Roasted Acorn Squash and Brussels Sprouts

Hi Jennifer,

Iris at The Daily Diettribe writes, "I've been making Roasted Acorn Squash and Brussels Sprouts a lot lately. Adding just a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and allowing it to roast until it begins to caramelize creates a sweet and delicious snack. And the brussel sprouts taste great cold the next day!"

Lentil Soup & Delicata Squash

Noelly B from Seed Upon the Wind writes, "This is a seasonal veggie soup with lentils (tomatoes, celery, carrots, onion and garlic chives all from our local farmers' market). There are also two amazingly good white/wheat rolls with flax that my sister-in-law made and some baked delicata squash with cinnamon for dessert. I love simple soups, and I'm thrilled that the weather is finally getting cold enough that we can enjoy hot soups to their fullest!"

GRILL WEEK: Lentil Tacos with Grilled Corn and Squash

Kara writes, "A local farmer stopped by my office building the other day to sell fresh corn. I bought a dozen for only $3 and grilled some along side red bell pepper that night. I removed the kernels, mixed in the grilled red pepper and some fresh jalapeno. I also grilled some white squash as another side for my lentil tacos."
