Was helping where and how I could today at the farm and Farm Fresh CSA Box…

So much to pick in the field:

Tomatoes; Romas; snacking tomatoes (cherry, yellow and pear); chili; Marconi peppers; broccoli; cauliflower; kohlrabi; Brussels sprouts; pickles; dill; cabbage and lots lots more! Just not enough daylight and can’t start picking until the dew dries some.

Oh, and a bajillion pumpkins and winter squash.

It’s soup season!

Made super tasty lentil soup for lunch….

Veggies from Farm Fresh CSA Box.

-a half of a bag of “burrito booster” made and froze last month): Italian Marconi peppers, a poblano, onion and cilantro ( why we love making these because they are so fast, easy and versatile. Oddly enough, I used the other half for breakfast making Tami an egg frittata).

Yes please~

We have butternut at Farm Fresh CSA Box….

Butternut Squash Hasselback with Whipped Feta, Cranberry Walnut Crunch & Hot Honey

Ingredients

For the Hasselback Butternut Squash:

1 large butternut squash, peeled, halved, and seeds removed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp pure maple syrup
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped

For the Whipped Feta:

6 oz (170 g) feta cheese
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

For the Cranberry Walnut Crunch:

1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
1/3 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
1 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Pinch of sea salt

For the Hot Honey:

3 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Pinch of sea salt

For Garnish (optional):

Fresh sage leaves
Fresh thyme
1 tbsp crumbled feta
Flaky sea salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the butternut squash halves cut-side down and make thin slices across each half, stopping before cutting all the way through. Use chopsticks or wooden spoons along each side as a guide.
Place the squash cut-side up on the baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and maple syrup, then season with cinnamon, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and chopped sage.
Roast for 35–40 minutes, brushing with the pan juices halfway through, until the squash is tender and the slices begin to fan open.
Meanwhile, blend the feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and black pepper until smooth and fluffy. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
For the cranberry walnut crunch, combine the walnuts, cranberries, maple syrup, panko, thyme, and salt in a small skillet. Cook over medium-low heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until toasted and crisp. Set aside.
Mix the honey, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and sea salt in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat for 1–2 minutes without boiling.
Spread the whipped feta onto a serving platter and place the roasted Hasselback squash over it.
Sprinkle generously with the cranberry walnut crunch, allowing some to fall between the squash slices.
Drizzle with hot honey and finish with fresh sage, thyme, crumbled feta, and flaky sea salt.
Serve warm while the squash is tender, the feta is creamy, and the walnut-cranberry topping remains crisp.

Do, what to do with left overs?

Easy peezy!!!!

Add veggies….

Had a roast we made yesterday, then add veggies.

Sauté a poblano pepper and white onion (from Farm Fresh CSA Box), shred the rest of the roast to make street tacos.

Then…

The last two ears of sweet corn….to make “street corn”….add in little more onion, sauté in a little butter; add lime juice then load it up with Pueblo chili powder, smoked paprika and feta cheese. (Sorry, I’m a no mayo guy on my street corn. I hate mayonnaise! I use sour cream and/or cream cheese).

Lastly, peels some salad slicing pickles, added lime juice and tajin.

A very tasty lunch indeed~

Added thinly sliced brisket became a very tasty Philly cheesesteak sandwich.

Then…

The meat that was left added to scrambled eggs became a tasty duo of breakfast burritos : )
