Happy holidays! Despite the changes to many plans this year the food I want to eat remains the same: lighter and light-tasting work-from-home lunches followed by small bites. Here's a roasted squash, dried cranberry and endive salad that transforms into an elegant hors d'oeuvre.

Rich and hearty these quesadillas balance earthy, sweet pumpkin with sharp red onion, smoky Spanish paprika and spicy Chorizo sausage. Sharp cheddar holds everything together between crisp flour tortillas. Perfect as a snack and satisfying enough for a one-dish dinner.
