Simple Butternut Squash recipe

9/30/2019

 
Recipe by Mallory Froman. She says: "Super easy but it's how we always eat our squash!  The kids love it."

Ingredients:
1 large (or two small) Butternut Squash
1 TBS Garlic Powder
2 TBS Avocado Oil

Directions:
Peel and cut your squash into small squares (about 1/4 in).
In a bowl, coat your cut squash with the avocado oil.
Spread coated squash on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  Make sure not to over crowd the pan (they won't crisp if they are).
Sprinkle with garlic powder.
Bake at 425 for 35-40 minutes or until squash are golden brown.

Green Beans recipe

9/23/2019

 
​Is your fridge overflowing with green beans (or yellow wax beans), like mine is?  I plan to cut, blanch and freeze mine so I'll have some for winter.  I'm also planning to try this recipe from CSA member Mallory Froman. She says, "the green beans were so good this week!  Here's how I fixed them. (I adapted the recipe from tasteandtellblog)."

  • Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 lbs fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 10 oz cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
Directions:
  1. Place green beans in a large saucepan and cover with water.  Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and simmer until the green beans are tender, about 10 minutes.  Drain off the water and set aside.
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.  Stir in the garlic powder, salt and pepper.  Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft.  Stir the green beans into the tomatoes and heat for another minute or two, until the beans are heated through.  Stir in the basil and serve immediately.

Garlic piling up? This is a delicious spread, or a great addition to recipes.
Submitted by Mallory Froman

Ingredients:
Garlic (whole head)
Foil

Directions:
1. Cut the top off of the head of garlic so the tops of the cloves are exposed.
2. Wrap in foil.
3.  Place foil wrapped garlic on a cookie sheet and roast at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
4.  Let cool, unwrap the garlic, and squeeze the cloves out.  The garlic cloves will be soft and spreadable.

Use the roasted garlic in your favorite sauces and recipes or even use it as a spread!

I made the attached recipe last night with Barr Farms chicken legs and it was terrific. The whole family loved it."
​ 

Different curry powders tend to have different heat levels, and they are all made with different combinations of spices in different amounts. You might want to make this recipe the first time with no additional hot spice. You can always add it at the end of cooking.
If you don’t have tomato sauce, feel free to use a can of diced tomatoes, or a 2 cups fresh tomatoes cut up, or tomato puree.
