Chilly mornings and hot afternoons make for a wonderful summer-autumn mix of produce for the CSA. 

In the box this week:

  • Galia melon
  • Head lettuce
  • Red beets
  • Onions (red, yellow, and cippolini)
  • Delicata squash
  • Sweet corn

Roasted Delicata Squash

Cut delicata squash in half. Brush olive oil or melted butter on the inside of the squash. Choose your favorite herb to sprinkle on top, add some salt and pepper, and roast in the oven for about 30-45 min at 375* or until soft. You can eat the skin, flesh and seeds.
