Depends on amount of time available: Rose Levy's Domingo chocolate cake is absolutely wonderful (Cake Bible). If no time to bake & am anywhere near a Neiman Marcus, then get their espresso chocolate cookies. They are closer to a fudgy brownie than a cookie & are lethal when slightly warmed & paired w/ a cappuccino. Yum. :)
steel cut oats (usu at b-fast), hulled barley mixed w/ lentils added to salad, seven-grain flour mix (from King Arthur) in my bread (w/ aid of the mini Zojirushi - no time to bake manually anymore)
Stand-by quickie lunch or supper: 1/3c edamame, 1/2c green peas (defrost in advance or just nuke them until warm), 2 eggs. Put all parts into a buttered (or oiled) shallow baking dish, season to taste & bake @ 325 until desired degree of doneness. Approx. 12-13' will get you solid whites w/ warm but liquid yolks. Can be done stove-top, but this way the cooking vessel is also the serving dish - min clean-up is a wonderful thing. :)
A basic important element is using fresh ingredients - no amount of seasoning or technique can compensate for ingredients that are past their prime.
Have made spaghetti squash many times & it's a bit simpler if you scoop out the seeds before you cook the thing. Can also speed up the process if use the microwave, though the flavor is a tad more watery that way. Split in half, scoop out the seeds, season w/ salt/herbs & brush w/ oil. Then put upside down on a micro-safe plate (keeps the microwave cleaner) & zap for ~20 min (depends on your microwave & size of the squash).
Love Medrich's books - have bought & used them all, but my favorite dessert to make is still Domingo - a chocolate cake recipe from Rose Levy's The Cake Bible. It's even impressed some culinary pros at dinner parties. :)
It's hard to choose a favorite when it comes to chocolate because just eating it from the package is heavenly. But having to choose I probably would choose chocolate-praline truffles.

Of course, chocolate truffles from Alice Medrich
