When you are using the oven and have room, throw in a butternut squash (cut in half, put a little water in the pan, bake cut-side down about an hour). Scoop out the innards after dinner when its cool and put in the freezer or fridge. Warm it in the microwave while sauteing some chopped onion. With a little broth (veggie is good), the onion, and spices you can put it in the blender and reheat for fast, yummy soup. (Penzy's Foxpoint Seasoning and fresh pepper are all you need, maybe a little butter to saute the onion). No cream necessary! good with a fish and potatoes dinner with some green beans. If your kids are unsure, use nutmeg and cloves and call it pumpkin pie soup.
When you bought eggplant really cheap but it/they are starting to get old in the fridge, pierce it and put in the oven to bake an hour. then peel and put in the food processor. Looks almost like hamburger! you can freeze and use it in pasta dishes. "Eggplant Penne Marinara" is just that - processed roasted eggplant in a marinara sauce --or your favorite spaghetti sauce would work.
