Winter squash.
These vegetables are cheap and long-lived and add flavor, color and nutrition to any meal. I wish restaurants used them in the kitchen more than in dining room decorations; they are an easy way to expand their vegetable choices - and ours. Butternut, acorn, spaghetti, calabaza or Hubbard squash make great purees, soups, ravioli, risotto and stews.
