Butternut Squash Stuffed with Chorizo, Tomatoes and Feta
Ingredients:
1/2 butternut squash, cut in half lengthwise with the center cut out (chop the good bits and toss the seeds)
1 punnet cherry or grape tomatoes, cut in half
2 chorizo sausages, sliced
1/2 cup chopped thyme and oregano (and/or rosemary)
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1/4 butter, chopped
In a bowl, toss together the tomatoes, chopped squash bits from what was removed from the center, chorizo, salt, pepper, olive oil, and herbs.  On parchment paper on a baking tray, place the squash rounds and split the filling between the two.  Top with butter and then another piece of baking paper.  Bake for 40 minutes at 200C / 375F.  Split the feta between the two, replace the paper and bake for about 5-10 minutes.  Remove with a spatula to keep it together and serve.

Pumpkin Rice Pudding
1 cup brown rice 
2 1/4 c water 
3 cups milk 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
1/4 cup brown sugar 
1 teaspoon cinnamon 
1/2 teaspoon ginger 
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 
1/2 cup pumpkin 
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
Combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer covered for 20 minutes. 
Add the milk, brown sugar, salt and spices to the rice. Bring back to a boil then turn the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Add pumpkin and vanilla. Cook on low for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit 15 for minutes. Serve warm with lightly whipped cream. 
Can also be served cold for breakfast.

breakfast-brunch-dessert:

Brie and Strawberry Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
8 slices angel food cake 
4 thick slices brie 
soft butter to spread on the cake 
3 cups sliced strawberries 
1/4 cup water 
1/4 cup sugar
Directions
Heat a saute pan or griddle over medium heat. Spread a little soft butter on one side of each piece of cake.  
Once the griddle is hot, place 4 pieces of the cake on it, butter side down. Layer strawberries and brie on top of each piece and then top each with another piece of cake, butter side up.  
Meanwhile, combine 1.5 cups sliced strawberries, water and sugar in a small saucepan over high heat. Cover and let simmer about 3-4 minutes or until strawberries are soft.  
Flip the sandwiches over when the cake is nicely browned on one side. 
Once the strawberries in the sauce are soft, pour the sauce into the blender (if you want it chunky and have a potato masher that would work too) take the center piece out of the lid to the blender and place the lid on the blender. Cover the open hole with a tea towel and blend on low for a couple seconds. Just until it’s all blended up.  
Once the sandwiches are golden on the other side, remove from the pan and serve with the sauce or powdered sugar.
