Cooler Weather Cooking
by Linda Dansbury

Cooler evenings spur the desire to cook more warming meals and get things in the freezer for enjoyment during the winter. A couple of ways I used my veggies are below.

Peppers, garlic, herbs - made roasted peppers. Grilled the peppers, when cool, removed some of the skin and cut into slices. Sliced garlic and chopped some herbs. Mixed with good olive oil and a couple drops of balsamic vinegar. These will keep in fridge for up to a month.

Tomatoes, onion, hot pepper, herbs - made a large batch of salsa, and canned it so can enjoy all year long.

Winter squash, onion, garlic - made a pumpkin soup - this time I made it in a Thai theme so added ginger, red curry paste and coconut milk. So yummy.
