Roasted Butternut Squash & Zucchini
I love roasted vegetables. Growing up in the '60s all the vegetables we had were boiled, which basically removes all flavor, texture, color, and nutrients. I cringe thinking about it. This Roasted Butternut Squash & Zucchini is an excellent autumn side dish. It's all done on one sheet pan, which makes for effortless cleanup. You can add any vegetables you like. I typically buy butternut squash that is already cut up.

Fresh Figs, Israeli Feta & Arugula Salad with Balsamic Honey Vinaigrette
My friend Jessica told me to make this salad using Israeli Feta cheese. It's amazing. I don't really like feta, but this one is different. It's full-flavored, creamy, and not overly salty. It's made from sheep and goat's milk. It goes perfectly with fresh figs, the spicy, slightly bitter arugula and the sweet honey balsamic dressing.
