With winter on its way out, now is your last chance to savor this season’s star produce in its freshest form. Butternut squash—technically a fruit, but often thought of a vegetable—is at its peak from fall to late winter. Cube and simmer it in broth with spices and onion, then blend smooth in your food processor for a flavorful and nutritious soup.
Be thankful for the fresh, autumn flavors of acorn squash stuffed with quinoa and cranberries, seasoned with a delectable dash of basil. This side dish is perfectly suited for the Thanksgiving Day table and also makes for delicious leftovers.

If you’ve run out of creativity before you’ve run out of squash, fear not. I’ve got a unique recipe your whole family will love.
Squash is deliciously versatile and can be prepared in casseroles, as croquettes, stir-fried, stuffed, baked, boiled or as the “crust” for my recipe for Summer Squash Pizza. It not only tastes great, but it’s good for you. Summer squash is low in calories and a good source of fiber, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, several B vitamins and minerals, plus omega-3 fatty acids. But the nutrients are in the peel, so never peel summer squash.
This all-veggie pizza is full of flavor on its own, but you can add two or three ounces of sliced pepperoni, cooked sausage or cooked, diced, chicken, if you’d like. Any leftover sauce can be used on pasta, refrigerated for up to five days or frozen for three months.
