NEW!
Winter Squash - It's 'fall' when you first cook winter squash, yes? the acorn squashes, the delicatas, the butternuts, the kabochas. Check all the winter squash recipes but I especially recommend Acorn Squash with Mustard & Honey and the
Curried Squash. Plus, here's how to safely cut a butternut squash, without losing a finger.

BACK AGAIN!
Fennel - Fennel! Ah, it's got such sweet aroma and flavor! See all the fennel recipes but I especially recommend the Spring & Summer Sliced Salad since you'll have radishes too, or this traditional Italian fennel salad. If you have a mandoline, you'll be able to shave thin-thin airy slices of fennel.

Salad Mix & Lettuce See all the recipes using lettuce and other salad greens, plus, do you know how to make salad dressing?

Kale - for recipe ideas, see the Leafy Greens recipes but if you can't use the greens for a day or so, I really recommend doing a quick cook right away as in Greek Greens

Apples - A few, says Natalie.

Broccoli - See all the broccoli recipes. My favorite broccoli recipe on the site is Broccoli with Pancetta & Parmesan but I recently remade this BBQ Oriental (don't be put off by the name, it's grilled vegetables) and it was delicious.

Pac Choi - I think -- yes, Natalie? - that Pac Choi is another spelling of bok choy, so check the Bok Choy recipes for ideas (or check the 'Chinese cabbage recipes' at Wolf Pine Farm)

Tomatoes & Cherry Tomatoes - Check the tomato recipes and the recipes which are especially perfect for the size, texture and flavor of cherry or grape tomatoes. To carry tomatoes into winter, don't miss out on slow-roasted tomatoes.

Beets There are (so far) 41 beet recipes on A Veggie Venture. Yes, I love beets for their flavor but more than that, once they're cooked, they're the most amazing convenience food. In fact, all the recipes that call for cooked beets are noted with this little pan. Several make my list of five-minute vegetable recipes. Last year, I learned from a farm wife in western Missouri what to do with the first beet. And when I taught a class at a church for twenty-something girls learning to cook, this simple beet dish was their favorite recipe, all summer. Most had never even tasted beets before! And if you've not tried Natalie's beet pesto, it's much recommended, maybe my favorite new recipe of the summer, so far.

Garlic - Presumably, you'll have no trouble using up fresh garlic. But if you've not had it before, what a treat you're in for! I do really recommend the garlicky beans, however.
