Were you excited to see kale in your box? I’m ready for this dish that combines kale with butternut squash and pasta. Just says “comfort food” to me. No shallot? Leave it out or substitute some onion or garlic. The pasta cooks in the same skillet – easy cleanup.

Did you see this recipe from “The Vegetarian Grill” by Andrea Chesman?
Braised and Glazed Butternut Squash
From Mark Bittman: “This is your go-to recipe for everyday winter squash; it will work with any variety, but I usually turn to butternut because it’s so much easier to deal with than all the others. Once you peel and cut the squash, you braise it in a small amount of liquid, then boil off the remaining moisture to glaze it. Other vegetables you can use: any winter squash (except spaghetti), though they will all be more difficult to cut and peel than butternut.” This recipe is from his “How to Cook Everything” (Completely Revised 10th Anniversary Edition).

Butternut Oyster Stew
On my mind right now are oysters – having just come home from one coast and headed to another in about a week. September brings the months with “r” back, so it’s time to be thinking oysters again. I think this is adapted from a recipe that actually came from Better Homes and Gardens magazine.
And how great is it to see that butternut squash in our box today? It may be the first of many to come, but what a blessing – a vegetable you can sock away in the pantry and pull out come January when we’re missing the delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables every week.
Slow Cooker Beef and Butternut Squash
I think this recipe originally came from Better Homes and Gardens magazine. Substitute your fresh tomatoes for the canned ones if you like.
Fall Squash and Pepper Soup
And fall boxes always include a variety of winter squash. Use your butternut or delicatas in this recipe adapted from a recipe by Steven Satterfield of Miller Union as demonstrated at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market. You can use all the different peppers from this week’s box as well, but you’ll have to find your own hot pepper.
