This Confit Garlic and Scallion Dip is a creamy, savoury dip that combines the rich, mellow sweetness of confit garlic with the bright punchiness of scallions. It’s the kind of thing that has everyone digging in and then asking you for the recipe.

'Tis the season for winter squashes!  I love the variety of pumpkins and squashes in the markets now - my favorites being pumpkin pie pumpkins (those small round guys), buttercup pumpkin and when lucky enough to find them, kabocha squash aka Japanese pumpkin.  Good ol' butternut squash is excellent all year 'round too and is particularly loved by my girls.  All of these squash varieties can be used in this recipe.  Choose your favorite and the flavor of it will shine through in this simple yet delicious sauce.
