From the November 2012 Food and Wine comes the Brussels Sprouts Salad with Pepitas and Dates--we used some of our fresh dates from California, and thus was delicious! We give it a 4. We also had an impromptu dish of chicken breast sautéed with poblano pepper from the garden, onion, and fresh mint. Also very tasty--we give it a 3.
