Cooking Up Something New

Posted on November 8, 2010September 7, 2012 by Jacky Hackett

Our final CSA delivery has come and gone.  It was a good season, lots of variety and eggs were included this year too.  My copy of From Aspargus to Zucchinni has yet to let me down on the recipe side.  The latest success was acorn squash stuffed with grilled vegetables and corn bread.  Delicious, even the kids at it…
