This recipe was originally written using sweet potatoes (which is delicious), but I had a lot of butternut squash on hand so I thought I would try it out. I am so glad I did! Butternut squash is not the first thing I would think of when I think of tacos, but the way it […]

Sweet Potato Pie
Sweet potato pie is one of my favorite desserts, especially around thanksgiving. This recipe was created by Chef Leah Chase with her unique pecan crust. If making homemade crust is not your cup of tea, you can always substitute a store-bought crust. Sweet Potato Pie Pie Filling Ingredients: 4 large sweet potatoes, boiled until tender […]
Kale Pesto
I normally think of pesto as a summer treat when there is plenty of fresh basil, but delicious pesto can me made from then just basil! This recipe uses kale, but really any leafy greens can be blended to make pesto anytime. An added bonus of using kale instead of basil is that it won’t […]

One of my favorites has become fiddleheads. Now, before you go picking the uncoiled heads of any old fern, know that there is a […]

Rutabagas in Root Vegetable Linguine
I come from a family that loves rutabagas. Maybe its the Scandinavian in us, but simply mashing the cooked root with some butter and salt makes us all very happy. But did you know there are many creative things to do with these plain-looking vegetables? Try any one of these, or use them in root […]
Maple Glazed Carrots
Last week we were graced with an abundance of carrots in our Winter CSA shares: earthy and sweet. Carrots are an often overlooked vegetable. But what would a hearty beef stew or a creamy, yet biting, coleslaw be without them? They’re excellent shaved into salads and cut into thick coins for soups. Carrots add an […]
