Quick Acorn Squash Tacos
This simple idea is to make your tacos as usual, but toss some acorn squash into the mix. Good stuff!
Ingredient: Beans
This little pile of gems is a collection of heirloom beans from Baer’s Best Beans.
It was suggested to me (and I love suggestions) that some of you might like to hear about the quick-soak method for how to get the garbanzos from bag to bowl relatively quickly in the event that you forgot to do an overnight soaking. Here is a good link to a fellow blogger’s description in case you ever need it.
Also, if you have a pressure cooker, you can shave even more time off with a “quicker-soaking” method! Just cover the beans in enough water to cover them and pressure cook them for 5 minutes. You then let the pressure release naturally, and then your beans are ready to cook. This method works with other beans & peas as well.
Recipes Using Beans
Chicken Quesadillas with Southwestern Salad
This one is very flexible in terms of seasonal ingredients. Shredded cheese and tortillas, maybe some sour cream and salsa and you’re good to go! Leave the chicken out for a vegetarian option, and use GF corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
Slow Cooker Chili
Easy and delicious slow cooker chili made from CSA pantry ingredients. Cubed squash, cabbage, or just about any other winter veggies you have kicking around would be a great addition!
