When cooked, winter squashes turn soft and sweet, making them extremely versatile and comforting to eat when the weather [...]

I’m spending my first Halloween in NYC, and it’s bound to be a crazy week. When I left the gym on Sunday, I was walking along Broadway and suddenly a motorcycle gang of about 200 guys came racing down the street with scary Halloween masks, revving their engines and weaving around all the other cars [...]

As you know, I’m lovin’ the fruits and veggies in season this Fall. I picked up a spaghetti squash yesterday and have been looking around for something fun to do with it (besides eating it plain with a fork and some salt and pepper).
