Bialas Farms ~ Autumn is rolling in this weekend and with it the winter squashes and cool weather greens. You'll see lots of spinach, kale, chard and beets at the market. If you're feeling like soup, we'll have all the essentials (carrots, celery, onions, garlic, parsley) plus a few you hadn't thought about (parsnips, kohlrabi, leeks, bok choy). Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and corn are slowly making their exit so stock up now. Winter CSA applications are available at market or at BialasFarms.com. Fontanarosa's will not be at the market this weekend due to a death in the family. Our thoughts and prayers are with them!
Edge of Knife won't be back until October 6th.

Recipe of the Week
This recipe goes great with fresh applesauce. Make extra applesauce and freeze a few batches for the winter.
Potato Leek Pancakes 
3 large potatoes, scrubbed and shredded (I leave the skins on for added nutrients)
2 to 3 leeks, white and light green parts, trimmed, cleaned, halved and sliced very thin
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper or to taste
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Put the shredded potatoes into a few paper towels. Wrap and squeeze all the water out of the potatoes. Combine in a large bowl with everything except the oil. Mix well.
Heat a griddle over medium high heat. Prepare the griddle with nonstick cooking spray. Add enough oil to just coat the pan.
Working in batches, place about 2 tablespoons of the potato mix onto the hot griddle. Flatten the pancake with the back of a spatula. Repeat. Add more oil as needed. Cook until bottom is golden, then flip. Repeat on second side.
Serve with applesauce. Makes 4 servings.
