Stuffed Pumpkin

This was our favorite discovery of last winter…yes our friends and family ALL got to see it at any occasion we could think of while the Winter Luxury Pumpkins lasted. Yes, it is that good and that easy! We meant to try it with a Long Pie pumpkin as well, going more boat shaped, but….never […]

Pumpkin & Bacon Soup

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 […]

Pumpkin Chorizo Lasagna

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!

Squash Cornbread

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 […]

Pumpkin Cheesecake from American Flatbread

This recipe was shared by Jeremy Silansky (when he was  American Flatbread’s chef, now at Skinny Pancake, Montpelier) in a Food & Wine Magazine article eating local in winter.  When you cook the delicious long pie pumpkins, there is enough for soup, roasting and dessert!   “Jeremy Silansky borrowed this recipe from American Flatbread pastry chef Hannah Yerks, […]
