Sauteed Spinach with Garlic by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious and healthy dish that takes 5 minutes to make and goes with almost anything--asian, mediterranean or american. Barefoot Contessa has a similar recipe but adds butter and extra salt. You don't need that, but can add if you like. Fresh spinach is much better than frozen in this dish.

The combination was…

Amazing Cranberry-Pumpkin Pastries by Robyn Savoie

Every Fall I pick several "sugar pie pumpkins," bake them and freeze in 16 ounce increments. This way I have fresh pumpkin year around. Here is one way I used my pumpkin stash.
