Are you busy but love to entertain? Do you have last minute guests popping in? Do you just like to make everything ahead of time? Do you just love easy desserts? (Do you like to ask questions?) I am so excited to share this dessert if any of those apply to you.

Roasted Butternut Squash, Pears, and Cranberries

Monday, November 2, 2009

By request of our friend Bill, I’m starting early on Thanksgiving recipes this year. As I thought about side dishes, I surprised myself with a general feeling of disgust. Do I dislike Thanksgiving? No, I do love Thanksgiving. Any holiday with lots of food is a friend of mine for sure. The problem is, a few traditional side dishes do turn me off, particularly that sweet potato dish, the one covered in marshmallows. It’s sugary sweet, too busy competing with desserts, and not pulling it’s weight during the main course. To those that are big fans, hear me out. I do think there’s a place for a sweet dish, besides dessert, but let’s compliment the turkey and not mask it in a coat of soft wet sugar.

Winter Feta Dip and Pear Crudite

Wednesday, February 4, 2009

The concept of crudite and dip is an old classic. It’s irresistible for parties because it’s easy, you can make it ahead, and some call it healthy. For a new twist, try my version. I happen to think the flavor of the dip pairs (pun-intended) well with pears, but of course it will still be great with a more classic crudite, like carrots, celery, and bell peppers. Of course, you could dip chips too.

Pear Feta Orzo Salad

Friday, January 16, 2009

A little more than a week ago, I made a Roasted Garlic and Sun Dried Tomato Dressing, and I kind of got hooked on the flavor, craving it again. I wanted to show you just how versatile it is so I didn’t make the same salads. For the dinner with Sarah and Tim last night, I made an orzo salad.

Blue-Pear-Y Crumb Pie

Tuesday, January 6, 2009

I’ve been working on this recipe for a while, trying several variations. The hard part (at least for me) was that pears give off a lot more water than apples. This is finally a version worthy of your eyes and taste buds. It’s a simple fruit pie that can be made in winter months since it uses pears and dried blueberries.
