Wild Mushroom and Goat Cheese Quesadillas

These rich, cheesy quesadillas are delicious with a bright cranberry-pecan salsa.

Meatless Monday: Stuffed Poblanos

Poblano peppers stuffed with black beans, cornmeal, pepper jack, onions and cumin in a spicy tomato sauce.

An amazingly rich, creamy, complex soup topped with crispy shallots. Bonus!

A simple Southern side with fresh corn, butter, cream, and salt and pepper.

A classic recipe from Edna Lewis and Scott Peacock, featuring a savory custard of grated onion, sour cream, half-and-half and heavy cream.

A huge dish of warm butternut squash, spinach, buttery onions, cheddar and toasted pumpkin seeds.

Thin slices of eggplant take the place of pasta in this filling, flavorful dish.

An odd combination that really works, from Francis Mallmann’s “Seven Fires.”
