This is the second last pick-up! This will be the one of the latest seasons, with the final box in early October, but we did start later than ever this year what with a cool, moist Spring!
It's Winter Squash season now...and you'll be getting a bit of a 'stash' in these last two weeks. We always say that they are somewhat interchangeable in recipes...except spaghetti squash, although if mashed up or blended well enough it's very good in all the recipes! The recipes will taste differently, depending on the squash you use, but all good! Everyone is getting a spaghetti squash today, so here's a brief review on roasting spaghetti squash! So, here's a pumpkin custard that's dairy and gluten-free! Awesome dessert for Thanksgiving dinner! This would be awesome with pumpkin, Kabocha, Hubbard or Boston Marrow. A bit more nutty and textured with Buttercup or Acorn. Do you like a breakfast smoothie? Here's a super healthy Pumpkin Pie Smoothie! This includes kefir, a healthy probiotic, which you can purchase at local health food stores or substitute yogurt! This is a somewhat simpler Pumpkin Smoothie with bananas and milk or yogurt! Just 'cause it is 'the season', here's a recipe for Pumpkin Pie Spice. Make it up ahead then you're ready for all those muffins, pies, loaves, smoothies and custards! For us, we're going to probably quadruple a recipe like this...it's not going to go bad, right? How about starting your day with Winter Squash Baked Oatmeal? And then, if you want to be slightly more decadent...how about Butternut Swirl Cheesecake? Or Pumpkin Gingerbread, although ignore the part that calls for a can of pumpkin puree and use your fresh baked!
Winter squash are not just for dessert! How about Squash and Bean Tacos, with Tomatillo Salsa? This S'ghetti-Q Squash with BBQ beef and loads of cheese sounds yummy but pretty simple! Start the morning with Pumpkin Pancakes made with coconut flour! Here's more traditional Pumpkin Spice Pancakes; we've made these and they were fluffy and tasty! And soup...you've got to make soup with some of your winter squash! They all freeze well, for make-ahead-meals! Here's a Buttercup Soup recipe. Here's one that we've made: Curried Squash and Apple Soup!
And just because there has been some nice tarragon of late, courtesy of Tammy and Mike, how about a Grapefruit Tarragon Gin and Tonic after a hard day?
