Another delicious squash idea

We had this recipe for Winter Squash and Chicken Stew With Indian Spices and declared it the best use of winter squash we've discovered so far. I don't have any idea about it's authenticity, but it was sure delicious, and healthay and fast and easy!

Cauliflower Crazy!

My husband used to specifically wish to ban cauliflower from our dinner table. Well, we got a huge head in our farm box and I had to use it. Waste not, want not, right? Well, we struck it rich with this recipe for Roasted Curried Cauliflower. This was not just a tolerable way to use up the cauliflower. This was a dish we could not stop eating!!! Don't leave out the onion quarters or the cilantro garnish. The onions were just as good, if not better than the cauliflower and the bites with cilantro were totally different than ones without, also very yummy. I can't believe I'm crazy for cauliflower! Don't be scared by the "curry." This dish is packed with spices, but is not "spicy" - no burn, no heat, just delicious flavor!

Amazing Squash: I once was blind, but now I see

I used to think I didn't like Butternut Squash. I like it now! Try this recipe for Spiral Pasta with Roasted Butternut and Plum Tomatoes from the Seattle Times. You'll be converted too!

Scallion-Chicken Noodles

Yum yum. That's all. Scallion-Chicken Noodles If you need this to go farther, bump up the chicken to 1 lb or thereabouts - however much came in your package. I also substitue canola oil for the peanut oil. Don't balk at the 1 cup of green onions. It doesn't take as many as you think. Enjoy.

Beets in Vinaigrette

We have had a lot of beets from both the CSA and our own garden. This recipe for Beets in Vinaigrette is my favorite way to eat them so far. Substitute orange juice for the vinegar for another delicious variation.
