What’s for Dinner?
As I was unpacking my Hood River Organic CSA box, and saw the gorgeous, just harvested portabella mushrooms, I knew it would be a scrumptious week. These, and a type of squash I’ve never tried (buttercup…I’ve since learned it’s the cousin to butternut!)…it is really like Christmas! Even if you don’t belong to a CSA, pick a veggie or two that looks intriguing, and explore its underestimated possibilities. I think you’ll be surprised and delighted! And don’t forget about winter Saturdays at the Portland Farmers Market!
