgotten about it. So, this sounded like…
Pasta with Butternut Squash and Mushrooms
Alas, this is the last of the butternut squash from my garden. It is a cute little squash, pretty much half the size of my average butternuts. It is always with a bit of sadness that I make the last dish for each of the season’s crops. This pasta dish with butternut squash and mushrooms…
Gnocchi with Squash and Kale
I stopped by Highland Orchards, my favorite all-natural farm, on my way home from Philadelphia. I left with armfuls of great fruits and vegetables, including some really nice looking kale. I should have taken a picture of it raw for you. You will just have to trust me, it was nice kale. Lauren is home,…
Pasta with Roasted Winter Vegetables
Sweet potatoes, butternut squash, Brussels sprouts, kale – who says the winter is boring? I still have sweet potatoes and butternut squash from the garden (and garlic, of course). I am always surprised by how long they keep, two years ago, I had so many butternut squash, we were still eating them the following May!…
