Other fav dishes:

Stir-fried butternut squash =very easy. hardest part is probably cutting up the squash. With onions, garlic and ginger root. Can put in red pepper pieces too and mushrooms. Yummers. Jot of soy sauce accentuates the natural squash sweetness. No sugar nor honey required at all.

I make a focaccia from scratch half way baked with smoke salmon on top, onions, capers, dill, and Dijon mustard.

And make enough dough to make a healthy dessert foccacia at same time: fresh seedless grapes pressed into rolled out dough sprinkled with aniseed, honey, cardamon, cinnamon, ginger root (or ground ginger) and nutmeg. Can sprinkle on goat cheese or crumbled blue cheese near end. Any, some or all of these spices. Take out of oven and lovely to eat within next 1/2 hr.
