Creamy Braised Beet Greens is a great way to use greens that are a bit more on the tough, bitter side. Braising softens them perfectly, and using milk or a substitute creates a lovely, light pink broth that cuts through the bitterness. Delicious with a crusty bread, over polenta, or all on its own!

Did you know that it’s incredibly easy to make pumpkin puree that’s all ready for pies, pudding, and the like, from a fresh pumpkin? Homemade pumpkin puree will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for about 6 months or more. Once you make your own, you’ll never go back to canned (and not just because you can’t find it anywhere!).
