I created this recipe using my favorite parts of many different recipes. This bread isn't very sweet, so it's not for those who enjoy a sweeter bread. The chocolate throughout makes this a beautiful bread to entertain with.

Chef John's Baked Acorn Squash
I like how this baked acorn squash recipe tastes, but scoring the squash with a knife before baking really makes for a great presentation. It also allows the simple but delicious glaze to penetrate nice and deep.
Graham Cracker Pudding Pie
Mom's graham cracker pudding pie. Everyone loves it. Best served with a huge scoop of whipped cream and garnished with crushed graham crackers!
Quinoa, Asparagus, and Feta Salad
A perfect spring, summer, or anytime salad. Loaded with protein and fiber, but so delicious you would never guess how healthy it is! If you are making the salad ahead of time, add the dressing just before serving to keep the asparagus an attractive bright green. Leftovers keep well for a couple of days.
