TIK TOK BAKED FETA BUT MAKE IT FALL

Remember that viral baked feta and tomato pasta? Let’s run with that idea and bring it into fall. Sweet roasted butternut squash, salty feta and a little punch from lots of apple cider vinegar makes this the perfect warm topper for crusty bread. Leftovers on day two/three are arguably even better tossed with a few cups of cooked farro.

This might just be my new go-to autumn app.

CRUSTY BAKED RIGATONI WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS

RIAN’S ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH GARAM MASALA, SAGE AND THYME

 

I love how easily adaptable Rian has made her butternut squash soup recipe. The only non-negotiable in her book is that you roast the squash, which concentrates and deepens its flavor. This should also be a staple for your Thanksgiving table every year. In fact, do yourself a favor and make a double batch the week before you need it and freezer the extra. Boom! An entire dinner course is in the bag.

A Guide to Squash: How to Choose and Cook Gourds

If you’ve walked around your local store you can’t help but notice a few things: pumpkin spice everything, halloween candy, and squash! I’d love to do a guide to the best halloween candy but that’s for another day. I’ve compiled a guide to help you determine which squash is best for your recipe and exactly how it should be cooked. The cool thing about these fall and winter gourds is they last a really long time, like six weeks to even a few months. And guess what? They’re technically fruit because they have seeds! Let’s get started.
