This morning I was looking at my home page and I realized that there is a lot of orange sweet potato and pumpkin going on. Considering the time of year I think it is very fitting. Maybe I should go red and green when Christmas comes around? Got any green and red recipes that I can try out for Christmas? In keeping with the autumn orange theme I got the idea to try a sweet potato gnocchi covered in gouda cheese sauce. The idea was to do it in a stovetop mac and cheese kind of style. I have never made a potato gnocchi before. First and most important you need 1 pound of sweet potato. In the photos I as preparing a double recipe so that is why you see so many potatoes. Pierce the potatoes with a fork. Microwave the potato for 5-6 minutes on each side, until tender.

Slice the potatoes in half and let cool. Scoop out the flesh of the potatoes and mash, you need 1 1/2 cups of mashed potato. Add Parmesan cheese, brown sugar, 1 teaspoons salt, and nutmeg; mash to blend. You have made a roux! Gnocchi. Homemade Baked Mozzarella Sticks | Penelope's Oasis - StumbleUpon.

The other day my friend sent me a text and asked, “I want to try making doughnuts and want to make churros but they look difficult. Are they tricky to get right?!” I replied, “Nope! In fact, churros are the easiest doughnuts of all to make. There are only basic three steps!” She didn’t believe me, so I whipped up a batch that night, outlining the three steps and texted her with photos at each stage just to prove my point (hooray for technology!).

She was so surprised that it only took me about twenty minutes to prepare a fresh batch of these delicious crispy doughnuts.

Spinach, Mushroom and Pesto Lasagna - StumbleUpon. When I was growing up, my Mom kind of took meatless Lenten meals to the extreme. Not only was it forbidden to eat meat, she was fairly adamant about making sure we ate something that we really didn't like.

There were no Friday night fish fries at the Legion Hall for us. Not once in my childhood did a Phil A. O'Fish sandwich cross my lips. I think that in her eyes, dining out on Fridays in Lent was a sin. (Although to this day I'm not really sure if it was a mortal sin or merely a venial sin. I should probably check that out, eh?) So Mom...

In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta cheese, garlic powder and egg. In a large skillet heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Drain lasagna noodles.

Spaghetti squash is a delicious and healthy alternative that is high in fiber and low in calories. Once cooked the inside of a spaghetti squash looks just like pasta and you can make it however you would normally make a pasta dish.

There are several ways to cook a spaghetti squash. You can microwave it, bake it, boil it or crock pot it. I pierced it with a knife several times (if you don't pierce it you will end up with a squash explosion..yes this happened to me one time when I tried to microwave it) and boiled it whole for about an hour. Once it has cooked and cooled, cut it in half and remove the seeds. Use a fork to scoop out the spaghetti. You can season it however you want! Lunch Sandwich Round-Up - KitchenDaily - StumbleUpon.

Corn with coconut milk (Ginataang mais) When this month’s Kulinarya Cooking Club theme was announced, I was incredibly excited. The theme was gata, which is Filipino for coconut milk.

Anything made with coconut milk was fair game, and the posts so far have covered both savory and sweet bases. With the wealth of choices available, I expected to be overwhelmed by the task of choosing just one. However, my mind pretty much made itself up for me early on, and despite my attempts to steer it toward more creative lines, it stubbornly held on to its first choice.

It’s an understandable choice, since I’m in New Jersey and have access to incredibly sweet corn grown in a field right in our town. Corn with coconut milk, or ginataang mais, is very simple to make. You don’t even need to dirty your measuring cups. The ingredients are fairly easy to come by, too. Want a closer look at that rice? I love sweet rice. This recipe is easy enough to make with kids. It’s a great afternoon treat to throw together.
