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.

Bruschetta & Lentil Dip
This Bruschetta & Lentil Dip is so addictive. It's such a great change from salsa. If you don't have a Trader Joe's near you, buy some ready-made bruschetta and cook some lentils.

Fried Cauliflower with Tahini
Here is another Yotam Ottolenghi recipe from Jerusalem: A Cookbook. Yes, I'm obsessed! I actually roasted the cauliflower rather than frying it. I had just cleaned my stove. Anyway, the sauce is magic. You must try it.

Japanese Sesame Broccoli
This Japanese Sesame Broccoli is so fast and easy and pairs well with pork tonkatsu. Miso paste is used in the sauce and is a traditional Japanese seasoning produced by fermenting soybeans with salt and koji (the fungus Aspergillus oryzae) and sometimes rice, barley, or other ingredients.

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.
