I made Tricia's Maniladas - they were very good. Cheated by using used Herdez Tomatillo sauce.

Maniladas with White Cheese and Roasted Tomatillo Sauces
Recipe courtesy Sunny Anderson

Ingredients

1 (8-ounce) package manicotti shells
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 Vidalia onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded (we roasted a small chix & used about 3 cups cubed meat both white & dark)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
1/2 cup sour cream

For the Tomatillo sauce:

1 pound tomatillos, quartered
1 small red onion, quartered
1 jalapeno, halved
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the cheese sauce:

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups heavy cream, room temperature
2 cups grated fontina cheese
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Boil manicotti in salted water for 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water and set pasta aside.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Saute onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute 1 minute more. Remove pan from heat and mix in chicken, tomatoes, cilantro and sour cream. Set aside.

To make the Tomatillo Sauce:

Place tomatillos, onion, jalapeno and garlic in a baking dish. Toss with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until tomatillos turn golden around the edges and are soft, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and blend ingredients together until smooth. Use reserved pasta water to thin sauce, if necessary. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

To make the cheese sauce:

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add flour and cook 2 minutes. Whisk in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add cheese and nutmeg and stir until melted. Season sauce with salt, to taste.

To assemble:

Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Stuff manicotti tubes with chicken mixture and assemble in a 9 by 12-inch baking dish. Pour cheese sauce over the top. Bake 30 minutes until cheese is bubbling. Pour tomatillo sauce on Maniladas before serving.

Two other couples came over yesterday to play Canasta. We went out for dinner, & I made dessert. It was really good & tastes better warm. Despite the length of the recipe, it's easy to make, especially as it can be done a day ahead. There are a lot of apples, but the cake is better with a lot, & I rewarmed the leftover for breakfast this morning. Yum, yum. Brown-Sugar Spice Cake with Cream and Caramelized Apples from Gourmet, March 2006 For caramelized apples 8 Gala apples (3 1/2 pounds) 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar For cake 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar 1 large egg 1/2 cup dark amber or Grade B maple syrup 1/2 cup sour cream 1 teaspoon vanilla For cream 1 1/4 cups chilled heavy cream 1/2 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons sugar Special equipment: an 8-inch square nonstick cake pan (2 inches deep) Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter and flour cake pan, knocking out excess flour. Make caramelized apples: Peel and core apples, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Spread softened butter in an even layer over bottom of a 12-inch heavy skillet and sprinkle with brown sugar. Add apple wedges and cook over moderate heat, without stirring, until sugar is melted and apples start to give off Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are just tender and juices become syrupy, about 30 minutes more. Pour syrup from skillet into a small heatproof bowl, then sauté apples, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and very tender, about 30 minutes more. Return syrup to apples and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Make cake while apples cook: Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices in a bowl. Beat together butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy. Beat in egg until combined. Add maple syrup, sour cream, and vanilla and beat until combined well. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture, then mix until just incorporated. Spread batter in cake pan and bake until cake is golden brown and a wooden pick or skewer inserted in center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes. Make cream just before serving: Beat cream with sour cream and sugar using cleaned beaters at high speed until it just holds soft peaks. To serve: Run a thin knife around edge of pan, then invert cake onto a plate and cut into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with warm apple mixture and cream Cooks' notes: ·Caramelized apples can be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled, covered. Reheat over low heat. ·Cake can be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then kept, loosely covered with plastic wrap, at room temperature.

