I cook the squash with garlic and a little nutmeg, then put it in a gratin dish with a topping of crunchy bread crumbs and Gruyère cheese. This is serious comfort food on a cold winter night.

Porcini and Orange Braised Short Ribs
Break out the slow cooker! This sweet-and-sour braise is a great meal on a very cold night. Make sure you crumble the dried porcini so they contribute the most flavor to the stew, providing an earthy contrast to the vinegary orange sauce.
Apple Cherry Cardamom Crumble
This crumble is a wholesome version of the traditional recipe I grew up on, taken to new heights. Tangy, caramelly apples are punctuated with dark cherries and topped with crunchy pecans and oats.
Delicata Squash Fries with Awesome Sauce
Delicata squash skin is edible and it roasts fairly quickly. The squash is simple to prepare—and the taste is sweet and tender. Our best-loved way to eat delicata squash is as fries: roasted half-moon slices that both the kids and adults in our lives rave over.
Zucchini Crust Breakfast Pizza with Arugula & Sweet Peppers
A zucchini crust is too good to pass up, especially as used in this breakfast pizza. Unlike a cauliflower crust, zucchini crust is firmer and doesn’t break up as easily, so you get a more dough-like consistency.
