5 Reasons Why I Subscribe to my CSA in October

Note: I’m re-posting this article from last year. My last pickup was yesterday, and the feeling was bittersweet. On the one hand, I’m glad for a break. On the other, I’m really going to miss the weekly rhythm of picking up the product.

Potato Leek Quiche

Warning: Do not make this on an empty stomach! The smell will drive you crazy while it bakes. This recipe is from the Spring Quiche Trio pages of Simply in Season. I’ve noticed that many of the vegetables available in the spring are also prevalent in the fall. In fact, the leeks were from today’s [...]

Cranberry Nut Loaf – GUEST BLOGGER

A huge thank you to Cathy at Cathy’s Kitchen Journey! Doesn’t this cranberry nut loaf look delish? After seeing some of these recipes reviewed and photographed by my fellow bloggers, I’m starting to despise this cranberry allergy of mine. Click on over to read her review!

Roasted Cauliflower and Sprouts

For this recipe, I used a romanesca cauliflower. It’s a fascinating looking vegetable, and DH couldn’t wait to try it. The night before, cut the cauliflower into 1 inch florets, halve the brussels sprouts, drizzle with 2 T olive oil and mix. Then, add 3 cloves of thinly sliced garlic, 1/2 tsp of rosemary, and [...]

Liberian Pumpkin with Cock Sauce

Even though I’ve been cooking for two months now, my idea of what is “a cinch to throw together” is still miles away from what the editors at Simply in Season consider “a cinch to throw together.” First, for this recipe, one must peel and cube 2-3 C of butternut squash (or you can use [...]

Broccoli Gratin

Today I brought the ingredients to make Simply in Season’s Broccoli Gratin to my mom’s house for Sunday dinner. Imagine my surprise to arrive and discover that her main dish was very similar to this – she was making a broccoli/chicken bake. I decided to go ahead and make my side dish so that we [...]

Broccoli Salad

Potlucks are funny. You never know what you’re gonna get, which I guess is the point. There is a garbage disposal service in our area called “Potluck Pickup.” At my old church, which had lots of older ladies, the potlucks were divine. At my current church, which is mostly 20 & 30 somethings, chips and [...]

Herbed Broccoli Sandwich

I know, a BROCCOLI sandwich? This is another one of those Simply in Season recipes that made me think “you’ve got to be kidding me, Gladys in Pennsylvania. ” But since I had a lot of broccoli from the farmer’s market I thought why not give it a try. Besides, I needed something to go [...]

Gingery Butternut Squash Soup

Over the past year I’ve grown to appreciate fresh ginger. Like garlic, the dried or jarred version just doesn’t compare. In case you aren’t sure what fresh ginger looks like, or how to cook with it, there is a great tutorial at Cookthink. Gingery Butternut Squash Soup from Simply in Season highlights fresh ginger, and [...]
