Well, the harvest is complete and most of the veggies have been canned or frozen for the winter. The pantry looks pretty good and we have lots of soups to savor when it’s cold and bitter outside! But, we also have many pounds of winter squash and sweet potatoes strewn about on the floor (we don’t have a basement or root cellar to store them in). I’ve already canned up lots of squash soup and I have many gallons of puree in the freezer. Unfortunately, I really don’t know what else to do with these veggies other than pies. I’ve found a few yummy recipes on the internet that I’ve already tried, but I would love to hear some of your favorites! Can you help me build my file of recipes? Feel free to leave it in the comments, or if you post it on your blog, be sure to leave a link.
I just posted a squash millet bake today, that is mighty yummy.

Thank you both! I just froze 7 gallons of sweet potatoes, So I’m sure I will be trying many new recipes!
i’m not sure if you are vegetarian or not, but i just made this the other day and it was super yum: http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/food/recipes/spicy-chicken-dates-and-butternut-squash/
i have recipes for sweet potato muffins and sweet potato-bacon biscuits, but what i’d do is slice them up like ranch fries and freeze ’em. also i love subbing sweet potatoes for regular ones in potato salad, or chopping them in big cubes and roasting them along with parsnips and carrots in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, honey, and herbs. super yum. sweet potatoes are my favorite food ever :)))
