Lyon, France is considered by some to be the gastronomic capital of the world. I moved there with the intent to learn this cuisine. This French tomato tart is not only a family favorite, but it's a very typical Lyonnaise dish. There are a lot of tomatoes in Lyon in the summertime, so this dish became a staple. It's wonderful for picnic lunches, and any leftovers are great as a next-day treat.

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Apples and Bacon
I created this roasted butternut squash soup with apples and bacon recipe on Christmas Eve, which was a huge hit. The caramelized roasted squash gives the soup extra depth of flavor. This soup has a very creamy consistency but is completely dairy-free except for the optional garnish of sour cream (I did this on purpose due to a guest who was allergic to dairy). It is also extremely healthy. Don't shy away from the curry powder; it gives the soup extra flavor. Feel free to play around with the amount of carrot, onion, celery, or garlic to your taste. This soup can be made the day before and reheated.
