Someone mentioned a website where you tell it what foods you have in the house and it suggests recipes using those ingredients. I’m hoping someone can point me to that link again ( Read more... )

I'm thinking of trying boston organics now that farmshare season is over. Everyone I know who does it likes it a lot.

Sadly, I can't remember that website for recipe suggestions. Most of the stuff on your list will keep a while, though, so don't rush to eat it all!

Yes, everything but the kale keeps for quite a while, and the kale from last week seems to be hanging in there. But much of the rest of the stuff has already been in my house for 3-4 weeks and needs to get et.

my friend fitfool posted this butternut and apple recipe http://fitfool.livejournal.com/243990.html. I didn't try it yet, but it looks good.

Kale chips are very tasty and easy (the web should provide a recipe)

I make squash kibbe and a squash casserole from moosewood called chilean squash (the former is under my recipe tag, the other might be too) with butternut.

Thank you so much for sending me in search of your recipe tag. I hadn't used that feature before and hadn't realized how much tasty stuff you had accumulated in there.

The butternut and apple recipe looks delicious but sweet -- rather like a blend between an apple pie and pumpkin pie, without the crust. I'm more looking for entrees at the moment, but I'll definitely have to try it.

I've heard people rave about kale chips before, but haven't been able to wrap my brain around the concept. Sounds like I should give them a try ...

Funny! Just this morning, I was suggesting to S. that we do this from January-April.

Also, may I suggest a big pot of squash and apple bisque?

Good suggestion, given the ingredients list. But I made it a couple weeks ago and couldn't persuade R. that it was food ...

Is it still around? I'm not remembering my reaction, which suggests that I should engage again.

If it were still around 2-3 weeks later it really wouldn't be food!

I called it pumpkin-apple soup. You said the flavors were "interesting" and turned down seconds.

I swear by Yummly and its FoodFinder tool, which I sang the praises of this aummer! (With a few caveats, mostly cosmetic.)

Also, I'm sorry I haven't called! I keep getting sidetracked, argh. Will try to check in with you soon!

Thanky! That's exactly what I was dimly remembering.

And no worries about not calling ... I feel like I've hardly been at home these last few days. All good, but life is busy!

Meanwhile, my house has zero squash, potatoes, onions, or kale -- and I told my Thanksgiving hostess that I'd handle the veggies. Before I go out and buy such things, would you consider making a small donation in kind, and we can figure out (perhaps over email rather than LJ) how to turn this into a barter of sorts (e.g., would you like one of my apple cakes, which you've enjoyed before?) :-)
