Veggie Notes:

• Delicata Squash – cut in half, scoop out seeds, skin is edible; roasted, stuffed, soup, chili
• Sweet Corn – grilled in the husk, cornbread, chowder, freeze
• Yukon Gold potato – scrub, no need to peel, all purpose -roasted, fried, boiled, mashed, soup
• Summer squash – yellow & zucchini – very versatile; raw, grilled, pickled, quick bread, sauté, oodles of zoodles; baked stuffed boats
• Eggplant: purple Japanese eggplant-grill, stir-fry
• Tomato – ripen from the inside out and will continue to ripen on the countertop and allow to ripen at room temperature for best flavor; cook ripe tomatoes, add to sautés, sauces, salads,
• Jalapeno – add to pickles; slice and freeze; the heat is in the seeds and white pith -use gloves to remove and don’t touch your eyes
