Roasted squash with salsa verde and whipped feta and ricotta. Making roasted squash is just a matter of cubing squash (which can easily be bought peeled and seeded), tossing it with some oil and salt, and letting it do its thing in the oven.

Bowls of grape and cranberry crisps. Dried cherries, apricots, or even raisins do nicely in the recipe. And if one is allergic to gluten they can replace the recipe's flour with one of the gluten-free brands available at most supermarkets.

Homemade cornbread dressing. Cornbread is any quick bread containing cornmeal, and a Native American cuisine. They are usually leavened by baking powder

Leek and goat cheese quiche. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, tarragon, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Spread leeks in bottom of crust and dot with goat cheese. Pour egg mixture over the top and bake until puffed in the center and lightly browned, 40 to 50 minutes. Set aside to let cool until warm or serve at room temperature.

Roast Turkey. Turkeys are usually baked or roasted in an oven for several hours, often while the cook prepares the remainder of the meal. Sometimes, a turkey is brined before roasting to enhance flavor and moisture content.

Rustic walnut tart. The tart dough is subtly sweet and crispy. The walnuts provide a great texture since they’re a softer nut.

Cider-glazed apple bundt cake. A Bundt cake is a cake that is baked in a Bundt pan, shaping it into a distinctive ring shape.
