![]() This potato dish has become a standard in our house. They are easy to fix, and if time is short you can zap them in the microwave rather than roast them in the oven. Although if you choose that route, you'll miss the heavenly aroma of rosemary wafting through and beyond your kitchen. Serves 4 Prep time: 10 minutes Roasting time: about 30 minutes

Apple-Grapenut Bread came to mind, although I hadn't made it in a long time. I first made it as as teenager from a recipe on the back of the cereal box, so I guess you could call it a "retro" recipe. Whether you've had it before and want to enjoy the taste memory, or this is your first acquaintance with the bread, I hope you'll enjoy making some for yourself and your family and maybe neighbors too. For best slicing and mellowing of flavors, store overnight before you want to use it. Makes one, 8 x 4 x 3 loaf Preparation time: 45 minutes Baking time: 60-65 minutes

These days it seems easier to find pomegranate juice than pure cranberry juice, so I tried the switch, also substituting pumpkin seeds for the more labor intensive Candied Pecans. I think you'll enjoy this version just as much or even more than the original! Servings: 6 Serving size: 3/4 cup Preparation time: 25 minutes (begin 3 to 12 hours ahead of serving.)

The next time I make this, I'd like to serve it with crushed strawberries and whipped cream. Serving: 6 Preparation: 30 minutes Baking time: 30 minutes

They can be strung together as a garland. If you have many cookie cutters as I do, it's fun to choose a theme. Or use as package gift tags, writing on the person's name with frosting. Note: These take a while to dry, so plan ahead!
Directions 1. In medium bowl, combine cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Add applesauce and glue, stir to combine. 2. Work mixture with hands for several minutes or until dough is smooth and ingredients are thoroughly mixed. 3. Divide into 4 portions. 4. Sprinkle surface with cocoa powder. Roll each portion to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut dough with "floured" cookie cutters. 5. Use a straw to make a small hole in the top of each ornament. 6. Place cutouts on wire racks and cover with paper towels so that they will dry slowly and not warp. Allow to dry at room temperature for several days. 7. Carefully string on ribbons.

One of the side benefits is harvesting the seeds, about the same size as pumpkin seeds, for a delicious crunchy treat. In fact, I'm munching on a few as I write this blog. I like to use pumpkin pie spice on these, but you might enjoy experimenting with a number of different spices and even grated Parmesan cheese! Prep time: 15 minutes Dry time: overnight Cook time: 30 minutes Eating time: anytime!
Instructions 1. Wash pumpkin seeds in a colander to remove the pulp. Spread the seeds out to dry overnight on a kitchen towel, or spread on a cookie sheet and dry in oven on low heat, watching carefully that they don't burn. 2. Once the seeds are dry, preheat oven to 350 degrees. 3. In a small bowl, combine the oil, salt, and spice. Add the seeds and stir. 4. Line a baking sheet with foil, shinny side down, and spread the seeds evenly. 5. Bake the seeds until they are crunchy, stirring half way through, for about 20 to 30 minutes. 6. Cool and enjoy.

I look at what food items I need to use up, and often figure out a way to combine two or three to make the main dish. That scenario played out last night. Knowing I'm a fan of Aidell's sausage, my dear hubby had brought home a package of their Carmelized Onion Chicken Meatballs. In the meantime, we'd had a couple of small spaghetti squash in the fridge that I wanted to use. It wasn't a leap to combine the squash and meatballs with a sauce. I wanted to keep the dish healthy, and the sauce I'd used for Walnut Alfredo Sauce seemed appropriate and quick to make. The result? Combined with a green salad on the side, it was a a satisfying and delicious meal. Here's how to put this meal together. Baked Spaghetti Squash Prep time: 10 minutes Baking time: 30-40 minutes Post-bake time: 10-12 minutes A 3 pound spaghetti squash makes about 4 cups cooked squash Serving size is one cup 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 2. Cut squash in half lengthwise. (I use a cleaver.) 3. Scoop out the seeds and set aside. (Check out this Roasted Pumpkin Seeds recipe) 4. With a fork, poke a few holes in the skin of the squash and place both halves cut side down in large baking pan. Fill bottom of pan with water about an inch high and place in oven. 4. Roast from 30 to 40 minutes. (You may want to test it with a fork, as the squash will be mushy if you roast it too long.) 5. When squash has cooled enough to handle, scrape away the meat from the shell, teasing the strands. Serve with a sauce or mixed with other ingredients. Note: The squash can also be cooked in the microwave (mostly) following steps 1 to 4. Cook one half at a time. Takes about 15 minutes on high for each half. Walnut Alfredo Sauce Prep time: 15 minutes Serving size: 1/4 cup Serves: 6
To Serve 1. Cook the meatballs according to package directions. 2. Spoon the squash into a serving bowl or individual pasta bowls. Place hot meatballs on top, and pour over the warm sauce.
