In an effort to branch out and try some new foods, while supporting our local farmers and also getting some organic veggies, we ordered a CSA box<\/a> to try this week.

It is some type of squash, I’m sure. But what do I do with it?<\/p>\n Look what we picked up yesterday… Needless to say, it caused great excitement around the house.
