Fair Shares Overnight Oats
The texture of overnight oats is different from the cooked version, but still very satisfying, and you can heat them up quickly if you prefer them warm.
Enchilada Casserole
Layers of roasted chicken, squash, beans, cheese and sauce with tortillas. You can really add anything to this, as long as you have enough cheese and sauce, it will be delicious.
Monte Carlo Bars
When Lindy told me she made this recipe substituting Marina's Cranberry Chutney and pecans from Fair Shares, I have to admit, I had no idea what Monte Carlo Bars were. My mind went to the cocktail with rye, which sounds fine to me, and also the Monte Cristo sandwich, which is something completely different.
Rice with Mushrooms and Sausage
This may be the best thing I’ve made in a while! I had lions mane mushrooms, but any mushrooms will work here. I didn't have heavy cream so I used sour cream and quark--it worked beautifully! Don't be afraid to use what you have and sub out ingredients make it vegetarian by leaving out the sausage.
Winter Squash and Lentil Chili
A recipe is simply someone else’s idea of how to make something. I live by this quote. When I come up with a recipe for this group or any other recipe I will look at several different recipes and take parts of what I like and incorporate ingredients that I have. I rarely make a recipe as written. I hope you do this too. Swap out what you have in your share or your pantry.
Asian Lettuce Wraps
Whenever I pick up a lovey head of lettuce, I make this. It’s easy and delicious.
Chicken and Butternut Squash Thai Curry Stew
Warming and delicious.
Apple Chips
I have nothing against soft and chewy dehydrated apples, but once you've had a crispy, crunchy, snappy, flavorful homemade apple CHIP, you'll never be the same! Plus, the family will think you're a magician, turning unappetizing apples into the best thing they ever ate.
Beef Stew
by Beth Sorrell WOW! Sometimes the easiest recipe is the best. This is super versatile as well. You can play up the sweetness of the potatoes or make it savory with just a few changes.

Bison Meatloaf
by Beth Sorrell I usually double this recipe because I love it so much! Snow is on the way and this is the perfect dish for a winter meal.
African Peanut Stew
by Beth Sorrell This is traditionally made with sweet potatoes, but I love using butternut squash instead.
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!
Caramelized Cabbage Pasta with Pecans

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
by Beth Sorrell I really wanted to make paw paw bread because all the cool kids are doing it right now. Unfortunately only one of my paw paws were ripe enough...
Tomatillo Salsa
by Beth Sorrell This is delicious with chicken and rice or just chips!
Watermelon Salad
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!
