Today I went through my freezer to make a list of what we had. Turns out we’ve got a lot. I want to get through it over the next few months. I think that will mean a lot of vegetable soup and fruit muffins. Not a horrible fate, I suppose.
Here’s what we have that came [...]

Pecans
Here’s a fabulous recipe for candied pecans. It’s really easy if you’re only making 2 cups worth. The reviews of the recipe suggested doubling the recipe and adding cinnamon and honey. That’s what I did, and it worked out great. My mom used to make something like these for teacher gifts when I was [...]

So this is my last bag of produce for at least a whole month. I’m trying to be brave about it. I bought some extra stuff from the online store to keep us going.
lettuce
butternut squash
apples
walnuts
duck eggs
catnip sock
The butternut squash is a linebacker of a squash, so we’ll get a bunch of dishes out of that. [...]

This was a great week, and I learned a lot.
Butternut squash!
We cooked our butternut squash in two stages: the neck and the bottom. First we cut off the neck, peeled it (butternut squash is pretty easy to peel), and sliced it into half-inch rounds. Then we drizzled them with butter and brown sugar and baked [...]

Here’s what happened with this week’s produce…
The pumpkin got moldy on the outside. I think it’s because the stem broke off when I picked it up. We’re going to cut the pumpkin open and cook it tonight if the insides aren’t moldy. So this week I learned not to pick up winter squash by their [...]

Wait a minute… that’s not kohlrabi
It’s pac choi. I said I had kohlrabi in my bag and was looking for a recipe. My neighbor suggested making kohl-slaw by slivering the kohlrabi root and using it in place of cabbage. I found a beef with kohlrabi stirfry recipe. When my kohlrabi turned about to be pac [...]
