Recipes of the Week - October 31st

Sometime Farmer Sue's recipes for our picnic @ the farm made with Catalpa Ridge Farm ingredients:

Squash Quiche (makes 2 quiches)

2 c. winter squash, peeled & cubed
1 c. cottage cheese
2 eggs
1/2 c. milk
1/4 tsp. pumpkin spice
2 graham cracker pie shells

In a pan with a small amount of water, cook the squash for about 10 minutes or till tender. Drain.
In a blender, mix together cottage cheese & eggs till smooth. Add squash & milk and blend till smooth.
Divide the mixture equally into 2 graham cracker crust pie shells & bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes. Sprinkle with pumpkin spice!
(I made this the night before & then warmed it up on the campfire - It was a hit!)

Squash & Carrot Quick Pie (makes 2 pies)
2 c winter squash, peeled & cubed
1 c fresh carrots, cleaned & sliced
2 c of light cream
4 eggs
2 cups of shredded cheese (I used mozzarella, provolone combination)
2 graham cracker pie shells
In a pan with a small amount of water, cook the squash for about 10 minutes or till tender. Drain.
In a blender, mix together the squash & carrots and blend until smooth. Add the light cream & eggs and blend until same consistency. In 2 graham cracker pie shells divide the shredded cheese equally between the two, then top it with the squash mixture. Bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes. (I made this the night before & then warmed it up on the campfire - another hit!)
