Orzo with Vegetables, Blistered Cherry Tomatoes, and Goat Cheese

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add orzo and cook 8 minutes. Stir in sugar snap peas and edamame; let water return to a boil and then cook 2 additional minutes.

Bean and Pasta Soup

In a large pot, heat oil and brown meat. Add onion, carrot, and celery and sauté 4-5 minutes. Add garlic, oregano, and basil and sauté 2 more minutes. Add stock, tomatoes, and cannellini beans. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer 10-15 minutes.

Turkey Meatloaf

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. 

Root Vegetable Mash

Set oven to 400 degrees. Wash and cut turnips in half. Rub with olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil. Peel sweet potatoes and rub with olive oil and cover with aluminum foil. Put both into the oven until easily pierced with a fork (about 45 minutes).

Potato and Vegetable Cakes

Wash vegetables and grate.  Combine in a small mixing bowl with egg and flour. After all ingredients are mixed, shape the mixture in small patties. Place on a hot pan with oil and cook each one until each side is golden brown.

Pumpkin Ravioli

In a medium bowl, stir together the pumpkin, cheese, sugar, salt, and nutmeg. Have a platter or baking sheet and a small bowl of water ready.

Sweet & Sour Winter Slaw

Stack the leaves of kale and roll them the long way into a cigar-like tube. Using a chef’s knife, slice across the tube of leaves to create long, thin ribbons. Do the same with the bok choy leaves. Slice the stems into matchsticks.

Roasted Butternut Squash with Apples and Cranberries

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients until squash and fruit are covered. Place in a 13"x 9" baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and roast for another 10-15 minutes or until done.
