If there is one thing I dislike about this time of year it is how hard it is to get good photos in the late afternoon and evening. It’s been getting dark here around 4:30, meaning there will be very few food pictures other than breakfasts until the sun starts sticking around longer. I am really not invested enough in my food photography to prepare meals hours in advance just to snap some pictures! Anyhow, here are some of the things I have had in my kitchen in the past few weeks.

Possibly my favorite vegetable to eat this time of year. Possibly.

Mexican breakfast skillet. Veggies and beans sauteed, add a little enchilada sauce, cook until bubbly, crack some eggs in and then bake in a preheated oven until eggs are set. Serve with corn tortillas and sliced avocado.

One of the two pies I made for Thanksgiving. Rosemary bourbon sweet potato with candied pecans, from this book.

Baked oatmeal remnants.

Caramelized onion and butternut squash roast with chestnuts (oh and a bit of cranberry sauce too!) from Veganomicon. This is one of my absolute favorite winter dishes!
