Fall Recipe Connection: Savory Greek Sausage Stuffed Autumn Squash

November 4th, 2011 · 30 Comments · Recipes

I was thinking about a sausage-stuffed squash recipe for a few weeks. Twitter wouldn’t cough one up for me, and I never got around to a good Google search (or Swagbucks search, actually), so finally I just decided to make one up. It’s rare that I start from square one on a recipe; usually my [...]

Dear Mr. Pollan, It was refreshing to hear you speak tonight on small vs. large farms, sustainable agriculture and moving our society to real, unprocessed foods instead of the crazy products you carried into the Wharton Center in Meijer bags.
