The recipe for whipped squash from Simply in Season calls for 4 C cooked butternut squash, 2 T butter, 1 T brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon. Beat until smooth. But how does one cook squash in the first place?

Have you ever thought a recipe was one thing at first glance, and then when you read it a few times all of a sudden you realize it wasn’t what you thought it was? For some reason when I first glanced at this recipe, I thought it was for pumpkin PIE squares. But no, these [...]

Call me a hedonist, but I like just about any soup with the word “bisque” in the title. This version from Simply in Season gets its creaminess from nonfat plain yogurt, so I’ll put this in the healthy category. Cook the butternut or winter squash.

For my second soup attempt of the day, I chose Butternut Harvest Stew from the autumn section of Simply in Season. It begins easy enough, melt 2 T butter and saute 1 medium onion, chopped and 2 cloves of minced garlic along with 1.5 lb of cubed pork until the meat is no longer pink. [...]
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 [...]
