The salty squash seeds were my favorite part of this salad. I toasted them alongside the squash and they became very crisp.

Pizza with Nantucket Bay Scallops, Rock Shrimp & Squid
This is my first cheeseless pizza. Along with the seafood I added a simple combination of olive oil, parsley, thinly sliced garlic and peperoncino.

My Favorite Cocktail
This is my favorite cocktail to make at home. It has only three indredients, and as far as I am concerned it is light and healthy - or at least refreshing and low in sugar. I never measure anything when mixing drinks. For this I simply add some ice to a shaker, fill it almost to the top with vodka, squeeze in the juice of a couple limes and sweeten to taste with agave. A twist of lime might make a nice garnish, but to me it would just get in the way. Agave can replace simple syrup in any cocktail.

Individual Apple Galettes
I was a pleasantly surprised when these small galettes were easily removed from their mini pie dishes and resembled fat, flakey turnovers. I served them with lightly sweetened mascarpone.

Pizza with Chicken Sausage, Shiitake Mushrooms, Fontina & Sage
Finally, after a bit of experimentation, I've developed my own pizza dough recipe. This combination of melted fontina with fresh sage and earthy mushrooms complimented the chicken sausage. I think I'll try adding small cubes of granny smith apple next time.
