Gingerbread Latte Cookies
Inspired by a favorite holiday drink, these gingerbread latte cookies are chewy, spicy, and full of molasses and espresso goodness. Give yourself a bit of time to make these as the dough does require several hours of refrigeration before baking.
Roasted Butternut Squash with Onions, Spinach, and Cranberries
A delicious deviation from the typical squash preparation, this recipe has kind of a nutty flavor with or without the nuts. Good as-is, but of course each person can salt and pepper their own serving to taste. The leftovers are good served as a cold salad if you don't like the cooked spinach that results from re-heating. Almonds and walnuts can be used in addition to or instead of the pecans.
Nippy Pork Salad
Delicious pork that can be served on sandwiches, crackers, or just on the side with another salad. Best if left in fridge at least 4 hours before serving. Great next day, too.
