Cabbage Sausage Stew with Potatoes
by Beth Sorrell Here’s what I did the other half of that giant head of cabbage.
Bison Chili with Roasted Poblanos
by Beth Sorrell This week my recipe was inspired by a pasta recipe from the New York Times. Their recipe called for walnuts, but since I picked up the cabbage, pasta, leeks and pecans at the same time, this version was meant to be. And it’s delicious!

Chestnuts Roasting in the Airfryer
by Beth Sorrell This was so easy! I will never make them any other way.
Roasted Patty Pan Squash with Chili and Lime
by Beth Sorrell You can roast any pepper this way. Jalapeño peppers get a bit milder when roasted. Red bell peppers are delicious roasted and puréed in a sauce. I roast a lot of my hot peppers and peel them.

Peach Paw Paw Bread

Tomatillo Salsa
by Beth Sorrell This is delicious with chicken and rice or just chips!

by Beth Sorrell My first watermelon of the season deserves some special treatment! This is summer in a bowl for me. So easy and delicious.
Tangy Coleslaw
by Beth Sorrell It’s too hot to cook so I grabbed that cabbage in the back of the fridge and went to town.
Zucchini and Yellow Squash Gratin
by Beth Sorrell One can't have too many summer squash recipe suggestions!
Summer Corn Salad
by Beth Sorrell This is kind of a mashup of two previous recipes. I love love love when corn is in season and usually shuck and cut the corn before cooking so it can do different things.
Zucchini Ribbon Salad
by Beth Sorrell WOW! This is so refreshing. I found this recipe in an America’s Test Kitchen cookbook. I like the way they develop a recipe and always post Why This Works before each one. The trick here is to peel the zucchini and/or summer squash lengthwise and turn it each time so you peel the veg and stop when you get the the seeds.
Corn, Tomato, and Avocado Salad
by Beth Sorrell This is the perfect dinner or side dish when corn is in season!
Creamy Dill Pickle Dressing
by Beth Sorrell This stuff is addictive and will be incredible when we are up to our ears in cucumbers.
Summer Lasagna
by Beth Sorrell I make variations of this all summer long as we have zucchini and squash in abundance.
Chicken Miso Meatballs
This dish could not be easier! I cut one onion and two peppers into strips, then cooked them in a Dutch oven with the sausage.
Spiral Sausage with Peppers and Onions
This dish could not be easier! I cut one onion and two peppers into strips, then cooked them in a Dutch oven with the sausage.
Know Your Greens!
We are greens heavy these days at the CSA. We wanted to share a few pictures (for identification) and advice.
Strawberry Cobbler
Normally I will just eat strawberries by themselves, but I accidentally squished these so cobbler it is!
Pan Roasted Bok Choy with Miso Soy
This would be amazing with beef or fish. The bok choy is wonderful cold too, so this is perfect for meal prep.
Simple Roasted Asparagus
Simple. Perfect. Delicious.
Chorizo and Black Bean Lettuce Cups
When we get gorgeous lettuce like this, I like to use the leaves as a cup for food. This was super easy to come together since I cook my black beans in large batches and freeze them in 1.5 cup bags. I also made an avocado crema that is so fresh on everything.
Kale Salad with Basil Vinaigrette and Mozzarella
This will be incredible when tomatoes are in season, but for now, it’s super fresh alongside oven roasted chicken.
Quick Carrot Salad with Pesto
Pesto goes a long way in a simple salad of carrots,
Ground Chicken and Bok Choy Bowl
I made this dish because I love bok choy! It’s dubbed a superfood because bok choy is full of selenium which helps clear toxins from the body. This plus it’s a great source of vitamin C. Also I forgot to use the mushrooms from last week and found that if you pulse mushrooms in the food processor, they blend in with any ground meat!
Butternut Squash Soup
I first made this super easy squash soup one night when I had no idea what I was going to feed my family for dinner, and then...
Spaghetti Squash with Chorizo and Black Beans
Remember all that spaghetti Squash I cooked? Here’s what I did with the other half of it. This was just as easy as the pesto and even better: it’s a one pan meal!
Refried Black Beans
Beer Cheese Cornbread
I have been wanting to make something like this for a while, but every time I found a recipe it had a ton of butter on it. I swapped a few things in a recipe and not only did it work, but the crumb is perfect.
Two-Meat Chili with Black Beans and Roasted Sweet Potato
This may be my best chili recipe! While reading several chili recipes I saw one author state that 3 tbsp cornmeal and 1 can of beer gave their chili thickness and depth. They were correct!
Stuffed Mushrooms
I always trying new ways to use veggies in my fridge. I had a lot of cremini mushrooms so I decided to stuff them with Fair Shares ingredients.
Slow-Cooker Kabocha Squash Soup
Wow this was easy!! All I did was cut 2 squash in half and scoop the seeds out. Then I Jenga-ed the pieces in my slow cooker.
Cabbage, Potato, & Polish Sausage One Pot Meal
AKA one of my fave comfort meals of all time! Sometimes I forget about veg in my fridge. I found a cabbage that had been in a drawer for a while and then thought about the potatoes staring at me growing extra eyes all I needed was an onion, polish sausage, and a bit of chicken broth to make this dish.
Oat Breakfast Bars
These are not super sweet so they are perfect for an on-the-go breakfast. They are great for other times in the day as well.
Roasted Cauliflower
This is super easy and very versatile. You can use different seasonings but seriously, when you can get this amazing seasoning in your share, what are you waiting for? I’m gonna put this stuff on everything!
Acorn Squash Curry
I was making a Dogtown Pizza the other night and decided to roast the squash at the same time and it worked beautifully. You can use any winter squash here.
Homemade Healthy Dog Food
Yep! You heard that right. We feed ourselves wholesome food so why not give the best member of the family the same using Fair Shares ingredients. It’s easy, delicious, and so much cheaper than store-bought.
Roasted Sweet Potato Chili
Roasted sweet potatoes are the best addition to chili! The sweetness of the potatoes makes the spicy of the chili really pop, and the texture is a great addition. And the color--come on!
Oatmeal
Breakfast of champions! Who doesn’t love a great bowl of oatmeal when you can add so much good stuff to it? I always make enough oatmeal for several days and just refrigerate it.
