It's that time of year when the leaves turn orange and the offerings on your dinner plate can turn even more vibrant, too. And that's a good thing, because yellow-orange veggies -- including carrots, sweet potatoes and winter squash -- are great tasting and chockfull of carotenoids.
Why care about carotenoids? These good-for-you nutrients fight the DNA damage that can make your body old (or sick) before its time.

My favorite dinner in the fall is baked acorn squash with just a bit of butter and salt and pepper. Delish!
