THE LATEST
Fall Squash Risotto with Crispy Sage
The minute the leaves start to turn and it gets chilly out, I immediately start craving comfort food and one of my absolute favorite comfort meals is risotto. This fall squash version is so delicious and the ultimate dinner during chillier months.
Butternut Squash Lasagna with Sage and Browned Butter Béchamel
Luxurious layers of nutty browned butter béchamel, creamy butternut squash, savory sage, gooey cheese and tender noodles come together perfectly...I was legit almost brought to tears with this one. I originally shared this in a previous newsletter but want to bring it to my main site this year, so it’s easily accessible for anyone looking to cook it!

IN-SEASON FAVES
