Recipes:

Pasta with Delicata Squash, Rainbow Chard, and Tahini 
(I made this one up, so I'l try to write it down).

- Toss sliced delicata squash with olive oil, parsley (I used a handful of fresh parsley chopped up), thyme ( I used fresh), garlic powder, salt and pepper  (I bet fresh garlic would be nice, but I was rationing my limited garlic supply).  Bake for 25 minutes at 400.

- Boil pasta (I used Red Lentil penne)

- Saute Chopped Leeks in Olive oil (I just used the pot I boiled the pasta in once the pasta was draining)

- Add Chard, Salt, Garlic powder, saute until wilted.  Add a splash of lemon juice

- Add a heaping tablespoon of Tahini, a heaping tablespoon of hummus, and a splash of half and half (or cream or milk would probably work, too).  If these amounts don't make a sauce that covers well, add more.  Taste.  If it tastes good, toss in the penne and the squash and mix.  If it doesn't taste good, add something to make it taste better, then add in the penne and squash and mix.  Top with Parmesan Cheese if desired.


For the future: 

Pierogis and Kielbasa (need potatoes)
Taco Tuesday: Enchiladas with Rhubarb Chipotle Sauce
Pad Thai (need tofu and peanuts and sprouts)
Faux chicken pot pie

Other meal ideas:

Rhubarb overnight oats
Rhubarb bars (need walnuts)
Rhubarb Muffins
