Savory Butternut Squash Tart with Apple, Manchego Salad

Last week, Stuart was out of town, and I had a couple nights to myself. Those types of nights are rare, and as much as I miss him when he's gone, I do cherish the alone-time. I don't know why it takes him leaving for me to plan out an evening to myself. We spend plenty of time apart when we're both here...there's just something nice about having the whole house to yourself to do as you please, without consulting with anyone else.

On one of those nights, I planned a girls-only dinner party so that I could spend the other night (the night before) prepping. Ahh...how therapeutic.

For the menu, I decided on something completely "Fall," head-to-toe: Butternut Squash Tart with Gorgonzola and Pancetta, with an Apple and Manchego salad...and for dessert, Pumpkin Chiffon Mousse Cake. The tart recipe was from a wonderful blog that I've discovered call Farm-House-Table. Her recipes are so tastefully rustic. The cake is from Epicurious, and the salad, from Serious Eats.

Enjoy!
