Squash and C.S.A donations

Lowe's Garden Center on Chillicothe has been donating unclaimed produce leftover from the Geauga Family C.S.A. to the pantry. At this time of year it's mostly acorn squash and kohlrabi with some root vegetables, apples, Swiss chard and other greens. I’ve never actually prepared acorn squash and I’ve never eaten kohlrabi but here’s a suggestions especially for the squash. I’ll be sure to try it with the butternut squash in my cupboard. Thanks to my mum’s friend Laurie for the suggestion!

*The amount of seasoning is really up to your discretion, you could use either fresh or dried herbs, but keep in mind a greater volume of fresh herbs is needed compared to dried because of water content in fresh herbs

Ingredients

Squash (any kind)

Olive oil

Salt

Pepper

Parsley (or any other herb/seasoning you would like to try)

Brush with olive oil and lay in casserole dish overlapping

*She says you can do this with kohlrabi and root vegetables as well. A couple people at the pantry also suggested to my mum that kohlrabi is also good raw (just peel and slice) and the kohlrabi tops can be cooked like any other greens.
