Maple Glazed Roasted Delicata Squash and Brussels Sprouts

Posted: 30 Oct 2014 03:23 PM PDT

About a month before Thanksgiving, my parents and I start planning our holiday meals. To keep from going completely crazy we divide and conquer the cooking. (Props to those of you who do the whole meal on your own, how do you manage?) For Thanksgiving, my mother is in charge of the roast turkey and stuffing (they’re the BEST), my father the mashed potatoes, and I the pies. Dad and I split the sides.

Panko Crusted Pork Tenderloin with Dijon Cream Sauce

We all know what magic a buttermilk marinade can do for chicken, but have you ever tried a buttermilk marinade for pork? It’s lovely!

Caramel Apples

Posted: 23 Oct 2014 10:26 AM PDT

Caramel apples are one of those things that are as much fun to make as they are to eat. I made this batch with my goddaughter Piper with apples she had picked apple picking at a nearby orchard. The last time I made caramel apples with young Piper she was barely 4 years old, and she covered her apple with pink sprinkles.

Classic Baked Acorn Squash

Posted: 19 Oct 2014 09:05 AM PDT

Always a favorite at our Thanksgiving table is baked acorn squash. They’re so easy! The hardest part is cutting the squash in half—you need a sharp knife and a strong, steady hand. But then all you have to do is scoop out the seeds, score the inside, dot with butter and brown sugar or maple syrup and bake. To eat you can cut them in wedges, or keep them in halves and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.

Farro with Swiss Chard and Radicchio

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 12:14 PM PDT

Do you ever eat farro? It’s an ancient grain related to wheat. It has a wonderfully nutty, rich flavor and works beautifully as a side dish to chicken and pork. You cook it much like you would prepare a rice pilaf—sautéing garlic and onions first, adding the farro and water and simmering until done.

Honey Mustard Chicken

Posted: 13 Oct 2014 12:29 PM PDT

This is one of those lazy days, couldn’t be easier, don’t have to think about it and it still turns out great, dishes. You just mix honey, Dijon mustard, and olive oil together and pour it over chicken thighs in a casserole dish and bake until done.

French Toast

Posted: 11 Oct 2014 06:18 PM PDT

Is there nothing better than French toast for Sunday breakfast? Thick slices of bread, soaked in a mixture of beaten eggs with milk and cinnamon, toasted in a frying pan, and served with butter and maple syrup, this has to be one of our favorite, and most indulgent, breakfast dishes.

Butternut Squash Apple Soup

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 04:42 PM PDT

It’s the season for butternut squash! The workhorse of the winter squashes, butternut squash is perfect for cooking up into a hearty soup, so welcome when the cold weather arrives. Butternut squash can be a challenge to cut raw (see our easy how-to here), it’s so much meatier than mostly hollow pumpkins.

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 10:29 AM PDT

Fall has arrived and with it, the pumpkin season. There are always plenty of pumpkins to carve up around Halloween time and a great way to make use of the pumpkin seeds is to roast them for an easy, healthy snack. I love to eat them shells and all. If they’re properly toasted and are small to medium sized, they are wonderfully crunchy and easy to eat.

Applesauce

Posted: 08 Oct 2014 12:17 PM PDT

Nothing beats the taste of homemade applesauce, and it’s so easy to make! Every year, starting in mid summer with the Gravensteins, and through late fall with Granny Smiths and Fuji apples, my father processes dozens of batches of applesauce from apples picked from his trees.
