Many of my friends including myself are in our sixties and we love our desserts especially the fattening ones. So I eliminated the crust thus cutting a few calories but this is still a wonderful side dish and very rich indeed. I got tired of the marshmallow-topped sweet potatoes and decided to pair my potatoes with a praline topping flavored with rum extract and caramel. The condensed milk replaces sugar and heavy creams that I used in my pies. And there is no need for butter.

With cabbage, carrots, radishes, and herbs, this slaw is as colorful as it is flavorful. It’s a great make-ahead dish, since the flavor develops as it sits; just be sure to give it a quick stir before you serve.

Game plan: If you don’t have a food processor, you can grate the vegetables on the large holes of a box grater.

I love baked acorn squash with butter and brown sugar…but forget that!...If you follow this recipe and you will Not go back to the old one, trust me. One night I decided I wanted Squash but wanted something a little different. I cut the Acorn squash in half and put my homemade butter in the cleaned out halves… What next? I grabbed some honey instead of brown sugar! Then a little salt and pepper and a light dusting of Garlic & Onion powders and a touch of Paprika. But I felt something else was missing? What could it be? Ahh.. A touch of some fresh Sweet Basil! When it came out of the oven and I tried it–I knew I had a winner. That night I also made a Braised Venison Tenderloin with cooked fresh Tomatoes and Onions and basil. The intersting fact? I grew the Squash, Onions & Tomatoes and the Sweet Basil. I had taken the Deer (5 point Buck) on the last day of the season. I make my own butter from heavy cream so thats what I used… Basically–this was really a “Homemade Meal”. It doesnt get any better than this.

After grilling the corn, simply pull back the husk to create a built-in handle and enjoy.

What to buy: Cotija is a crumbly Mexican cheese that can be found in Latin markets and many grocery stores.

As a side dish, use one large ear of corn per person. The more flavorful the corn, the more flavorful the polenta.

This is very delicate and would be lovely topped with lobster, scallops or mushrooms. However, it is wonderful on its own or with a bit of butter or grated cheese to taste.
