Butternut Squash Arugula Salad

Butternut squash arugula salad topped with white beans and toasted pecans, then drizzled with maple vinaigrette. This is the perfect fall salad. Spicy arugula is studded with roasted butternut squash, creamy cannellini beans, crunchy pecans and sweet cranberries. This salad can easily be a meal on its own, or a healthy, filling side. Try it with my stuffed acorn squash for a fantastic fall dinner.

Baked Eggs in Mini Pepper Cups

Baked eggs are the perfect brunch item. Put those baked eggs inside mini bell pepper cups and now it’s an adorable brunch item perfect for serving on special occasions.  Make a few variations and your guests can help themselves, leaving you to enjoy your guests instead of being stuck in the kitchen.
