Roasted Squash with Molasses Cider Glaze Recipe
Drizzling roasted squash with an easy molasses cider glaze adds a lovely flavour to this winter staple.
Warming winter side dishes…
If there is any consolation to shorter days and cold weather it is hearty meals made of foods that stick with you like nobody’s business.
That’s why turning the calendar to November is as good an excuse as any to cook more substantial meals and load your plate with winter vegetables and whole grains.
This isn’t about bulking up for winter, eating for the season and enjoying warming food that’s satisfying…
Of course it helps if your cold weather side dish recipes are a little healthy and get you eating your vegetables and whole grains.
Fine dining can be had at home, any night of the week.
Roasting wedges of squash is a particular favourite at Crosby’s because it’s easy to prepare and looks pretty on a plate.
It’s especially delicious served alongside a hearty and flavourful pilaf of wild rice and hulled barley.
Pair these two dishes with roasted pork tenderloin and cranberry sauce with apple.
