Butternut Squash Spread

October 25, 2020 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

I love the look of this dish, but the taste is a stunner too. Placing a whole roasted squash on the table for everyone to dig into is always a conversation starter, with the interesting little twist of spreading the velvety squash flesh onto toasted bread. It’s the essence of autumn. And as a bonus it’s healthy. A great appetizer that is not all rich cheese and heavy cream (not … [Read more...] about Butternut Squash Spread

Warming Spiced Savory Butternut Squash Bread

October 4, 2020 by TheRunawaySpoon 1 Comment

Fall is finally here, and it is time for cozy, comfortable food, and this butternut bread completely fits the bill. It’s packed with the deep savoriness of winter squash and redolent with spices and hint of nutty cheese. Plus, it has such a lovely autumnal color from the squash and the turmeric.

I put together a version for a simple friends gathering and I felt like I wasn’t quite there yet, but it got absolutely gobbled up. That’s how I knew I was on the right path. I worked out this amazing cranberry onion jam, which has become a house staple for all sorts of things, and tweeked the … [Read more...] about Flatbread with Cranberry Onion Jam and Brie

Autumn Celebration Salad with Port Poached Pears, Maple Pepper Walnuts, Stilton Croutons

November 13, 2019 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I’ll be honest, I am not a big salad eater. Because I feel like, for the most part, salad is often just an afterthought. Sure, I like a restaurant salad with nice add-ins that I am not going to get at home, but I find most home salads come from a bag and use processed, packaged toppings and bottled dressing. People seem to volunteer to bring the salad to a party because it’s … [Read more...] about Autumn Celebration Salad with Port Poached Pears, Maple Pepper Walnuts, Stilton Croutons

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
