A Vegetable Stock PSA + No-Knead Oatmeal Maple Bread, Potato-Leek Soup & More Recipes to Make this Week

Hi Friends,

Earlier this week I made a pot of this roasted butternut squash and garlic soup. It's a very simple recipe calling for mostly three ingredients —butternut squash, garlic, and stock — and what I love about the recipe is this: in the time it takes for the squash and garlic to roast in the oven, the stock — the vegetable stock — can materialize stovetop.

If you've never made vegetable stock, I think you will be so pleased by the process and result: It's made with scraps! It's full of flavor! It's done in 45 minutes! Every time I make a pot of vegetable stock I am astonished by how well-seasoned it tastes in such a short period of time.

Note: This recipe does call for whole vegetables (onion, carrot, celery) as opposed to scraps, but if you are good at saving your scraps — onion skins, carrot peels and ends, celery butts, etc. — moving forward, know that you can make your stock entirely from scraps. Store the scraps in the freezer. No need to thaw before plunging them into the stock pot.

Teddie's Apple Cake

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I made this on Sunday afternoon, planning to take it to a meeting on Tuesday. One little piece detached itself from the bottom, so of course I ate it. OH MY! SO delicious! Now I can hardly wait for Tuesday. I'm wondering if I should make another one tomorrow, just for me."
