10 Reasons to Buy Local Food
The following post was written by nutritioulicious™ intern Jo Bartell
It always makes me happy to wander through the farmers market, even on a day when I don’t have time to actually shop. Today, I walked through the market in Union Square on the way to class to look at all of the delicious fruits and vegetables. I stopped at the main booth at the market to check out the featured recipes, and instead I found this great list of “10 Reasons to Buy Local Food.” I know that it is idealistic to think that everyone ca… read more »
Spiced Delicata Squash with Pears
The following post was written by nutritioulicious™ intern Jo Bartell
As the fall sets in, I start to crave squash (well, I always crave squash), and I love that so many varieties of winter squash are at the farmers market, the grocery store, and in all the cooking magazines! One pretty and yummy winter squash that I sometimes forget about is the delicata squash. If you’ve never seen a delicata squash, it’s about the size of a large potato. The outside is cream colored with thin dark green vertical strip… read more »
Apple Butternut Squash Soup
Over the past few weeks I have been busy making soups and stews using CSA ingredients, and today I have the final soup recipe (for now!)! Last year I posted my recipe for a more traditional version of butternut squash soup, and while I don’t like to post two of the same recipe, I came across a different one that I just had to make. The original recipe, Butternut Squash & Apple Cider Bisque, was recommended by GourmetGirlMagazine.com. When I saw the recipe I knew I needed to make some tweaks to mak… read more »
White Bean and Kale Soup
Now that the cool, crisp fall weather is here, I am always in the mood for meals that will warm me up. People often gravitate toward so-called comfort foods when the cold weather hits, but many of those foods are full of fat and too high in calories for an average meal. So instead of feasting on heavy meals that may warm the belly but also make it expand, I often make soups that are light, yet filling and satisfying.
Recently I had a bunch of kale from my CSA and instead of making kale chips like I have in the past,… read more »
Sweet Potato and Tofu Thai Curry
Some of the recent CSA ingredients I have received include sweet potatoes, collard greens, Swiss chard, and butternut squash. So don’t be surprised when these foods are the stars of the next few recipes I post! The first one up is a curry that I made using sweet potatoes and collard greens. I found a Cooking Light recipe from 1999 that sounded good and I tweaked it to use what I had on hand. The original recipe called for leeks, butternut squash, serrano chiles, and a couple of other items I didnR… read more »
