CREAMY ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH BLUE CHEESE
This dish was so delicious my family asked me to write down the recipe. The blue cheese crumbles add a delicious touch to the dish. The soup can be served hot or cold, but tastes best at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle.
- Toss squash with cream, sage, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Bake, covered, 30 minutes.
- Stir in half of cheese and sprinkle remainder on top. Roast, uncovered, until squash is tender and beginning to brown, about 20 minutes. Let stand about 5 minutes before serving (cream will thicken).
- Cooks note: Butternut squash can be cut 1 day ahead and chilled in sealable bags. If you're making this entire menu, squash can be roasted at same time as mushroom and farro pie. Use upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position halfway through.
BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH PECANS AND BLUE CHEESE
This has many strings to its bow: it serves as a vegetarian alternative to the Christmas/Thanksgiving turkey; it gussies up a plate of cold leftover turkey; it adds the right balance of mellow warmth and tang to any plain wintry dish; and it is a good whole meal on days when you just feel fleshed-out.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Halve the squash, leaving the skin on, and scoop out the seeds, then cut into 1-inch cubes; you don't need to be precise just keep the pieces uniformly small.
- Put into a roasting tin with the oil and strip about 4 stalks thyme of their leaves, sprinkling over the butternut squash. If you can't get any fresh thyme, sprinkle over dried.
- Roast in the oven for about 30 to 45 minutes or until tender.
- Once out of the oven, remove the squash to a bowl and scatter over the pecans and crumble over the cheese tossing everything together gently. Check the seasoning and add the last couple of stalks of thyme torn into small sprigs to decorate.
CREAMY GRITS
Steps:
- Bring the milk and water to a boil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the salt. Slowly add the grits, stirring constantly. When the grits begin to thicken, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the grits from scorching. Add the butter and cream, stirring to incorporate thoroughly, and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the pepper. Serve the grits immediately or keep them warm, covered, in a double boiler over simmering water.
- Note: If the grits are too thick, stir in more cream or milk. Remember that grits solidify as they cool; they will get thicker once on the plates.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Toss the squash with the olive oil to coat evenly and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown around the edges, 30 to 35 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- While the squash is baking, bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the 2 teaspoons salt and slowly add the grits in a steady stream, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat to low and cook and stir for 15 to 20 minutes, until the grits begin to thicken. Add the milk and continue to cook and stir for another 5 minutes, until the grains are tender and the mixture is thick.
- Remove from the heat and add the Parmesan cheese, butter, and rosemary, stirring to melt. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, if desired.
- Place the grits on a platter or divide evenly between individual serving plates and scatter the roasted squash on top. Sprinkle with the Gorgonzola, garnish with rosemary, and serve warm.
