WHOLE-ROASTED STUFFED DELICATA SQUASH
Here is a vegetarian dinner course of impressive size and heft, to rival any stuffed chicken, turkey or loin of pork. The interior is a riff on a kale salad run through with croutons, dried cranberries, blue cheese and a spray of maple-scented pecans that complement the sweet flesh of the squash. You could use small sugar pumpkins for the main event, or really any sweet-fleshed winter squash, but delicata squash is our favorite option for reasons of taste and beauty. Unless you are serving it as a side dish, avoid the temptation to cut the squash vertically, to create boats for the stuffing. Boats are for side dishes. They are halves of a whole. For a main course, serve a squash per person, standing tall on each plate.

Steps:
- Cut 1 inch off the top and bottom of each squash. Use a melon baller or small spoon to scrape out the seeds. Sprinkle the inside of the squash with salt and pepper, then stand them upright on an oiled baking sheet.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large saucepan set over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. When it foams, add onions to pan and sauté, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften and turn translucent, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Add kale to pan and continue to cook, tossing, until kale begins to wilt, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and put vegetables into a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, place bread cubes on a sheet pan and toast in the oven until they begin to crisp on the outside, approximately 7 to 9 minutes. Add bread cubes to the bowl with the vegetables, and then add blue cheese and cranberries. Stir to combine.
- Put pecans in a dry sauté pan set over medium heat and toast the nuts until they begin to darken and turn fragrant, approximately 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in maple syrup and allow to cook for 1 minute, then scrape into the bowl with the rest of the stuffing and toss to combine. Taste and season the mixture with salt and pepper.
- Lower oven temperature to 400 degrees. Divide the stuffing between the squash. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter into 6 pieces, and top each squash with a dot of butter. Roast squash until the flesh has softened and you can easily pierce it with a fork, approximately 45 minutes. If the squash is browning too quickly, lay a sheet of aluminum foil over the top to prevent burning.
- Sprinkle parsley over the squash. Serve 1 whole squash per person as a main course, or 1/2 squash or less as a side dish.

CALABACINES RELLENOS (STUFFED SQUASH)
From "Tapas" by Adrian Lissen. Translated from spanish. I haven't tried this recipe, but it sounds wonderful and easy to make. It calls for ground lamb, but am sure it would taste equally good with ground pork or beef.

CALABACITAS (SOUTHWESTERN SQUASH SAUTE)
There are as many recipes for calabacitas as there are cooks. Here's how DH and I like it. We especially enjoy this in August when zucchini and corn are fresh from the garden. It is a versatile dish - the measurements are estimated. Use whatever fresh vegetables you have on hand...red peppers, grated carrots, jalapenos, diced tomato... For example, if I'm making it for my Yankee parents I omit the poblano and cilantro, and add parsley, resulting in a mild but tasty saute of summer vegetables. Have fun experimenting and enjoy!

ROASTED CALABAZA
Simple roasted pumpkin recipe I came across on epicurious.com. Substitute the squash below for Calabaza. Calabaza is often sold already chopped into chunks in many Latin markets. This is because of the difficulty many have in chopping the whole squash. Select pieces with a fresh, moist and unblemished flesh. Soft or wet spots means the squash is beginning to spoil. The color of the flesh should be a bright orange. Whole squash are more difficult to find, but if you find one, select one that still has the stem attached and is heavy for its size. You should avoid purchasing a squash with bruises, cuts, or soft spots. Calabaza is available year round.

- Preheat your oven at 350 degrees. Grease a medium size baking dish with butter and set aside. Place the zucchini on your cutting board and, with a sharp knife, slice 1/4 of the zucchini lengthwise*, and finely chop the part you removed and place in a bowl. Scrape out the seeds of the zucchini. If you scrape too much of the pulp, the tender zucchini will break apart, so be careful with this step.
- Fill a medium saucepan with 2/3 parts of water and place over medium high heat. When it starts boiling, carefully place the zucchini and cook for 3 minutes. Do not overcook. Remove zucchini from saucepan, pat dry with a paper towel and place zucchini cut side up, in your greased baking dish.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; add onion and cook for about 3 minutes, until onion starts to turn transparent. Add garlic and reserved chopped zucchini; cook for 2 minutes and remove from the heat and place in a bowl. Let it cool for a couple of minutes. Add the beaten egg, parsley, bread crumbs and shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place cooked tomatoes in your blender and puree until you have a smooth texture. Add water (if needed) for a thinner texture.
