I love butternut squash; caramelized from roasting in the oven, pureed in a soup or diced in a salad. I love butternut squash but sadly my family does not share my opinion. I make dishes with butternut squash when I have guests that I know will like it or take to work for a potluck….

Lasagna Rolls
From chef Giada De Laurentiis, a fan favorite recipe according to Food Network, these lasagna rolls. I needed a dish to bring to work for a potluck and these individually rolled lasagna sounded perfect. This recipe is just as much work as a traditional lasagna but I thought well worth the effort. The bottom layer…
Salmon en Papillote
This week on I Heart Cooking Clubs, S is for September. We were challenged with making any dish that had one or two ingredients starting with the letter S. I chose Ruth Reichl’s Sole in Papillote but substituted for salmon as my husband does not like sole. Additional S ingredients were scallions and soy sauce….

Fresh Peach Cobbler

Corn Pudding
I pulled out my copy of My Kitchen Year by Ruth Reichl and turned to the summer section. I was determined to complete more recipes from this book. Corn was on sale at my local Sprouts Market 6 ears for $1 so I decided to make this corn pudding recipe since it called for 6…
Palmiers
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi The first time I made palmiers was two years ago. I think I had beginners luck as they came out perfect. I was not wanting to deviate much from what I did then, afraid that I would break the spell. Dorie’s recipe is a little bit different from what…
