This week's meal includes Strata with Sausage and Greens, Caramelized Butternut Squash, and Pecan Bars. It is warm, cozy, and perfect for chilly nights.

The Strata with Sausage and Greens is a layered casserole that consists of bread, an egg-milk mixture, sausage, cheese, and spinach. The whole thing soaks overnight, which allows the bread to absorb the egg-milk mixture. It is then baked, and it becomes soft and gooey on the inside and crunchy on the top. It's a fall delight!

The Caramelized Butternut Squash is fresh butternut squash roasted with butter, brown sugar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. The squash is soft on the inside and caramelized on the outside. It's sweet and a perfect match with the savory strata.

The Pecan Bars are ultra-nutty. The base of the bars is a tender shortbread cookie. The filling is sweet and nutty. They are both chewing and crunchy. It's like a pecan pie in bar form.

I hope you enjoy this week's meal as much as I do!
