Lemon Curd
This is the Lemon Curd I served at the tea I catered. It's so easy to make and it got rave reviews. Fruit curd is a dessert spread and topping usually made with lemon, lime, orange or raspberry. The basic ingredients are beaten egg yolks, sugar, fruit juice and zest which are gently cooked together until thick and then allowed to cool, forming a soft, smooth, intensely flavored spread. It can be used for bread, scones, toast, waffles, crumpets, pancakes, or muffins.Curds are different from pie fillings or custards in that they contain a higher proportion of juice and zest, which gives them a more intense flavor.

Delicata Squash Stuffed with Sausage, Sage, Shallots, White Beans & Parmesan
Delicata Squash Stuffed with Sausage, Sage, Shallots & White Beans is a great dinner. Having grown up in all four seasons, I always feel cheated living in Southern California. Over the long weekend, on our way back from the beach we stopped at a wonderful pumpkin patch. I usually buy acorn squash and make Acorn Squash with Sausage, Peas & Onions, but I decided to branch out and try the Delicata squash.

Fresh Pumpkin and Sage Pasta
Fresh Pumpkin and Sage Pasta is healthy and easy to make. One of my favorite autumn meals is pumpkin ravioli with sage. We had this right after we got married over 30 years ago. I have made raviolis, but I was lazy this weekend and tried this version, which uses grated pumpkin. This is a fairly healthy dish, but after making it, I thought it could use some creaminess. Here is what I would do next time:
Take out one cup of the sautéed pumpkin and purée it with about 1/2 cream or half and half, then stir it into the pumpkin mixture.
