This is a sponsored post of the best kind: Front Door Organics is a company I have personally been supporting since long before I was blogging. I’m thrilled to write about their services here, highlighting recipes and different aspects of the business of local/ organic food delivery.
If you’ve been reading here for a while, you’ll know I’m trying to eat local this winter. It’s not easy (I do cut myself some slack for the purposes of recipe development and, well, variety!) as the selection of produce has dwindled over the past few months (especially the fruit!). What I am embracing, though, is root vegetables and squash. Every week in my “Small Fry” box, I try to choose a different kind of squash to enjoy but because of my enthusiasm, I sometimes end up with a couple needing to be used up. Soup is the obvious path to take here but recently I’ve just been roasting off all sorts of vegetables and either serving them like that as an accompaniment to a main dish, or, in this case, adding them to a vegetarian dish to add some “bulk”. Sometimes when I make chili, I will add a grain like pearl barley or wheat berries but adding roasted squash instead simultaneously lightens the dish and turns it into a main course where you won’t even miss the meat (or grains)!

Right up my alley! This chili looks awesome ♥
It’s a nice change from “regular” vegetarian chili!
