My wife and I have been receiving deliveries from our CSA for over a year. Every Thursday we get a fresh collection of vegetables.

This week:
Eggplant, butternut squash, sweet corn, okra, greens, cucumbers, zucchini, jalapeno and other hot peppers, lima beans



A pasta and stuffed acorn squash seems like a great meal tonight:

Boil water and add pasta, cook as directed

Heat olive oil over medium heat
Saute 1/4 cup of chopped garlic (I like large thin slices for these pastas) for 2-3 minutes

When beginning to brown, saute 1 red bell pepper, roughly chopped
Add 1 zucchini, quartered lengthwise and roughly chopped
Add 1 cup of finely chopped spinach
First quarter, then slice one large tomato thinly, add to vegetables
I did not season with salt or pepper













Steam 2 acorn squash for about 20 minutes, until the skin is soft
Saute 1 Tbsp of chopped garlic and three small jalapenos in olive oil
Add 1 cup lima beans over low heat for about 10 minutes
Add juice of 1 lime and cook for another 5 minutes
Remove from heat and add 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered and kernels of one ear of corn

Remove squash from heat, carve the tops off
Remove the seeds
Scoop out the remaining meat of the squash
Add to the bean mixture

Mix well
Season if desired

Place an even amount of the mixture into both squash "shells"
Place in oven for 10 minutes at 275°

Yum!
