Cauliflower is such a versatile vegetable! It’s delicious raw, and it’s wonderful in soup and salads. In this recipe, we chose to go with a meditation slant using pine nuts and raisins to bring out the slightly nutty flavor of the cauliflower.

This tender chicken is a real time-saver on a busy pre holiday week. A simple blend of seasonings and a nutty stuffing makes it a snap to prepare, and it smells heavenly as it roasts.

Smokey and earthy, this sauce goes with pretty much anything — really. Almonds are traditional but anything that happens to be in your cupboard or fridge will work just fine. So far I’ve used almonds, pine nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts and pistachios.

This simple fall side dish is perfect for cooler weather. The warm golden nuggets of roasted butternut squash infused with rosemary and topped with lightly toasted pecans add color, texture, and a wonderful aroma to any meal. Just toss with onion and olive oil and roast to perfection.
