This hearty dessert also makes a tasty breakfast, with maple syrup in place of the tres leches sauce.

Tres leches sauce
This rich sauce is a more pourable version of dulce de leche, a caramel-like favorite in Latin America that is used with everything from cakes and cookies to candies and ice cream.

Butternut squash with green chile and mustard seeds
A fast, fun accompaniment to any simply grilled, broiled, or roasted meat. We particularly like it with a rotisserie chicken, some crusty bread, and Greek-style yogurt on the side. Save time and effort by using a 2-lb. bag of precut butternut squash.

Butternut squash gnocchi
These little dumplings are ever so slightly sweet.

Miso-glazed kabocha squash
Rich-tasting and dense, kabocha is one of our favorite types of squash.
