There’s something about warm roasted squash over cool, crisp greens that makes a salad feel like an actual fall meal instead of a side dish pretending to be dinner. This one combines sweet roasted delicata squash, crisp apple, creamy goat cheese, toasted pecans, dried cranberries, and a simple maple-Dijon vinaigrette. It feels seasonal and a little special, but it’s still easy enough for a weeknight. This recipe is part of the Swift River CrossFit x Davis Natural Produce partnership, built around simple ways to use fresh local produce in meals that actually work for busy families. For this salad, delicata squash is the star. One of the best things about delicata is that the skin is edible, so there’s no peeling required. Just slice it, scoop out the seeds, season it, and roast. You can grab fresh, organic, locally grown produce from Davis Natural Produce at IME in North Conway...Read more

This is the kind of dinner I love when I want something warm, filling, and easy without making a huge mess in the kitchen. Spaghetti squash is the main event here, rotisserie chicken adds an easy protein boost, and cottage cheese helps make the whole thing creamy without needing a mountain of shredded cheese. The trick is roasting the spaghetti squash just until tender, then letting it finish cooking in the casserole. That keeps the strands from turning soft and watery.

Foil pack dinners are one of those summer meals I come back to because they make dinner feel easy without turning into another round of sandwiches. Everything cooks together on the grill, cleanup is minimal, and everybody gets their own little packet of sausage, potatoes, and vegetables. I spent a whole summer doing foil packs when we remodeled our kitche This week’s Swift River CrossFit x Davis Natural Produce recipe features fresh fennel from Davis Natural Produce. If fennel isn’t something you cook with often, this is a great place to start. Grilling softens its crunch and mellows its fresh anise flavor, especially when it’s paired with Italian sausage, potatoes, peppers, lemon, and garlic.
