I didn't like acorn squash so much in the past, but now I'm converted by this delicious soup. It was loaded with great flavor, and I couldn't stop eating it. I think butternut squash should work too. Have saved the recipe into my recipe box, and also sent it to my mom who loves squash soup.

Fig marmalade pairs ripe summer figs with chopped oranges and tender lemon slices for a glossy, jewel-toned preserve. Just four ingredients, no added pectin needed. Spreads beautifully on toast, brilliant on a cheese board.

What an excellent cookie! Not too sweet with just the right amount of spices...

Creamy German potato soup with leeks, ham bone, and pureed potatoes finished with cream. Rich, comforting soup ready in 45 minutes with croutons.

Sour cream banana bread bakes up taller, moister, and more tender than the classic. The acid in the sour cream activates baking soda for extra lift, and the fat keeps the crumb soft for days. One bowl, ripe bananas, ready in an hour.

Our family loves banana muffins. I frequently make a batch of these for quick and easy grab n' go breakfasts during the week.

It's hard to be not tasty when there are fresh mint and chocolate chips in cookies. If you have lots of fresh mint growing at your back yard, these delicious chocolate chip mint cookies should definitely be on your "to-bake" list!

Blue pumpkin!? We got one from our local farm and came up with this recipe to give a try cooking with it. Regular pie pumpkin can be used but if you find yourself with a blue pumpkin here's a good way to use it.

Definitely give this recipe 5 stars. We really had no idea how it would come out before we made it, and the result was outstanding...

German braised red cabbage with bratwurst, simmered low and slow with Granny Smith apples, caraway, and a sweet-tart hit of vinegar and currant jelly. A classic Oktoberfest plate of silky ruby cabbage and juicy sausage.

Quick and easy turkey chili with kidney beans, crushed tomatoes, bell peppers and Worcestershire sauce. A lighter, leaner chili that's ready in one hour from start to bowl.

Cape Cod cranberry scones flavoured with fresh cranberries, grated orange zest and buttermilk for a tender crumb. Cut into wedges and baked golden in 15 minutes for a New England breakfast classic.

Juicy chicken breasts, stuffed with cream cheese and then wrapped in bacon. Just 4 ingredients transform themselves into oozy gooey goodness!

Microwave New England clam chowder: bacon, potatoes, carrot, onion, clams, milk, and cream all cooked in a single casserole. Classic chowder flavor ready in about 20 minutes.

Mayan chili simmers ground beef with green chilies, kidney beans, sweet corn, and a splash of tequila for a smoky, slightly boozy spin on classic chili night.

Can be used as an appetizer, or the main course, but either way this scrumptious dish doesn't disappoint in taste!
