I am still trying to find recipes for the many pounds of dry beans we have from our Lonesome Whistle CSA. It is a good challenge to find a recipe that has ingredients that the adults, preschooler, and baby will all eat and enjoy. This one worked pretty well--it was more sweet than savory. Both the beans and butternut squash I dug out from the freezer. I adapted a recipe from the Moosewood Low Fat Favorites cookbook, which has a whole giant section on beans. I'm going to be spending much more time with this cookbook.
