Here is another great example of how you can make a quick, yummy, local dinner. Baked butternut squash, pork with apples, and a tomato basil salad. All local!
For the baked butternut squash, wash then cut the squash in half, scoop out the seeds then place face down in a roasting pan, add a little bit of water and roast about 30 minutes in a 375-400 degree oven, or until the skin starts to brown.
The pork chop is first seasoned with a little salt and pepper then very simply cooked in skillet, over medium heat. When it is almost done, throw in some sliced apples, and about 1/2 Tbsp butter and cook till the apples are browned and the pork is done (at least 145 degrees inside).
The salad is a yummy mix of sliced heirloom tomatoes, minced basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Yum!
(If you look closely you can see my dinner is in danger of being eaten by someone other than me)
