Roasted Cinnamon Buttery Pears

Roasted Cinnamon Buttery Pears, simple dish showcasing the straightforward flavor of pears.  They are buttery slightly sweet served as an accompaniment to pork, garnished in a winter salad, but also makes an elegant dessert for a fall dinner party, bridal brunch and quick weeknight snack. Pears rarely get center stage over apples and pumpkins in the fall, but for me, they sing fall.  Roasting fruit is a purist way to dress up fruit for dessert or accompaniment to other dishes. As much as I like pears, I do not wish to mask the pure flavor of the pear with a lot of other intense flavors.  When I eat pears, I want to taste pears.

Exceptional Squash Casserole

Exceptional Squash Casserole, tender yellow squash in a creamy, rich sauce, topped with buttery crackers.  A must for holidays, bring it to a potluck and sit back and smile hearing all the yummy comments.   We have been eating this squash casserole recipe like mad this summer.  I made the squash casserole for Labor Day, and we devoured it.  The flavor of the squash is straightforward.  Just delightful! Summer squash is so plentiful this time of the year with having so many local farmers.  That is what I love about the little grocery store in my small town.  They stock fresh vegetables from our local farmers.  I buy all my fresh tomatoes ,  green tomatoes , cucumbers , eggplant , okra ,  squash , and zucchini from them while they still offer them.
