This comforting dish features a hearty, slightly sweet flavor from the squash, balanced with savory notes from white wine, Parmesan cheese, sausage, and sage. Serve it in a big bowl, topped with more Parmesan cheese. It’s guaranteed to be a winner for a weeknight dinner or your next dinner party!

Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb for 2

Each year in December, my husband and I do a cozy dinner and gift exchange at our place before spending the holidays with our families. The last few years, we’ve made this herb crusted rack of lamb and it has been such a hit. The thin layer of dijon mustard combined with the herb and garlic panko crust results in a seriously perfect, flavorful end product.

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!
