Fall bounty

As a Halloween baby, it figures that I own pumpkin cookware such as a pumpkin-shaped spatula and cookie cutters…but now I get to add a pumpkin pot to the list! A Le Creuset pumpkin pot!  This turned into a delicious fall meal: pot pie and a collard green salad!

Veggie pasta

The theme for everyone post-holidays seems to be veggies-veggies-veggies!  In that same vein, we picked up a bunch of veggies that we like and turned them into a satisfying pasta dinner.

Meatballs turned fancy

We were inspired by a NYTimes recipe and our huge CSA share of collards…and a small craving for meat =)

Curry, part II: potato, collards, and chickpeas

With more potatoes as well as collards begging to be eaten, we came back to this tasty and satisfying curry.  Served with the great Kasteel beer this was delicious!

Kabocha and collards curry

Turns out kabocha squash gets its Asian name for a reason (Japanese for pumpkin).   We found it delicious, especially when farm fresh and mixed with other fall vegetables in a rich green curry.
