Greens
For us greens become a welcome sight on the table as the summer winds down. We know what a valuable source of nutrition they are and just how delicious they can be. The Greens recipe section has lots of helpful hints. One of our favorites is the Kale with Vinegar and Egg.
Winter Squash
We’ve been taste testing the various different varieties of winter squash stored in the barn, and enjoying it. Butternut, Carnival and Sunshine have all been delicious. We like to bake them in the toaster oven for a quick meal. You can either eat the squash right from the rind, or scoop it out for use in other recipes.

Just wanted to say – soups are also a great way to eat greens. I think I’m going to make the Butternut Squash, Kale, and White Bean soup with my share this week.
OH! I also learned recently that chard (and I would imagine kale, too) is really good in a nice soupy gumbo. Who knew?
