I had my doubts about this recipe. Sauerkraut? In soup? But I had all the ingredients, and Mark Bittman hasn’t steered me wrong yet. So I gave it a try.
Grilled Sausages with Baby Turnips and Turnip Greens
June 24, 2010 By 4 Comments
So I had these spring turnips from the CSA pickup and no recipes in Simply In Season that called for them. Lucky me, I have a couple of cookbooks in my “to review” pile. I found a recipe in Eating Local: The Cookbook Inspired by America’s Farmers that sounded good. (Look for the review next Friday!)

Simply In Season calls this “Weed Soup” in the recipe notes. It’s a great way to use up CSA leftovers!

This is one of my favorites from Simply in Season, and last year when my aunt had an abundance of asparagus I gave her this recipe. Her young boys LOVED it!
Dark Days Challenge: Sausage and Apples
December 26, 2009 By 6 Comments
I was so excited to try this dish from Simply in Season, because I LOVE the sausage from Cresswick. I decided to make this my Dark Days Challenge post for the week since almost all the ingredients are local. Begin by piercing 4-6 links of sausage, and brown in a wide saucepan on medium-high, turning often, 5-7 minutes. You’ll probably need to add some oil so it doesn’t stick. Remove from pan. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 C {Read More}
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 pumpkin). I usually peel my butternuts with a vegetable peeler, as a knife is tricky to maneuver. Then, you have to chop an onion and {Read More}
Pumpkin Sausage Pasta

This is another recipe that I wouldn’t have tried were it not for the challenge of cooking every recipe in Simply in Season. Pumpkin? Sausage? Pasta? Oh well, it has wine in it, if it tastes bad I can always finish off the bottle! Ingredients: 1 lb penne pasta 1 lb bulk sweet Italian sausage 1 medium onion (finely chopped) 4 cloves garlic (minced) 1 bay leaf 2 T fresh sage (cut into thin strips; otherwise use a dash of {Read More}
Stuffed Acorn Squash with Sweet & Sour Swiss Chard
September 30, 2009 By 3 Comments
It feels like autumn in West Michigan. The weather is cooler and the winter squash is here. This recipe made great use of both CSA veggies and the squash that my dad grew in his garden. While I’m kind of sad that the warm weather is nearly gone (and the Michigan winter is coming!) I’m looking forward to the autumn section of Simply in Season. I don’t know about you, but my usual way of cooking acorn squash is with {Read More}
