A friend cooked us an egg, squash, and cheese casserole, but I was never able to get the original recipe. After a few years of trying, we came up with this version, and we like it even better than the first! A great way to get non-veggie lovers to indulge.

High-Altitude Challah
I make this high-altitude challah recipe for my family and family gatherings in Colorado, which turns out beautifully each time. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does! If you'd like, sprinkle poppy or sesame seeds before baking, but we never do.
Easy Homemade Pie Crust
This homemade pie crust is my personal favorite and is made using a food processor, which makes cutting the butter into the flour very simple, without overworking the dough. You can make a double batch of this and freeze the individually wrapped dough for future pie-related adventures.
Blonde Brownies
These blonde brownies are rich and chewy, with chocolate chips on top.
