Did you see this recipe pushed out by the New York Times today? Do you, like me, still have some delicata squash waiting to be used? You could do this butternut, but you’d have to peel it first.

Butternut Squash
Butternut Squash and Cheddar Dip
We’ve got dozens of butternut squash recipes at https://grassfedcow.com/ingredient/butternut-squash/ but I’m throwing out one more in case you are tired of butternut squash soup and roasted butternut squash cubes. This one’s from seriouseats.com. Interesting tip about using the microwave. I’m going to try that this week.
Curried Cider Pork Stew
So now I’m pretending the temperatures are cooperating and a nice stew is in order. Or maybe you’re just ready for stew no matter that it’s in the upper 80s out there.
Maybe you still have a carrot or two left over from last week? If not, skip the carrots in this recipe. Add more squash, dice in eggplant instead, substitute a few peppers ….. it’s up to you. I don’t remember where this recipe came from, but hope you’re using Riverview pork when you make it.
Beef and Butternut Chili
Butternut chili recipes abound because butternut is a delicious addition to any chili recipe, soaking up and complementing the flavors in a way few other vegetables can do. This recipe started out in Bon Appetit. Use whatever dried whole peppers you have on hand. And if you don’t have any, then chili powder will do. Lots of great chili recipes start with this toasting/soaking/grinding step for dried chiles and so I keep a few small bags on hand in the freezer. If I were more of a connoisseur, I suppose I would be more stringent about which peppers I use, but I find they all turn out pretty delicious.

Portuguese Butternut Preserves
Your first inclination when you see butternut squash in your box may be to roast it or turn it into soup. I like the idea of making these preserves, adapted from a recipe in the New York Times. Simple, delicious and starts to make your kitchen smell like fall.
Butternut and Apple Bake
This recipe is from Dianna Tribble of Tribble Farms. She sells her honey at the Roswell Farmers & Artisans Market on Thursday nights.
Butternut and Date Salad
This New York Times recipe would work with either your butternut or your delicata. Did I mention I put delicata into a risotto this week? We had a butternut squash risotto recipe to test and I decided to save myself the work of peeling a butternut by using last week’s delicata. A good scrub, remove the seeds and the squash is ready to cook. Roasted with a little brown sugar, then stirred into a classic risotto with some cream – it was the perfect foil for sweet fresh Georgia seafood.
But I digress. Try this salad where the dates bring out the sweetness of the squash. And no cooking!
