I may not like butternut squash, but I've still used 5 of them! I plan to bring butternut squash soup to every single potluck I attend for the next few months. :-P I'm glad I stocked up on exotic pumpkin varieties, I like them much more than butternut. :-) Unfair!

My husband thinks I'm just web surfing, too. I have to say, "It's research, m'kay." And a squash point! WooHoo! I think I'm going to try some pumpkin buckwheat muffins. I have some local buckwheat flour I need to use, and the bread just didn't work for me ;). I think we should have a sister challenge to see how many creative uses we can come up with using pumpkin ;). Loved the write up ;). My husband thinks I’m just web surfing, too.

We also had arugula and fennel salad made with local fennel, onion, arugula, and cheese. Non-local ingredient: olive oil. Very tasty! I’m a bit late, but here is my report:

I love reading about what everybody is doing and checking out some of the blogs. Too bad I didn't mention the delicata squash I cooked earlier in the week... I filled it with butter, local honey, salt & pepper and baked it in the oven and my husband liked it! He liked it!! He liked it!!! That's a first. Of course, I did use a LOT of honey. :) Great write-up! I love reading about what everybody is doing and checking out some of the blogs.

Fabulous write up, Kim. I really enjoyed reading about everyone's meals, and I look forward to visiting all the blogs over the next week. One of my zero miles earned squash points with the butternut squash stuffed with zucchini hash--I was tempted to name it Summer meets Fall. I have to admit that I prefer butternut squash soup to plain roast butternut, especially when I add a nice dollop of sour cream. I do love a nice stuffed acorn squash though...hmmm...maybe this week. Can't wait to hear all about the food in Italy! Thanks ladies and all who are putting such inspiring effort into the challenge! Brava! Fabulous write up, Kim.
