This is a hearty casserole that could also be served in smaller portions as a side dish this holiday season. Or use your left over ham from a holiday meal! If your diet restricts ham substitute chicken or tuna and enjoy in your own way!

Quinoa and Butternut Squash Casserole

Quinoa and Butternut Squash Casserole by Carolinaheartstrings

Classic casseroles are our theme this month and I wanted to make something with the colors and flavors of fall that was totally meatless. Butternut squash is in abundance right now and I love the creamy smooth texture and flavor. Pair this with the nutty graininess of quinoa and you have a win win dish! I did not want to make…

Chicken Vegetable Soup with Dumplings

Chicken Vegetable Soup with Dumplings by Gretchen Wasniewski

This is a soup I make almost every other week. It is the perfect way to use up your chicken bones and your leftover vegetables. Whenever we have a rotisserie chicken or a whole baked chicken I save the bones in the freezer until I'm ready for soup. Add your favorite vegetables and my Grandmother's hearty dumplings and you have a…

Southwestern Sweet Potato Casserole

Southwestern Sweet Potato Casserole by John Spottiswood

I adapted this from a Stuffed Acorn Squash recipe that sounded great. My kids aren't big fans of squash...but they do love yams and sweet potatoes. I thought this was wonderful served with warm rice. I sprinkled cayenne on mine to spice it up a bit. It was even better as leftovers the next couple of days. The photo did not come…

Rich Sauce with White Eggplant & Herbs

Rich Sauce with White Eggplant & Herbs by Amos Miller

Eggplant has nothing to do with eggs - unless you dip and bread them. This sauce is a knockout! We grow 'Casper', an heirloom small, long white eggplant. It's mild in flavor and perfectly suited to thick, rich vegetable sauces. When cut into dime-to-quarter-sized disks, I have found Casper to be a perfect addition to other late…
