Does anyone have a recommended recipe for saag paneer? Mostly the saag-- I'm making my own paneer.
thanks!

I spent last weekend oven-drying and freezing a bushel of Roma tomatoes. I'm now debating whether to mess up the kitchen this coming weekend making and canning pasta sauce.

The potato/kale gratin was delicious!
try it!

My dilemma: I have to bake dozens of cut out cookies (in various shapes) for a baby shower.

Does anyone have a good recipe for a delicious cut-out cookie? Im hoping to do 2 or 3 different recipes for the party favor bag.

Take a regular sugar cookie recipe and add a spice to the dough (ground cinnamon, ginger, pumpkin spice)

I have a large bowl of mashed up acorn squash (with spices mixed in) in my fridge and I'm not sure what to do with it. Soup? I've heard of squash pizza, but not sure how to make it. Any other creative things I can do with it before I just freeze it?

For the blue potatoes, my favourite thing to do with them is to make a french-style potato salad. I boil or roast them (depends on mood), then dress them in good olive oil or hempseed oil, with some salt, pepper, and a mixture of large quantities of fresh herbes. I really like to use parsley, mint, tarragon and thyme for this.

Man, you guys are killing me. I miss my kitchen. A lot.
