I figured that I'd write AF a letter or call this time. If I write, I'll CC the host church. Not sure if AF will do anything about it. Shrug. Luckily, I know how to cook, and I was able to salvedge the chicken for presentation purposes

With 2 sig boxes and 2 produce boxes (and already have some onions and quite a bit of spuds already on hand) we are also in a glut. I forsee lots of mashed potatoes, oven fries, Sheppard's pie in my future. Even with a larger family, we have alot right now!

I have 2 apple pies now in the oven, using older apples still on hand (today's delivery provided alot of fresh apples) and the apple pie spice packets from the signature boxes-something I normally do not buy. I noted that there is a nice clove and cinnamon spice blend in this seasoning. Perfect combo!

CTMOMto4:

I'd just peel the squash and microwave/bake/boil/steam it. It will come out fine!

Do you recommend any seasoning or butter?

I don't think I added anything the last time I made it but I was cooking for my daughter when she was toddler. She may find that bland now.

Back when I used to order from Home Bistro they had pureed winter squash seasoned with a little Maple syrup. It was great with pork.

I buy the frozen Birds Eye winter squash and if I add a little Maple syrup to it it tastes just like the squash from Home Bistro.

I have troubles cutting fresh acorn squash or butternut squash. That's why I use the frozen squash. I get it at Harris Teeter and at Walmart.

Have you ever baked acorn squash with a little whole berry cranberry sauce ? It's really good.

I never thought of using whole berry cranberry sauce with squash. I'm hungry thinking about it. Thanks for the idea.

We had the Angel Food turkey burgers for lunch today. I Pam sprayed my cooktop flat grill and seared them. Cooked until golden on both sides (I had thawed them out ahead of time). I was surprised that there is no breading in these, just turkey, salt, pepper, spices. These came out really well. I served them on toasted sesame seeded Kaiser buns, with assorted condiments. Side of canned baked beans. Very happy with them. I had 2 signature boxes, so I cooked all 8 (Family of 6 here), having the twins share one (they were quite large). I now have 3 precooked burgers for sandwich offerings this upcoming school/work week. DD has already asked for one to be slivered and used in a wrap sandwich. : )

I fixed the steaks last night and threw most of the vegetables, including the squash, into the oven for roasting.  I cut the squash in half and scooped out the seeds; then turned it over and sliced it like you would an orange.  The other half, I peeled first (no small feat), then cubed it which turned out the easiest way to eat - but both ways tasted great.  I had sprinkled a little oil over it all, then roasted it in a stoneware pan at 425 degrees 'til sorta carmelized. 

Lol, I even put some cabbage wedges into the roasting pan - it came out tasting like....cabbage.  Which I love, but I think I like it stewed or fried better.  I put several of the carrots on to roast and even the leftover sweet potatoes from last month, some white potatoes, a red pepper I had on hand and a few of the A/F onions, the huge ones.  Everything was gobbled up.  It seems if I roast it, they'll eat it...Liz.

I am making the pork chops tonight. I am preparing cabbage on rice as the side dish. I may slice up some apples to go as a a side dish. Both my daughter and I like apples with pork chops and cabbage.
