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.

Laryn Kragt Bakker
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
Snobby Joes

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

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.

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.

Pea Soup (Sivet)

Here's one crockpot recipe that's a standby at our house--pea soup. We often eat it with cornbread.

Dawn and Edward Berkelaar
Crock Bean Soup with Kale

Serves 6

Dawn and Edward Berkelaar
Brussel Sprouts

We like this preparation for brussel sprouts.

Matt and Erica
Apple Walnut Oatmeal

We have enjoyed this Apple Walnut Oatmeal on cold winter mornings. We have prepared it overnight on low and it usually turns out pretty well, but there have been some instances of the bottom getting a little overcooked. Would work great when you stay up late and have to wake up early!

Gwen Tiggelaar
Honey-Ginger Autumn Stir Fry

I biked over to the local farmer's market today and picked up a bunch of fall/winter produce without a real plan for what to do with it all. This was an original creation and has a lot of different "wintery" flavors blending together.

Buns or Bread (Basic)

I've been making it into 24 buns most of the time, but it is a recipe for 2 loaves of bread.

Gert Bakker
Potato-Tomato Gratin

I found this recipe in Aug/Sept 98 Canadian Gardening magazine; whenever I am leafing through magazines the recipes always catch my eye. It seemed like an odd combination to have tomatoes and potatoes together but we find it quite tasty.

We enjoyed it for supper tonight.
