    Butternut Squash Sandwich with Cheddar Cheese and Pickled Red Onion

    Inspired by a sandwich from Brooklyn's Court Street Grocers, this roasted squash number is like autumn squished between bread. The combo of hearty, thyme-roasted butternut squash, rich white cheddar cheese, tangy pickled red onions, and zesty Djionnaise creates a filling vegetarian sandwich, great for Saturday lunch.

    Fried Brown Rice with Kale and Turmeric

    When you need a warming lunch this chilly weekend that's still full of healthy greens, this recipe is here for you. The best fried rice is made with leftover rice. Ideally, chill it uncovered overnight, which lets it dry out a bit, leading to maximum crispiness.

    Mustard-Crusted Boneless Prime Rib Roast with Cream Sauce

    Then for the main course: Just like the steakhouse-style prime roast your grandparents served at Christmas, but better, because it’s made using the reverse-sear method for a super-tender, evenly cooked interior and an extra-crispy crust.
