Spicy Pumpkin Curry Soup
Lately, with the weather going further and further towards winter here in Nashville, we have been craving foods with warmth. Especially Megan, who could die from hypothermia in 70º weather. And I’m not just talking about food that is served warm. Megan had the idea for this spicy, India-inspired pumpkin soup that sounded like it [...]
Pumpkin Spice Pancakes with Shaved Dark Chocolate
After the weeks of glorious winter squashes from the CSA, this last week we finally got a pumpkin! We instantly started making a list of dishes want to use it for. Pumpkin bread, soup, muffins, pancakes, pie, etc. — you get the idea. Fortunately, the pumpkin was large enough that we can use it for a few [...]

Butternut Squash Risotto, Illustrated
My boss recently turned me on to Cook’s Illustrated. How I had never purchased this magazine is beyond me. While I adore the amazing food photography, I really enjoy how the focus of CI is perfecting the taste of recipes. No advertising, no nonsense, just great recipes and helpful tips. The current issue is “Italian [...]

Creamy Winter Squash Soup and Fancy Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
A few weeks ago we received this strange, bulbous, warty squash from our CSA. We had no idea what it was. After some research we discovered that it was a Hubbard squash. I read that their flesh tends to be very moist and they they need to be cooked longer but that they are perfect [...]

Zucchini Rollatini with Roasted Butternut Squash Cream Sauce
I’ve read many a blog post recently about having way too much of various items from people’s CSAs. For some, it’s zucchini. For others, yellow squash. For us, it’s been eggplant. Now, I’ve never been a huge fan of eggplant up until recently, but we have received so much of it over the past 2 [...]

A Sunday of Preparation: Wine & Pasta Sauce
Sundays in our house are often a day of rest and preparation. This Sunday was no different. We had a bunch of tomatoes from the CSA that we needed to use so we decided on making some roasted vegetable pasta sauce. It’s really easy, but takes a while so its perfectly suited to Sundays. I [...]

Moroccan Stuffed Acorn Squash and Arugula Salad
Our friend Monica loves to garden. So much so that she plants WAY too much and gives tons of home-grown fruits and vegetables away to her very lucky friends. We received an acorn squash from her along with a bunch of other stuff. For the acorn squash we decided that stuffing it somehow would make [...]

Patty Pan Cakes (Faux Crab Cakes) & Arugula Salad with Lemon Yogurt Dressing
A few weeks ago, Megan’s mom gave us a recipe for these fake crab cakes that are basically a fried shredded zucchini cake. How can that not be good!? Unfortunately, it was right after we finished using the enormous amount of zucchini we had received that week from our CSA — and that was the last zucchini [...]

Chipotle & Roasted Corn Salsa
With all the heirloom tomatoes we’ve received from our CSA recently, it’s been hard to keep up! Now, Megan is not a fan of raw tomatoes at all so we’ve worked hard to come up with interesting ways that we can both enjoy them. There have been lots of pasta and pizza sauces made, and [...]
