Roasted Pumpkin & Apple Soup Print Recipe The other day I decided to whip up some pumpkin puree -- how hard could that be, right? Nine pumpkins and three hours later, as our stomachs grumbled impatiently, I realized I had gallons of pumpkin puree and nothing for dinner.

The ingredients for this soup are simple and garden-base

Roasted Cauliflower & Garlic Soup Print Recipe Cauliflower is a cool season crop, so you can plant & harvest it in both the spring and fall. I grew it this spring, and although we got a couple small heads, the harvest was far from bountiful. I opted not to plant it again this fall, so the cauliflower in this recipe came from our local market. (I chose organic, as cauliflower is generally considered one of the dirtier veggies). Whether you’re growing it yourself or getting
