Ingredients

First Course - Butternut Squash Soup

Second Course - Arugula Salad with Pears and Walnuts

Third Course - Herb-Crusted Pork Tenderloin

Fourth Course - Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts

Fifth Course - Pumpkin Cheesecake

Preparation

First Course - Butternut Squash Soup

1. Prepare the Soup Base

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent.

2. Cook the Squash

Add the cubed butternut squash to the pot, stirring to combine. Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the squash is tender.

3. Blend the Soup

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Stir in heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

4. Serve

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds.

Second Course - Arugula Salad with Pears and Walnuts

5. Prepare the Salad Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper.

6. Assemble the Salad

In a large salad bowl, combine arugula, sliced pears, chopped walnuts, and crumbled feta cheese.

7. Dress the Salad

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

8. Serve

Serve immediately, allowing the flavors to meld.

Third Course - Herb-Crusted Pork Tenderloin

9. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

10. Season the Pork

In a small bowl, mix together Dijon mustard, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork tenderloin.

11. Sear the Pork

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

12. Roast the Pork

Transfer the seared pork to a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

13. Rest and Slice

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Fourth Course - Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts

14. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

15. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

In a large bowl, toss halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper until well coated.

16. Roast the Brussels Sprouts

Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and caramelized.

17. Serve

Serve hot as a side dish.

Fifth Course - Pumpkin Cheesecake

18. Prepare the Crust

In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan.

19. Mix the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Mix until fully combined.

20. Pour and Bake

Pour the filling over the prepared crust and smooth out the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set.

21. Cool and Serve

Allow the cheesecake to cool before removing it from the springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
