Warm Quinoa, Kale and Delicata Squash Salad
Marrakesh Carrots
While it definitely calls for a bit of chopping and slicing, your efforts will pay off when you taste this beautiful, balanced winter salad. We love the bright lime dressing, crunchy pistachios and pops of sweetness from the dates. Be sure to grate your carrots fresh instead of buying the prepackaged kind; it'll make all the difference.

Slow Cooker Pear Quince Butter
Quince, that knobby unattractive winter fruit, isn't particularly delicious raw. But when cooked down low and slow with brown sugar and vanilla bean, it's transformed into a sweet, smooth fruit butter that's perfect slathered on toast or spooned on top of your favorite ice cream.
