At this time of the year, when the leaves turn shades of ochre and there is a bite in the air, I crave comfort food. Perhaps it is something about wearing cosy, woollen jumpers, snuggled up on the couch that creates these cravings. I particularly enjoy cooking with Squash in any way I can. Squash is the hero vegetable of Autumn. A simple squash roast in the oven will suffice on some days like I did here. But for those days when I feel like something sweet for a slow brunch on the weekends, only pancakes will do. These roasted squash pancakes drizzled with rosemary infused maple syrup are not only delicious, healthy but a great way to get a vegetable intake in the mornings, particularly for kids.

It's no denying that Autumn is upon us. The trees have nearly shed all their leaves, the days are much shorter, much colder. Halloween has come and gone, and before you know it, it will be Christmas. That's right, I said the C word.

I'm craving lots of comfort food, easy foods that can be left on their own in the oven with not much tending to. At this time of the year it's all about the squash and my favourite way to eat them is to simply roast them in the oven. Seasonal simplicity at it's best. And because time is something I don't have a lot of these days to spend in the kitchen.

Does anyone else feel like they wish they had more time in their day? I certainly do.

Here I give you just simple roasted pumpkins. No recipe needed, no words necessary. Just Photos.
