Delicata Squash and Apple Galette

November 20, 2019 2 Comments

This addictive delicata squash and apple galette appetizer is quick to prep, and perfect for any party. Smear puff pastry with fig jam, layer it with squash, apples and caramelized onion, and bake. Drizzle with honey and add blue cheese crumbles before serving.

Vegetarian                 This addictive delicata squash and apple galette appetizer is quick to prep, and ideal warm, fresh from the oven. Delicata squash is worth looking for, as the skin is thin enough not to require peeling before roasting and eating. As I've often written, I'm appetizer challenged. I typically resort to an assortment of cheeses and crackers. For a recent large party, I augmented this with pickled veggies I purchased. But ...

Stuffed Delicata Squash

October 29, 2018 8 Comments

Delicata squash stuffed with sautéed apples, spinach, quinoa, shallots, Serrano chile and tofu.

Stuffed delicata squash is a healthy, filling and delicious meal. And it's so easy. 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 ...

Coconut Curried Butternut Squash Soup

October 26, 2018 6 Comments

Vegan, roasted coconut curried butternut squash soup with apples.

The calendar unleashes butternut squash cravings in me every October 1, and this year was no exception. Unfortunately, I was in Italy, and searched in vain for my familiar friend on menus. It turns out, butternut squash is native to the Americas, and not as common in other areas of the world. I had to wait. So, the first thing I made when I padded back into my kitchen was this butternut squash soup. A version is also in my cookbook, Simply Vegetarian, as it's super-easy and full of flavor. ...

Butternut Squash Soup with Apple Cider & Crème Fraîche

February 8, 2017 10 Comments

Healthy butternut squash soup with apple cider & crème fraîche.

My husband was under the weather last week, and weakly pleaded for this soup from underneath a mountain of quilts one afternoon. I nearly fainted. He wasn't begging for a burger or ice cream topped with hot fudge. He was requesting, sit down for it, a vegetable based soup. That's when I realized just how sick he was. He was hallucinating that he wanted vegetables. I didn't waste any time, and set out to make this one I posted on my blog a few years ago. I love how the ...

Spiced Acorn Squash with Charred Poblano Pepper – Cornbread Stuffing

November 23, 2015 10 Comments

I like to think travel broadens the mind. For a snapshot in time, you sneak a glimpse of another culture, up close and personal. What people eat, how they live, and how they navigate human issues common to us all. We weigh these observations in our minds as we contrast them against our own familiar lives, and sometimes feel the pinching discomfort of a traveler far from home. “Why is there only one person selling train tickets? Holy Jesus, can’t they see how long the line is??” This can be as ...
