Stuffed Delicata Squash
Why should you stuff Delicata Squash? First of all, delicata squash is tender and small enough to easily slice in half with a sharp chef's knife. Once you scrape out the seeds and pulp, you have perfect boats for stuffing. And for bonus points, the skin is thin enough to be eaten. That means you don't have to peel this beautiful squash. Secondly, stuffed delicata squash is super-easy to prepare and goes with so many different flavors. For example, my favorite recipe is this vegetarian ...

Spinach & Garlic Chickpea Savory Pancakes with Sriracha Yogurt
I admit that when I first saw this week's Pancake theme with The Food Network's #ComfortFoodFest, I thought about ricotta pancakes studded with blackberries and one of my very favorites - soufflé pancakes scented with lemon and served with a berry compote. And then I remembered how much I love chickpea pancakes, and decided on a healthier, savory flapjack. Chickpea pancakes, made with chickpea flour, are a little edgy here in the States, and frequently associated with vegans or ...
Portabellas Stuffed with Cabernet Onions and Gorgonzola
When I moved to a mostly vegetarian diet a couple of years ago, I needed to create some new entrées for the holidays. Let’s face it; whether you’re 2 years old or 75, food is central to festivities, starting with Thanksgiving and continuing all the way through countless holiday parties to New Years Day.
