You will want to have a few hundred gallons of this in the freezer. It’s just that good- the smoothest ever soup with the essence of butternut squash and a hint of sweetness.

You can substitute any berry you like (strawberry, blueberry are favorites of mine-if you use strawberries be sure to cut them in to ¼ slices). Great over ice cream, pancakes, panna cotta-the sky’s the limit!

This isn’t the meatloaf your mom made. In this version we caramelize vegetables to bring out their sweet flavor. The use of the pork, veal and beef really give the meatloaf a beautiful texture and the balsamic-ketchup glaze is a sweet and sour note that goes really well with the meatloaf.

This is a really simple but really good Greek salad- the very kind they serve on the wonderful island of Santorini in Greece. The key to this salad is to get the best quality ingredients you can, including some good balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. This is a keeper recipe for weeknights too. For an additional authentic touch, snag some stuffed vine leaves (dolmades) from your store to have on top of the salad.
