I live in San Francisco, and my husband and I get a Terra Firma Farm CSA veggie box once a week. It has forced me to be mindful about what I cook, and to explore new recipes -- what do you do with persimmons? However, I find that most weeks I have some piece of greenery left wilting in the crisper, some piece of fruit molding in the fruit bowl. This blog signals a new commitment to using up all of the veggies. I will share recipes and ideas, and hope that you will share yours as well.

Monday, December 19: Bring on the Squash

We have had this acorn squash sitting on our shelf for a while -- or at least it feels like it. I get intimidated by squash because it always seems to take forever to prepare. But, I'm on vacation, so bring it, squash! I decided to make this yummy stuffed squash recipe I'd seen awhile ago. Turns out, you microwave the squash, and the whole thing takes about 30 mins, if you're not rushing. Sweet!


Acorn Squash Stuffed with Chard and White Beans:
This recipe is from Eating Well magazine, not surprisingly. That place makes some good, easy recipes! I replaced the chard with the Red Russian kale from this week's box. It is also for four people, but I just stuffed a bunch of filling in each half and baked the rest in a ramekin. It was a perfect amount of food for two hungry people.

Harry polished off his squash in no time! 


Still to go from this week's box:
- 2 butternut squash
- 10 mandarins
- 1/2 dozen Asian pears
- 1 bag arugula
- 3 heads broccoli

- 3 heads garlic (still working on this fall's collection)


Leftover from last week (!):
- 1/2 bag greens
- 1 head cabbage
- 3 carrots
- 3 lemons
- bunch of oranges
