Delicata squash is a small oblong squash that has pale yellow skin with dark green stripes. It's sweet and smooth enough to eat plain, but the flavor really pops with this medley of shrimp and veggies. This recipe was a clean-out-my-freezer concoction that turned out to be tasty. For a light colorful meal, serve with a salad of mixed baby greens, cucumber, and toasted pine nuts.

This easy English muffins recipe was inspired by Model Bakery in Napa, California, which fries them in clarified butter. I revised the recipe for a simpler, faster version and kept the frying method!

I strongly recommend using fresh blackberries in this blackberry fool recipe for the best flavor. Raspberries, strawberries, or a combination of all three may be used, but they should all be fresh.
