Couscous with roasted squash and cranberries (more fruit!)

Ingredients:
1 butternut squash
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
dash of red pepper flakes
dash of thyme
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 1/2 cups whole wheat couscous
1 1/3 cups vegetable broth
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup pecans, toasted
1/4 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Split squash in half and remove seeds. Bake face-down on a baking sheet until you and easily poke it with a fork (~30 minutes, depending on the size of the squash). Take the squash out of the oven and let cool, then cut into cubes.

Bring the vegetable stock to a simmer. Add couscous and cover. Take from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Add olive oil to the couscous and fluff with a fork. Stir in pecans, parsley, seasonings, and cranberries. Gently fold in butternut squash.

Note: Recipe adapted slightly from Whole Foods' Fall Harvest Couscous. I've actually had better results with Delicata or Carnival squash if you're adventurous!

Fruit - App or Dessert (?) - Baked brie

Ingredients

• 1 wheel of brie
  
• 1/2 cup dried cherries
• 1/4 cup sliced toasted almonds
• 3 tablespoons of dark brown sugar
  
• 2 sheets puff pastry
  
• 2 egg yolks
  

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Using unflavored dental floss cut the wheel of brie in half horizontally (ask Eleni how not to cut it in four pieces instead;)). Sprinkle the bottom half of the brie with the dried cherries, toasted almonds, and brown sugar. Replace the top half of the brie and squeeze to secure. Cover the wheel with puff pastry on one side, flip it over and cover on the other side. Place it on a oven tray lined with parchment paper (using foil as we can ascertain makes serving very difficult). Brush the top with the beaten egg yolks and bake for 30 min and turn the temperature down to 325 F and bake for 20min more. Serve hot as a dessert or appetizer.

Sorry I have no pictures but we ate it all so I'd say it was pretty delish!
