Martha Stewart Living, October 2007 YieldMakes about 6 cups Add to Shopping List Ingredients 1 winter squash (about 2 pounds), such as butternut or turban, unpeeled, seeded, and cut into 3-inch pieces Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste 2 heads garlic, tops cut off to expose cloves 1 1/4 sticks (10 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature 8 scallions, white and pale-green parts only, sliced 1 inch thick 2 chipotle chiles (canned in adobo sauce) 2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese (about 4 ounces) 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice Paprika, for sprinkling Roasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds), for garnish Breadsticks, for dipping Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place squash on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss. Spread squash in a single layer. Place garlic on a piece of parchment-lined foil. Drizzle with oil, and wrap loosely. Place on baking sheet with squash. Bake until squash is soft and golden brown, about 50 minutes. Let cool slightly. Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add scallions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Scoop flesh from squash, and transfer to a food processor. Squeeze garlic from skins, and add to squash. Add scallions and chipotles, and pulse until smooth. Add remaining 6 tablespoons butter, the sour cream, cream cheese, Parmesan, and lemon juice, and pulse until just combined but not smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a hollowed-out squash or a serving bowl. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Sprinkle with paprika, and garnish with pepitas. Serve with breadsticks. Recipe courtesy Paula Deen Ingredients 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, prepackaged 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1/2 cup walnuts 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 (8-ounce) wheel Brie 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 egg, beaten Crackers, for serving Directions Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Defrost puff pastry for approximately 15 to 20 minutes and unfold. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Saute the walnuts in the butter until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. Add the cinnamon and stir until walnuts are coated well. Place the walnut mixture on top of the Brie and sprinkle the brown sugar over the mixture. Lay the puff pastry out on a flat surface. Place the brie in the center of the pastry. Gather up the edges of the pastry, pressing around the brie and gather at the top. Gently squeeze together the excess dough and tie together with a piece of kitchen twine. Brush the beaten egg over top and side of Brie. Place Brie on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes until pastry is golden brown. Serve with crackers. Paula Dean's yum yum! Decorations, place cards, center pieces, wreaths, tablecloths, lists, wines, candles, flowers, the list is long. I like to start early, I made place cards myself,the center pieces are just vases filled with acorns and PB organic candles, tons of flowers, and more. Tomorrow I will show you some awesome centerpieces and table ar  martha

Happy Sunday and blessings from the Lord

A beautiful Sunday here in the North East.  THe
temperature is 60 degrees, a blessing, in November we usually have 30 and 40's, so this is God's blessings.


Hope your Sunday is wonderful and I got to visit
several of you this morning including sweet Stephannie from Under the table and dreaming.I loved the post with the William Sonoma's wreath,
what a great job on a labor intensive wreath.


Christina from "Design by numbers" made this
gorgeous wreath, I love it, patience, and determination. Kudos to Christina, if I could find the little pumkins, I might try it but they are not easy to find thou...











Under the table and dreaming had a great Sunday showcase, I love all the projects, and I'm finishing some for next week.


Enjoy your Sunday, and thanks for visiting me,
