Sausage Stuffed Acorn Squash - total time 40 minutes

Posted by yanti on Saturday, November 21, 2015


The fun thing about eating more seasonally (besides eating foods when they're in their absolute prime and tastiness) is that you have something to look forward to every season which keeps your meal plans fresh too. Now that we're halfway into fall, I have a counter full of squash begging to be roasted! There are so many to choose from, they come in all shapes and flavors. You might already have a few butternut recipes, but here's a new acorn squash recipe to add to your fall meal planning arsenal.

This is the perfect comfort food when the temperatures start to dip. Sausage has that smokey flavor that pairs just right with acorn squash. The addition of sage just completes the fall flavors. Baking the sausage in the squash is super cute presentation that is great for a dinner party or a fancy Thanksgiving. It's also pretty easy! :)

Caramelized Onion and Pear Grilled Brie Sandwiches - total time 15 minutes

Posted by yanti on Tuesday, January 13, 2015


One cooking secret I learned from my mom was how to make the best grilled cheese sandwiches EVER! My sandwiches have come a long way from Kraft singles and Wonder bread. Rustic wheat breads, sophisticated cheeses, complex flavor combinations... you name it, I have probably made it into a melty cheesy sandwich.

I mentioned a week or so ago that I was inspired by one of Harvest Moon Cafe's bison burgers with caramelized onions, pears, and brie... soo good! I knew it would taste just as good (or better) without the meat. So only a few days later, I made these sandwiches, and then again, and again. Definitely addicting! Perfect to go with a cup of soup or a side salad. And it doesn't take long at all.

It's time for the biggest cooking day of the year!  When experienced and novice chefs alike plan out a menu, buy tons of food, work hard in the kitchen, and serve up something delicious for their friends and family.  

Of course it is also time to give thanks, and not just for the feast and family in front of you.  Too many families are in need, especially this time of year.  And that is why Whence is partnering up with Godman Guild to provide Thanksgiving meals to families here in Columbus.  Please consider donating through the Whence app this week to help others have a healthy, happy Thanksgiving!
