YOUR NEXT MISSION: SQUASH THE COMPETITION With precious few weeks of fall left and a long winter ahead of us, what better time to celebrate seasonal squashes? Healthy and hearty, there’s no better way to squash the cold than by gorging on gourds. This week, we want you to sample from the A to Z of these legumes — from acorns to zucchini — in one of a variety of ways to cook with these veggies. Whether it’s butternut squab stew and soup or pumpkin pie, make it your mission to squash the competition!
