Pumpkin ravioli is a traditional dish eaten on Christmas and New Years in the Mantova region of Italy. Some recipes include crumbled amaretti biscuits, raisins, and mostarda, giving the recipe a real holiday feel. Although in Italy their zucca is different than ours, we think that butternut squash works just fine. Add this delicious homemade pasta to your own family tradition this holiday season.

Watch as we make a delicious Swedish-inspired Viking Apple Cake. This cake has no butter, but gets its body from yogurt. We enhance the flavor with buckwheat and cardamom, which although are two very strong flavors, they work together beautifully. The apples make this a great Winter cake to make for cozy evenings by the fire.

Sweet potatoes are a delicious fall vegetable. We like them best baked and eaten simply. They can also be dressed up with pepper, nutmeg or other fall spices.
