Roasted Fall Vegetables

Serves 8; Makes about 12 cups; Prep time: 20 minutes; Total time: 1 hour 20 minutes

2 pounds butternut squash (about 1 medium), peeled, seeded, and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 pounds red new potatoes (12 to 14), well scrubbed and quartered
1 pound medium red onions (about 2 to 3), peeled and quartered
1 pound carrots (6 to 8 medium), halved lengthwise, if thick, and cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
4 to 6 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
3 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper

1. Preheat oven to 450°. Divide vegetables and garlic between two rimmed baking sheets (or line with parchment paper, if desired, for easy cleanup); dividing evenly, toss with oil, 2 teaspoons coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

2. Roast until vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, 40 to 50 minutes, tossing them and rotating sheets from top to bottom halfway through. Serve hot or at room temperature. (To store: Let cool, place in an airtight container, and refrigerate up to 3 days. Pour off any accumulated liquid before using.)

Rosemary Red Potatoes

2 pounds small red potatoes, quartered
1 small onion, quartered
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
2 garlic cloves
1/4 tsp garlic salt

In a bowl, combine all ingredients. Toss to coat potatoes well. Transfer to a foil-lined baking pan. Bake uncovered at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are tender and brown.

**I'm sorry, but in my experience, potatoes always take longer to cook than 30 minutes...

Potatoes Au Gratin

Boil 10-12 potatoes with skin on. Cool. Peel and dice. Put in dripper pan with some onion.

Cheese sauce:
1/2 cup melted butter

Blend in:
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp dry mustard

Add:
4 cups milk
1/2 lb grated cheese.

Bring to a boil and boil for one minute. Pour over potatoes in casserole dish. Mix some mashed up corn flakes with butter. Sprinkle on top of potatoes. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

**This is my mom's version of "funeral potatoes." In my opinion, it beats the heck out of the standard funeral potatoes.

**Okay, my sister makes Calico baked beans for every holiday. Every time I ask her for the recipe, she tells me it's the recipe out of the "Lion house" cookbook or something like that (it's an LDS cookbook). When I inquired online, I was given this recipe... along with another similar one. I haven't a clue if this is the REAL one or not, though? If you have the cookbook, let me know if this is it. Thanks!
