DELICATA SQUASH WITH ROSEMARY, SAGE, AND CIDER GLAZE

2006-03-25T12:16:00.000-08:00

Searching the internet I found this delicious way to cook winter squash. You peel, and slice it, then cook it in a skillet with cider and winter herbs. When most of the liquid boils away, the cider forms a tart-sweet glaze around the now-tender squash. Delicata is a wonderfully firm-textured squash that's not too sweet and almost like a potato. Other varieties like acorn, turban, or kabocha

Here's a trick I learned from a friend to turn ordinary green olives into AMAZING green olives.Take any size jar of green olives and drain the "juice." Dump the olives into a bowl (keep the jar!) and cover them with olive oil.

Disclaimer: Even those who shiver at the thought of cold soup have raved after they try it! Pair it with a nice crusty french bread.Chop or puree veggies. (You can puree half of the batch to make it smoother, I like it chunky ...

Herbed SalmonHere is a delicious recipe for you, my ex-MIL gave me this recipe, and it is delicious! Serve it with some wild rice pilaf or something... maybe some asparagus. Speaking of which, if you can find Haus Barhyte Dill Mustard, it makes an excellent sauce for asparagus and for salmon if you just poach it.Haus Barhyte is an Oregon company, no wonder it's so good- but you can order it
