The Obligatory RECIPE Thread!

[Ruth]

Ahhhhhh, subtle differences in terminology. What you are calling pumpkin, we call squash. And it is usually not a problem to find a butternut squash at the grocery store. Amazingly, although I live in "farm country" in the North Central US (NW Indiana to be precise) I have not found any farmer's markets during the winter months, and if I want to purchase organic food, I must drive quite a good distance. And yes, by legumes I meant any sort of beans.

I cook crock pot meals fairly often - and occasionally find that the high setting works well if it's going to be a short day, or if I don't get the food put in early enough.

Thanks again for sharing!
