Glazed Squash - Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Brush two baking sheets with olive oil, lay 3 halved, seeded, and sliced acorn squashes on baking sheets.  Seasonal with salt and pepper.  Sprinkle 1/2 cup brown sugar evenly over squash pieces. Roast for about 20 minuets or until tender.

Mashed Sweet Potatoes - Peel, cube, and boil eight large sweet potatoes until tender.  Drain and return to saucepan. Meanwhile in a small saucepan bring one cup of half and half, one stick of butter, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar to a simmer.  Stir to combine, remove from heat and add to potatoes. Mash until smooth and add salt and pepper to taste.

Pumpkin Pecorino Gratin - Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine 1/2 cup grated pecorino romano cheese and one cup of bread crumbs.  Season with salt and pepper. Spoon four cups pumpkin puree into a one quart baking dish.  Sprinkle with crumb mixture and top with three tablespoons of butter cut into small pieces.  Bake 15 to 20 minutes until crumbs are browned.
