Delicata Squash Rings

I LOVE delicata squash. It is everywhere this time of year and there are many delicious ways to enjoy it. It is also called the sweet potato squash, because of its creamy, sweet texture. I like it best totally plain, just sliced into rings and roasted with some salt and pepper. It has edible, thin skin which crisps beautifully in the oven. Just slice, toss with some olive oil and serve. It is a great seasonal side dish and so incredibly simple and quick to whip up.

Roasted Garlic and Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut squash soup is a versatile fall staple. Simple to make, low in calories and incredibly comforting, it's a great dish to make ahead and enjoy throughout the week. Butternut squash is a fall staple - you can find it everywhere. There are tons of different ways to make this soup. I prefer roasting the squash as it gives it a really rich, creamy flavor. With the squash I roasted some garlic and leeks, which add a ton of savory flavor without adding calories. Some low sodium veggie broth and herbs complete the simple, tasty dish. The recipe will yield about 4-6 servings, so you can freeze the leftovers or just bring some for lunch.
