Fennel and Celery Root Salad from Epicurious. A nice combination of flavors. Our radicchio was not a small one, and so I think dominated the salad a bit more with its bitterness than was intended. So this gets a 3, but might have been a 4 with a bit less.

Sheet Pan Sausage and Squash from NYT Cooking. With the sheet pan, the squash picks up some of the rendered fat from the sausage, giving it a great flavor. But the sausage came out fairly dry for some reason. Overall, this gets a 3.
