Lay the tortillas flat onto a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool. Meanwhile, place the butternut squash half into a microwave-safe dish cut-side-down, and pour in the water. Cook in the microwave until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and dice; place into a mixing bowl and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Continue cooking until the spinach wilts. Gently fold the spinach mixture into the diced butternut squash.

Beet and Goat Cheese Ravioli
These beet and goat cheese ravioli are a labor of love and create a stunning presentation. A pasta maker helps roll the dough as thin as possible, letting the vibrant filling shine through. If whole wheat pasta isn't your preference, you can easily swap it for all-purpose.
Decadent Peanut Butter Pie
The famously irresistible duo -- peanut butter and chocolate -- come together in this rich and creamy pie.
Budae Jjigae (Korean Army Base Stew)
This dish originated after the Korean War when food was scarce. Canned spam, hot dogs, and beans from U.S. military bases were combined with kimchi, vegetables, noodles, and spicy seasonings to create a hearty stew. I first tried it at a Korean restaurant near my home and loved it so much I learned to make it myself. My version is fairly spicy!
