One of my favorite things about fall is eating squash — they are easy to prepare, flavorful, nutritious and comforting. I’m now a big fan of delicata squash and I especially love the fact that you can eat the beautiful yellow skin that is striped in green.

Sometimes basic is best, as with this simple roasted kabocha squash soup flavored with sage mushrooms. Inspired by all of the beautiful and interesting winter squash that we’ve seen on our recent trips to local farms and pumpkin patches, this soup satisfies my craving for warm comfort foods now that the chilly fall temperatures are here to stay for a while.

Bagels, specifically pumpkin bagels, have been on my baking list for a long time now.
