Web Chef Review: Ontario Turnips at Harvest Barn Country Markets
Have a look at this gorgeous, huge, Ontario Turnip from Harvest Barn Country Markets that I picked up from their market in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

How to Roast Squash Seeds
Tonight I’m making roasted butternut squash ravioli with tomato sauce. So, it stands to reason that I’m using a fresh, whole butternut squash for this project or for something like my Butternut Squash & Sweet Potato Soup.
