Spooky Yummies, have a wonderful night tonight, trick-or-treating around your neighborhood!
And please don’t throw that Jack-o-lantern away tomorrow… roast that bad boy at 400 F in an oven till the flesh is soft. Scoop the flesh away from the skin, and puree it till smooth. So that your pumpkin may have a life and an afterlife, here is a list of TYM pumpkin dishes and dishes in which you can easily substitute pumpkin puree for sweet potato or squash:
- Pumpkin Sandwich Cookies with Cream Cheese Filling
- Fall Lasagna
- Pumpkin Pancakes
- Soba Noodles with a Peanut Sauce and Butternut Squash
- Black Bean and Pumpkin Puree Quesadillas
- “O” Energy Bars
- Anne and Mira’s Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches
- Pepita Studded Squash Muffins
- Black Bean and Sweet Potato Hummus Faces
- Sweet Potato and Quinoa Croquettes
- Sweet Potato Tea Muffins
At the top of our list to make this week is the Fall Lasagna, since we will be making some fresh ricotta in cooking class this week and will have extra to add to this dish, and the Pumpkin Pancakes, a perennial favorite around our home. My daughter’s school had a bake sale on Friday, and we baked the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies from Anne and Mira’s Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches for the sale. Let’s just say that not every cookie made it to school.
Happy Halloween!
