Vietnamese Pickled Daikon Radish and Carrots
This crispy Asian-style refrigerated pickle combination (do chua) is best known as an addition to banh mi sandwiches. You can also add cucumber and onions, if you like. This also works well with BBQ pork or as a rice side. They will keep for 4 weeks in the refrigerator.
Vegan Lasagna I
This lasagna is VERY good and is also a vegan recipe.
Baked Delicata Squash with Lime Butter
This baked delicata squash is tender and sweet, with edible skin. Delicata is an heirloom squash that's creamy yellow with green stripes on the outside and slightly sweet orange flesh — it's my favorite. My sister suggested this lime butter topping (my personal favorite), but a blend of maple syrup and butter is good too. Delicata squash are usually not very big, so plan on two servings per squash.
