Okay, so don’t freak out. I’m still a foodie. I did not choose this diet, it seems to have chosen me, but I will find whatever wiggle room my system allows for. I will eventually go back to enjoying cheese and ice cream, if not doughnuts and cake. But for the time being I’m making … Continue reading
This is my version of this Cooking Light recipe. I’ve changed some techniques and ingredients a bit. It is also no longer light. I have to admit I find creamy soups kind of bland after a while. Tasty, but just not enough variation. Enter, bacon! 2.5 pounds sweet potatoes or winter squash, peeled and cubed … Continue reading
Hooray for Pinterest! I have found some fantastic food blogs via other pinners. This one comes from Pinch of Yum and includes a few changes based on what I had in the fridge that week from the CSA – but it is mostly intact. This is a delicious dish – use the full amount of Tom … Continue reading
This is a super-easy dessert. It’s kind of a faked up pudding – no eggs, just cornstarch. I serve it with some really simple whipped cream – just cream and sugar. This is use #492 for the hundreds of bags of pumpkin in my freezer. And I still have a whole pumpkin left to roast … Continue reading
Hi! I’m back! Things are a little nutty right now and I keep forgetting to photograph my work. But I did cook up a giant load of pumpkin the week after Halloween, and now I’m trying to find ways to use it. The night I cooked up all the pumpkin (that’s a big Cinderella pumpkin … Continue reading
This recipe is based on a Cooking Light recipe, but I changed up a bunch of stuff (some ingredients and some prep) so I’m posting my own version: 1 tablespoon olive oil 3/4 cup chopped onion 1 medium garlic clove, minced 1 pound boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 tablespoon ancho chili powder … Continue reading
A couple weeks ago I cooked some butternut and acorn squash in my slow cooker thinking it would be delicious. I cooked it on low for about 3 hours with a sprinkle of brown sugar and about a quarter of a cup of butter (for two squash). Long story short, it wasn’t good. It was … Continue reading
I’ve been struggling to find more ways to use winter squash in the dead of summer. There’s only so much stew a body can take. This recipe is great, although you still have to use your stove for frying: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/curried-butternut-potato-latkes-50400000108356/ The salsa was a little blah. Maybe more lime juice? Hotter peppers? A tarter apple … Continue reading
I don’t know much about growing seasons, but for some reason we get some winter squash in the dead of summer from our CSA. I’m not complaining – I love winter squash. It’s 105 degrees here in Texas today, but I decided to make one of my favorite comfort food recipes anyway. Maybe if I … Continue reading
This is another great veggie recipe that we use when we get a lovely big acorn squash in our CSA box. The recipe is from the Georgia Pecan Commission. It is simple as can be. Slice a squash, seed it, brush with olive oil and bake cut side down for half an hour. Flip over, … Continue reading
