September is an exciting time where summer veggies have not yet disappeared and winter veggies are starting to make their way in. It is just the stuff you need for of all sorts of colorful, flavorful and rich meals.
So this week as we continue to send you the usual summer suspects of sweet peppers, corn, hot peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, zucchini, lettuce, herbs and of course tomatoes, we will also be sending you the first WINTER SQUASH of the season.
It's hard to believe but we have 6 weeks left in the CSA! So for these last 6 weeks we will be offering a different squash each week in your CSA share. We're hoping you enjoy this opportunity to try lots of different winter squash varieties!
After a variety of squash has offered one week, extras of that squash variety will be available the following weeks in the 'extras' section on Harvie. So if you like a variety one week you will have the ability to purchase it again in the coming weeks. These squash will keep for a long time all through the winter, so don't be shy to add on your favorites!
This weeks squash is a fun favorite - SPAGHETTI SQUASH!
I like to eat this one like a fresh pasta. It can be served with sauce, but my favorite way is with butter, olive oil, salt, pepper and either fresh parsley or dried herbs such as rosemary, thyme and sage.
Here is a great simple recipe for how to best prepare spaghetti squash: https://www.loveandlemons.com/how-to-cook-spaghetti-squash/
PS - just a heads up we will be offering some winter shares this season after the summer CSA ends, so keep your eyes out for an email from us soon about what will be offered and how to sign up!
