One of our favorite winter salads is coleslaw. We had a really good cabbage harvest this year – red and green alike, so we are still eating this from our own garden. Cabbage is a good keeper and we had 2 in the fridge just waiting for good things to happen to them. We also had a few garden leeks lurking in the produce drawer and they make a great substitute for green onions when you want a little flavor but not the strong taste of regular chopped onions....

Need a quick meal to put on the table while you’re ‘busy’ doing holiday preparations? This dish is a great way to ‘re-purpose’ leftover chili if you have about 4 cups from a previous meal.

It’s that time of year when the weather turns chilly and winter squash is on the menu. Obviously it’s right after the plentiful harvest but the body seems to need that filling substance to warm itself and feel satisfied after a hard day’s work. Since we don’t cook a turkey, and would miss the stuffing dearly, we especially like to stuff some winter squash and have a little gravy to top it off. Here’s a recipe we use that reminds me of what my mother used to put...