I found two real winners in March. I've already made the salmon/bread salad twice! This recipe is by Robin Davis, the food editor of The Columbus Dispatch, to feature one pot meals that aren't casseroles. She suggested adding some baby spinach leaves, and that was GREAT (pretty, too). She adapted it from one in Food & Wine magazine, so I looked that up the second time I made it. That one called for putting the dressing and parsley in during the cooking, not after, and added capers. I put capers in the second time. It's good, but not necessary. WARM PAN-ROASTED SALMON BREAD SALAD Makes 4 servings Salad: 4 cups large bread cubes (preferably from artisan or peasant bread loaf) 2 garlic cloves, smashed 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 2 pints grape or cherry tomatoes, halved Some baby spinach leaves and/or drained capers, optional Salt and pepper 1 pound skinless salmon fillet, cut into 2-inch chunks Juice of 1 lemon 1/4 cup chopped parsley Vinaigrette: 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil Salt and pepper To make salad: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Toss bread and garlic with 2 tablespoons oil. Roast 5 minutes until bread is lightly toasted. In a large bowl, toss the tomatoes with 1 teaspoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add to bread. Roast 10 to 12 minutes, just until the tomatoes begin to break down. Toss the salmon with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Nestle the salmon into the bread-and-tomato mixture. Roast until the salmon is just cooked through, about 6 minutes, adding spinach and/or capers a couple of minutes before done. To make vinaigrette: Transfer garlic to a small bowl and mash. Whisk in vinegar, mustard and thyme in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle vinaigrette over salad. Add parsley. Toss to combine (or put in with tomatoes). Serve immediately. PER SERVING: 612 calories; 28 g protein; 30 g carbohydrates; 3 g fiber; 42 g fat (7 g saturated); 63 mg cholesterol; 340 mg sodium Here's the other one. FABULOUS! It's from Mark Bittman in the NYT in late February. Uh oh, maybe it was still February when I made it ... We don't eat pork, so I used a TJ vegetarian chorizo. Next time I will use a kosher merguez or other spicy real sausage. But even with the fake stuff, this was dynamite. Fried Chickpeas With Chorizo and Spinach 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling 2 cups cooked or canned chickpeas, as dry as possible Salt and black pepper 4 ounces chorizo, diced 1/2 pound spinach, roughly chopped 1/4 cup sherry 1 to 2 cups bread crumbs. 1. Heat the broiler. 2. Put three tablespoons of the oil in a skillet large enough to hold chickpeas in one layer over medium-high heat. When its hot, add chickpeas and sprinkle with salt and pepper. 3. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until chickpeas begin to brown, about 10 minutes, then add chorizo. Continue cooking for another 5 to 8 minutes or until chickpeas are crisp; use a slotted spoon to remove chickpeas and chorizo from pan and set aside. 4. Add the remainder of the 1/4 cup of oil to the pan; when its hot, add spinach and sherry, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook spinach over medium-low heat until very soft and the liquid has evaporated. Add chickpeas and chorizo back to the pan and toss quickly to combine; top with bread crumbs, drizzle with a bit more oil and run pan under the broiler to lightly brown the top. Serve hot or at room temperature. Yield: 4 servings. Mmm, I can't wait to make these again.

Well, my first time posting this I had everything about done and my browser shut down for no apparent reason other than I was installing the latest Java update, which they bug me about nearly every day. I knew there was a reason I was ignoring it!! I'm really determined to post these recipes though, because they were really good and I think I mentioned that I would like to have a larger repertoire of Indian recipes. I like the idea of Indian food but am rarely pleased with my execution of it. I'm usually not crazy about the mix of spices, but these two dishes were so good I couldn't stop eating them. Easy peasy too, so give them a try if you'd like to try something Indian. However, be forewarned they are hard core vegegarian. The best BF could say about them is he didn't dislike them! Masoor Dal (Spiced Red Lentils), from an unkown blogger. Check out the link to the blog, the photos and description are what made this worthwhile. Prep Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 30 mins Serves: 6 Ingredients 1/2 teaspoon turmeric 1 teaspoon coriander powder 1 teaspoon cumin powder 1 teaspoon paprika (can use chili power for more kick) extra virgin olive oil 5 cloves garlic, grated 1 inch piece ginger, grated 1 small onion, diced 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and diced 1 14.5 ounce can Petite Cut tomatoes, liquid drained 2 cups masoor dal (red lentils), rinsed 5 cups water 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, chopped salt and pepper to taste Directions Measure out the spices into a small bowl and set aside. In a large pot or dutch oven on medium heat, add olive oil. When the oil starts bubbling stir in spices and cook for a minute. Add garlic and ginger and cook for another minute. Add onions and peppers and stir until the onions starts to soften. Add in tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes start to breakdown and get pulpy. Add in lentils and water and bring to boil. Turn heat low, cover and simmer until lentils are soft and tender, about 20 - 25 minutes. Stir in most of the chopped cilantro, reserving a little to garnish. Serve with naan or with basmati rice or both. Lpink's notes: I had to cook it more like 45 min. but I used half brown lentils since I ran out of red. Also, I didn't drain the chopped tomatoes, I used the juice as part of the liquid to cook the lentils, but added towards the end, as acids make bean skins tough. Easily cut in half but I forgot to do that at the outset. Ethiopian Cabbage Dish by stamarex. I made it Indian by adding garam masala Ingredients 1/2 cup olive oil (I only used 1/8 cup in the crockpot) 4 carrots, thinly sliced 1 onion, thinly sliced 1 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric 1/2 head cabbage, shredded (I diced) 5 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes (I used chunks of red potatoes with the skins mostly on) I added 1/4 tsp. garam malsa to the mix. Directions Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the carrots and onion in the hot oil about 5 minutes. Stir in the salt, pepper, cumin, turmeric, and cabbage and cook another 15 to 20 minutes. Add the potatoes; cover. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are soft, 20 to 30 minutes. Lpink's notes: I made this in the crockpot. I layered the veggies with the spices, except I didn't use salt and pepper I used seasoned salt, which had garlic, onion and lemon in it too. I used much less oil and mixed it with an equal amount of veg. broth at the bottom of the crockpot. I had to sprinkle a little more broth over it as it got closer to being done, so I used maybe 1/3 cup of broth overall. I put this in the crockpot initially on low, but turned it up afte a while since I only had 3-4 hours to cook it.

