Cooked on the stove top, this easy side dish would be perfect for taco or fajita night. It is a healthy combination of cubed butternut squash, tomatoes, corn and green peppers. The cumin and oregano give it a South of the Border flair. —lakelurelady

I have been a serious cook from the time I first took an introductory course in French Cooking from Irena Chalmers, a cookbook author and instructor at the CIA. My first love is French cooking but I also value the importance of fresh local ingredients. The freshest ingredients seasoned right and prepared with love will result in the perfect meal.
