Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

One of our favourite muffins. I usually double the recipe and make either 16 extra large or 20 large muffins. I use silicon muffins cupcake forms in metal muffin tins. Easy clean up there!

Gert Bakker
Plum Frangipane Tart

I made this for the first time while we were staying with Jon & Erika for a couple of weeks in the summer of 2010. It's great for late summer or fall, when you can find plums that are ripe to the point of being wrinkly.

'Frangipane' refers to the filling made with almonds.

Matt Bakker
Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup

A friend originally made this for us and it is great. We use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, clean the meat off to chop for the soup and then boil the rest of the carcass to make some of the chicken broth that is required.

Radish Top Soup

If you are part of a CSA sometimes you get things you might not usually use, like radishes. Here's a soup that uses the tops of the radishes.

Butternut Squash Casserole

This is loosely based on a recipe from Vegetarian Times.

Pumpkin Dip

Our favourite [pumpkin recipe] this week is a pumpkin dip that tastes great with apple slices.

Erika Bakker
Pumpkin Muffins

This is our current favorite [pumpkin recipe]. We have 1 cup bags of frozen pre-cooked pumpkin in the freezer which work for this.

Patrick and Melinda
Stuffed acorn squash

One recipe we’ve enjoyed several times this fall is stuffed acorn squash (I don’t add the pasta).

Dawn and Edward Berkelaar
Beet Soup

"This the beet soup recipe from Pat & Mel. We had sour cream as a garnish there and I used yogurt here. Both were good." -Mom

Patrick and Melinda
Snobby Joes

"This version thinks its better than everyone because it contains no meat. And there’s no soy, either."

Laryn Kragt Bakker
Kohlrabi Salad

We got this recipe with our CSA share when the kohlrabi came in. It's a nice side dish.

Matt and Erica
Chicken and Black Beans (serves 4)

This is Erica's dad's specialty. We love it, and it's good even if it gets cold.

Matt and Erica
Cinnamon Hazelnut Biscotti

We made this as a part of the Seattle Bakker's Christmas package this year, and did eat a few ourselves as well.

Laryn Kragt Bakker
Spiced Apple Pear Crumble Pie

This is a recipe I made up based on a variety of online sources and the contents of our fridge. I think it turned out fairly well.

Laryn Kragt Bakker
Vegetarian Chili

Janel got this recipe from a friend (Becky Lehman) and when we make chili, this is the recipe we usually fall back on. You can adlib with a few things (we've added corn and mushrooms, for example) and if you need a little protein, you can add ground meat easily.
