Happy Halloween 2022! Stop by the store to fill up your tummies with some warm soup from our take-out bar before chowing down on the treats.

And while you are in the store, visit our gourmet section for those special treats. We have some fun, seasonal candies and lots of pumpkins.

And, if you are interested in some pumpkin and squash recipes, here are a few of our favorites:

Pumpkin Stuffed With Everything Good
By far a most favorite thing to do with one of these beautiful pumpkins is to stuff it full of bread and cheese and heavy cream and bake it. No, it’s not something you should eat every day, but it is a super yummy way to use the beautiful pumpkins you see appearing in the store and at the farmer’s markets for something other than decoration.

Butternut & Carrot Soup
This is part of our wonderful Halloween tradition of Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and Pumpkin Soup. It’s a favorite no matter who’s knocking on the door—and there’s no better way to get ready for Trick or Treating.

Winter Squash Casserole
An all-time top autumn dish. We prefer to use the pecans rather than the pumpkin seeds to make it taste more like fall.

Pumpkin Shrimp Curry
This curry recipe is heavy on the pumpkin. Not just a little thrown in, here’s some big-time pumpkin flavor. It’s all about the orange, baby.

Rizzo e Zucca (Rice and Butternut Squash)
This is a typical Italian fall dish: one you will see often grace our autumn table. It’s easy to make, and oh so satisfying.

Baked Farro, Bacon, and Butternut Squash
In this recipe, the tender, nutty farro is accented by the sweetness of squash, fresh herbs, and some ever-delicious crispy bacon. Fresh-grated Parmesan completes the flavors.

Delicata Squash
A lazy cook’s dream! The small size of Delicata Squash makes it easy to manage, and they are cinch to clean, slice and cook. Their flavor is rich, and their texture more creamy than many larger squashes. Get a list of recipes…

Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Spicy Caramel Apple Sauce
If you want to make a truly fabulous dessert, it is well worth the extra steps to make this one. It starts with baking your own pumpkin bread for optimal freshness. And, that is a step you could do a day in advance.

Happy Halloween 2022!
