I Dream About Butternut Squash

A dish I had at a restaurant over the weekend that I want to recreate at home. Tortellaci in cream sauce with sauteed butternut squash, crispy proscuitto and truffle oil. Suggestions for something similar? There were onions and garlic in there, too, along with a sweet something on the squash.

Chicken Taco Salad

Shredded chicken (making use of some leftovers) sprinkled with taco seasoning; diced onions and tomatoes; shredded cheese and lettuce; guacamole and sour cream. Sliced corn tortillas fried quickly in a little vegetable oil for the topper.

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

The secret to perfect roasted pumpkin seeds? Boil them in salted water first. These seeds came from pumpkin carving. Boil for about 7 minutes, then drain and toss with butter. Add more seasoning if you want spicy versions. Then spread on a baking sheet, sprinkle with coarse sea salt and roast at 350 degrees until browned.

Halloween pancakes this morning.

His and Hers Potatoes

Potatoes on the left for my daughter; on the right for my husband. "His" have fresh rosemary on top. "Hers" are only salted. Both were roasted for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

My daughter really wanted to try these. Tossed with olive oil and sprinkled with coarse sea salt - then roasted at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes. Her review? Double-yuck. Kudos to her for trying them, though.
