Healthier Fish Sticks

Got picky eaters that somehow enjoy supermarket fish sticks better than baked fish fresh from the sea? Perhaps give this one a try! It’s baked, local and light years healthier than the processed minced fish you’ll find in the frozen food section. You can use haddock or cod in this one.


Potato and Acorn Squash Dumplings

These were a great stand-in for the traditional dough version, great for sopping up the flavors of a hearty stew or broth. The acorn squash is an impromptu addition that I was quite happy with. You’ll need potato starch on hand for this one to keep it gluten free.


Slow Cooker Beef Stew

Locally sourced beef bones make for a great broth, which in turn makes for a great stew! Carrot and/or rutabaga can be used in this dish. This is a great one for using some of your fall celery and summer parsley as well. Try it with gluten-free potato squash dumplings, or the traditional kind. Allow yourself time for this one, you’re slow cooker will do the work but if you’re patient, it’ll be worth it!
