This old-fashioned bread recipe (with a vegan variation) is completely foolproof and versatile: you can make your own bread, buns, hot dog buns, hamburger buns or even cinnamon buns out of it!I am a big fan of whole grain bread. Honestly, the more nuts, seeds and fibre you can cram in a loaf the better as far as I’m concerned. But there is something so nostalgic (and decadent) about fluffy white buns fresh from the oven (yes, with butter, I said it).

Risotto is the food equivalent of a hug in a bowl, and this squash risotto takes comfort food to a new level. Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness; if you don't feel like dealing with the hassle of peeling the acorn squash (those ridges can be such a pain in the you know what), simply replace it with more butternut squash, which has a sweeter flavour. We love the colour and contrast of using both, but the choice is yours.
