Artichokes with Lemon Butter

Artichokes with Lemon Butter

Artichokes with Lemon Butter are so good. My family happens to be addicted to artichokes. I had never heard of or seen an artichoke until I was in my twenties, living in Paris. (I grew up in Indiana on canned vegetables). Anyway, I learned how to make artichokes from my friend Jody, who lived in the same foyer.

Fresh Pumpkin and Sage Pasta

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.
