Pumpkin Soufflé

January 18, 2018 – 8:57 am

  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 […]

Pumpkin Chorizo Lasagna

February 26, 2013 – 3:06 pm

This recipe comes from a good friend of mine.  As long as I’ve known her, she’s had that god-given culinary instinct–she can throw seemingly random ingredients together, perform some alchemy in the skillet, and voila! Delicious dishes 24/7. She pulled this twist on the classic lasagna for the first time a few years ago, and […]

Squash Cornbread

December 5, 2012 – 9:54 am

Many folks asked for this recipe at Friday’s soup supper.  Liva was the cornbread maker and she is off to a 2 day conference with other Vermont Farmers about Hoophouse growing so I am substituting this recipe from the Victory Garden Cookbook which Jane Doerfer, of Brookfield’s Green Trails Inn, was a co-author.   I believe this was […]
