At the Farmstand: January 18-24

‘Tis the season for colorful root veggies and treats that have been canned and frozen and the farmstand is abundant with them! The long siege of sub-zero weather took a toll on our hoophouse greens so this will not be the most abundant January for fresh greens. But as the days get longer and sunnier, […]

Pumpkin Soufflé

  Fancy appearance, yet really easy.  And a fun, light treat.  They are pitched as dessert, but they are so light they could be anytime.  Or you could go purely savory with a carrot soufflé. (And use the entire egg!)   1.5 cups pumpkin purée (or squash purée) 1/4 cup maple syrup 1 tsp each of […]

Zanahorias Aliñadas (Marinated Carrots)
