This is both comfortingly cozy and subtly tropical. In the cold months of January through March, when blood oranges are at their peak, a little bright and bloody summer sun is just what we need.

Acorn Squash & Grilled Halloumi Salad
Soft and sweet roasted acorn squash is the perfect contrast to crunchy, bitter radicchio. Studded with grilled slabs of halloumi cheese and bejeweled with pomegranate seeds, it’s perfect balance on a plate. Better yet, you can easily up the quantities of everything for a light side at the holidays that’s still seasonably filling.
Pumpkin-Pecan Cheesecake
During the holidays we have a hard time deciding between pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and cheesecake for dessert. Well, problem solved! This super rich and luxurious pumpkin cheesecake is topped with a dark and decadent pecan pie-like topping that brings these epitomes of holiday desserts together.
Asian Turkey Noodle Soup
A nirvana-inducing soup, made from turkey stock, Chinese broccoli and udon noodles to create something that’s both filling and light.
No-Bake Cranberry Cheesecake
I don’t usually like no-bake cheesecakes but this works so well! The pectin in the cranberries helps to give this a wonderful texture, and they also give their sweet, sharp and crisp flavors for the ultimate holiday dessert.
