SUGGESTED MENU
Harvest Salad with Field Greens
Herb Roasted Turkey Breast
SQUASH KNOWLEDGE
Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash
• 1 lb. peeled squash = 1 cup cooked, and 1 lb. squash = 2 to 3 servings
Sauteed Brussels Sprouts
• Squash is grouped into summer squash or winter squash, depending on whether they are harvested as immature fruit (summer squash) or mature fruit (winter squash).
Pumpkin Crème Brulée
•
EDWARD’S EXTRA!
Any type of mashed
squash can be used in
the place of canned
pumpkin in soups, pies,
cookies or breads.
All squash seeds are edible and delicious to eat. Prepare them as you would your pumpkin seeds. Try additional seasonings on your squash or pumpkin seeds. Cajun seasoning, soy sauce and garlic salt are some of the many possibilities.
• The yellowest spaghetti squash will be the ripest. Spaghetti squash that are more white are not very ripe. Larger spaghetti squash are more flavorful than smaller ones.
Because the rind makes
most squash difficult to
peel, it’s easier to cook
the unpeeled squash,
and then scoop out the
cooked flesh.
• One 4oz. serving of squash provides 20% or more of your recommended daily value of magnesium, potassium, and vitamins A, C and E (vitamin E is found in the seeds).
EDWARD’S EXTRA!
Toasting walnuts is easy! Take your walnuts and place them on a baking sheet.
Place the walnuts in the oven and bake them at 350° for 5 to 10 minutes. Make
sure you keep an eye on them until they are done so that they don’t burn. This
procedure works well with pine nuts, almonds and almost any nut out there!

3 acorn squash, halved, seeded
2 tablespoons butter

down. Fill the baking sheet with 1/2 inch of water. Bake the squash
for 40 minutes. Drain off any remaining water. While the squash is
baking, melt the butter in a large skillet. Cook the onion and apple
in the butter until the onion has softened. Scrape mixture into a
bowl to cool until the squash has finished baking. Once the squash
is done, stir remaining ingredients into the apple mixture. Turn the
squash cut side up on the baking sheet and fill with apple mixture.

The UPS Store recently received a call from a lady who was
frantic. She explained she was the executor of an estate, and
part of her duties were to distribute a 32 piece set of bone china
to an heir in California, and a very large (55x4x36) wood framed
piece of art to an heir in Florida. She told the UPS clerk that the
US Post office told her it needed to be packed before it could be
shipped, and she did not have the materials or the expertise to
do that. She next went to a big box office store that rhymes with
“Maples” and they told her they have packing service. When the
store that rhymes with “Maples” saw the size and complexity of
the packing job, they admitted it was beyond their scope and
recommended they call the UPS Store. She was much relieved
when they quickly gave her an estimate. When she brought her
items to the store they explained how they were going to pack
her items, showing her the materials they would use, and how
they would provide safety in transit she was expecting. She was
much relieved she found the UPS Store and sent them a “thank
you” note after the items arrived safely at their destinations.
A regular shipping customer asked if UPS provided printing
services. The UPS clerk told her they did, and they asked to
describe the project she was inquiring about. She told them
she went to the store whose name used to rhyme with “Stinkos”
and had an 80 page 30 sets of a presentation printed on 3 hole
paper. The store printed the job with the holes on the right side
of the page; she needed the holes on the left side. The store
whose name used to rhyme with “Stinkos” told her the re-do
would not be completed for 2 days. She needed it in 1 day for
a seminar she was holding. The UPS Store completed the job
2 hours earlier than our estimated time, and the customer was
pleased, not only with their prompt service, but the fact that we
got the holes on the left side, and they were 15% cheaper than
the store whose name rhymed with “Stinkos”.
