I had two recipe requests yesterday while folks were picking up their shares. First - what was I going to do with my Delicatta Squash - so here is a recipe I tried last night (and I've listed the website I got the recipe from). It was really good - 3 out of 5 family members liked it (pretty good for our house).
The other request I had was what do I do with Kohlrabi. My all time favorite dish is a slaw from Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. I've listed it below. This one we all love!
Squash with Herbs
Ingredients:2 medium winter squash (about 2 pounds)3 tablespoons butter1/4 cup fresh sage, chopped1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped1 1/2 cups apple cider or juice1 cup water2 teaspoons wine or herb vinegar1 teaspoon saltfreshly ground pepper to taste
If using delicata squash, peel it with a vegetable peeler, then cut it lengthwise in half, and scrape out the seeds. Cut each piece in half again lengthwise, then crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Other squash should be peeled, seeded, cut into 1x 1/2 inch pieces. Melt the butter in a large skillet over low heat. Add the sage and rosemary and cook until the butter just begins to turn color-3to5minutes.Add the squash to the skillet, then the apple cider, water, vinegar, and salt. Cook stirring occasionally, over medium heat at an even boil until the cider has boiled down to a glaze and the squash is tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Taste and season with pepper and additional salt if needed.

Hi Paula,
Great site. I may have used the wrong vegetables--I was thinking the guord like things were pumpkins so I made pulp for pumpkin bread and roasted the seeds. Is my pumpkin bread really going to be delicatta squash bread?
WHat does kohlrabi look like?
PS The kids loved the kiwiberries!

The guord like things were/are Delicatta Squash. I made some bread with one and it turned out great - flavor is a bit milder than pumpkin but in the same family.
Kohlrabi is kinda ugly - little round green thing with leaf stems shooting out of the sides. They were in the order 2 weeks ago, and someone had not figured out what to do with them yet - so I posted a recipe for her.
Glad the Kiwi Berries were a hit!
how funny - I've got delicotta squash here from 2 pd deliveries ago and did a general internet search, and looks like I turned up another pd'er :) Thanks for the recipe, will try it when I pick up some more cider!
