Let's see if I remember to post more than one! lol
We have an abundance of winter squash and apples so I'm trying out recipes. This was yummy.
Roasted Apple and Winter Squash Soup
3 pounds winter squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces 2 medium sweet-tart apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces 1 medium yellow onion, peeled and quartered 2 large cloves garlic, peeled 1/4 cup olive oil 2 teaspoons Kosher salt 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 4 cups unsalted vegetable broth
Garnish 1 medium sweet-tart apple
Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a large bowl, combine the squash, apples, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, rosemary, thyme, and allspice. Spread the vegetables/fruit on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Roast, turning once, until tender, about 40 minutes.
Puree the roasted vegetables/fruit with the vegetable broth. If using an immersion blender, this may be done in a large pot. If using a food processor, this may be done in batches, transferring the puree to a large pot as you go along.
Place the pot over medium heat and simmer until warmed through. If a thinner consistency is desired, add water or more broth. Taste and adjust seasonings.
To serve, garnish with thinly sliced or diced apples. (Sliced apples may be pan-fried in a little butter or olive oil until golden.)

I used Oregon versions of the hard cider, cheese and a Pink Lady apple. Brought a double recipe to our Equinox gathering, the dish was scraped clean.
Vermont Lover's Hard Cider Macaroni and Cheese
Ingredients: 1 13.5 oz box of macaroni pasta 1 cup Woodchuck Hard Cider ( I use Amber but the 802 or Granny Smith would work well too) 1 cup heavy cream 3 tbs butter 3 tbs flour
1 granny smith apple peeled, cored and diced 1 yellow onion diced 18 oz Cabot Reserve Cheddar, shredded (super aged! )
Directions:
Prepare pasta according to box directions. Meanwhile prepare your cheese sauce.
In a medium sauce pan over medium low heat, add butter, diced onions and apples together. Saute for approximately 5-10 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Sprinkle flour over them mixing continuously until the flour has coated all of the onions and apples. (It should appear pasty) Slowly pour in cider and cream. Whisking constantly.
Bring the mixture up to a boil. Stir in 12 oz of the shredded cheese. Mix until smooth.
Pour cheese sauce over the cooked and strained pasta. Pour into a medium baking dish. Top with left over cheese.
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until the sides are bubbly.

I use ghee (butter is better, but ghee is divine!)
Sweet Potato Black Bean Soup
1 onion, diced 1 (or more) clove garlic, minced 1-2 tablespoons of ghee, butter or olive oil
In your soup pot saute the onion and garlic in the oil for a few minutes, then add the spices, stir and saute a minute or so more
about 2 tablespoons cumin about 1 tablespoon chili powder dash of cinnamon dash of salt
Add the rest, bring to boil then simmer until the sweet potatoes are cooked (about 30-40 minutes)
4 cups veggie broth 1 sweet potato, chopped 1 can diced tomatoes with chilies (I used fresh tomatoes and roasted chili peppers) 1 can black beans 1 bunch of cilantro, chopped ( Reserve some for garnish if desired)
