Autumn Vegetable Ragout

To celebrate the start of the fall season, on this chilly San Francisco night, I made a delicious and super easy Autumn vegetable ragout and served it atop creamy white cheddar polenta. I’ve had this recipe in the hopper for quite some time, just waiting for the right time to make it.

Spaghetti Squash & Red Chard Gratin

I told you I was addicted to Spaghetti Squash.  Unfortunately for all of us this may be my last Spaghetti Squash recipe for a while… That’s right, I am being banned from the delightful little guy by Jason.  Once he said, “Your Spaghetti Squash is becoming the Chicken and Rice of my childhood,” I knew I had to take a little break.

This is a squash recipe or you can think of this recipe as a Greens recipe, as I mentioned before I have a lot of greens to offload and this might be my favorite.  I have made this with Kale, Chard, and Collard Greens.  But Chard is by far my favorite.

P.S. – Did I mention that there are only 150 calories per serving.  Eat it up!!
