  • Eggs: not mentioned in this week’s update from John, but assuming yes

For those with half shares, this is “A” week.

Serving Suggestions:

• I’ve never tried cooking the mini pumpkins we get occasionally from the CSA. I liked John’s suggestion to cook them after displaying them for a bit, so I shared some recipe links below:
  • Savory: Mushroom stuffed mini pumpkins
  • Sweet: Baked mini pumpkins with cinnamon sugar
  • If you don’t cook your pumpkins, keep an eye on the I Love Living in the Caldwells Facebook group in a few weeks. A few members are often looking for pumpkins to use for feeding their animals.
• Just in case you don’t read through the update, a note that the cranberry beans are to be shelled!
