Always hungry.
It is Thanksgiving week! Ok I know it is not actually the week of Thanksgiving, but we are celebrating Thanksgiving this week on ChezCateyLou. I have 5 amazing recipes to share with you, for the best parts of the meal – the sides and dessert! …
I am a huge fan of butternut squash. I get so excited when I see it popping up all over markets and on restaurant menus in the fall. I like to buy the packages of precut cubes. It just seems much safer to me…every time I take the giant chef’s knife to a whole butternut squash I come perilously close to losing a finger.
Usually we just roast our butternut squash – toss it in some olive oil, salt and pepper and roast for 20 mins at 400 degrees. Simple and delicious. But I decided to branch out with my latest butternut squash purchase and make potstickers. Wow. Amazing. New favorite recipe!

It sounds strange, but it is so good. There are so many variations on this dish and you can customize it for your preferences….
Hailing from the great city of Philadelphia, I consider myself somewhat of a cheesesteak aficionado. Pat’s, Geno’s, Jim’s, Tony Luke’s, John’s, Rick’s (creative names, I know) – I’ve had them all. But on those occasions when you can’t make it over to the corner of 9th and Passyunk for a wiz-wit, you can still make a delicious cheesesteak right on your stove top. …