I made the pecan tart on Ann's blog. I sent it to the grandparent's house yesterday while still warm. Alice took it with her when she went for a visit yesterday. The recipe as given: Double Chocolate Pecan Pie ========================== For the filling: 3 tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar ½ tsp. salt 2 large eggs ½ cup corn syrup (I used half maple syrup, half corn syrup) 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 cup pecans, toasted and chopped into small pieces 3 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped 3 oz. bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped Butter-Lard Pastry ================== Edited: May/20092 cups all purpose flour 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup butter 1/3 cup lard (or shortening- Crisco) 5 to 6 tablespoons of ice water For sweet pies add 1 to 2 teaspoons white sugar. Mix flour with salt, and cut in butter and lard. An easy way to cut in the fat is to use a food Processor. Cut the butter and lard into cubes add to the flour and pulse. Butter/lard should be the size of peas. Pour mixture into a bowl and add the icewater, mixing quickly with a fork, just until the dough come stogether. Turn out on to floured board and form into a ball. Cut into two pieces, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for an hour. Another way to cut into the butter is to use a box grater. Makes the perfect size pieces of butter. Just make sure that the butter is very cold. NOTE: This crust is also perfect made with all butter. On a lightly-floured work surface, roll the pie dough out into a 12-inch round. Transfer the round to a 9-inch pie plate by rolling the dough around the rolling pin and unrolling it over the pie pan. Trim the edges as necessary and create a fluted pattern using a finger to make the indentations. Freeze the dough-lined pie plate until firm and very cold, about 30 minutes. Adjust an oven rack to lower middle position and heat the oven to 375° F. Remove the dough-lined plate from the freezer, press a sheet of foil inside the pie shell and fill with ceramic baking beads. Bake about 30 minutes, until the dough looks dry and light in color. Carefully remove the foil and weights. Continue baking the crust 5-6 minutes more, until light golden brown. While the pie crust is baking, make the filling. Melt the butter in a medium heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Remove the bowl from the double boiler but maintain the simmering water. Stir in the sugar and salt with a wooden spoon until the butter is absorbed. Beat in the eggs, corn syrup and vanilla. Return the bowl to the double boiler and heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is shiny and hot to the touch, about 130° F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the heat and stir in the pecans. As soon as the pie shell comes out of the oven, lower the oven temperature to 275° F. Pour the filling into the pie shell. Scatter the chopped chocolate pieces over the filling and press into the filling with the back of a spoon. Bake on the middle rack of the oven about 50-60 minutes, until the pie looks set but slightly soft, like gelatin, when gently pressed with the back of a spoon. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool for at least 4 hours. _________________________________________________________ With apologies to Ann, I got lazy! I also wanted all pecan, no chocolate. I omitted the chocolate and added another cup of pecans. I left the pecans as whole halves, I didn't chop, nor did I toast. I also didn't prebake the crust. I put the two cups of pecans in the chilled crust in the tart pan and poured the egg/sugar/butter/maple syrup mix (which I heated in the double boiler until the sugar was dissolved) over the pecans. I baked it at 350 until it was set and the crust was golden brown. About 45 minutes. The report from all who had a piece was that it was absolutely wonderful. Thank you Ann!

I made this one. It had received rave reviews. If I were to make it again I would use more wine and reduce more to thicken. Actually I probably will not make it again as there are many similar which are much better. Sauce was to thin and watery and it was low on taste IMO.

Chicken with Sun-dried Tomato Cream Sauce
Gourmet 2002
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 1/2 pound total)
Â 1 tablespoon olive oil
Â 4 garlic cloves, minced
Â 1/4 cup drained sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil; 1/2 ounce), patted dry and coarsely chopped
Â 3/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
Â 1/4 cup dry white wine
Â 3/4 cup chicken broth
Â 1/4 cup heavy cream
Â 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
Pat chicken dry and season with salt and black pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken, turning once, about 6 minutes total. (Chicken will not be cooked through.) Transfer with tongs to a plate.
Add garlic, tomatoes, and red pepper flakes to skillet and sautÃ©, stirring, until garlic is pale golden, about 1 minute. Add wine and boil, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil, covered.
Add chicken to skillet with any juices accumulated on plate and simmer, covered, until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer chicken with tongs to a platter and keep warm, loosely covered with foil. Stir cream and 2 tablespoons basil into sauce in skillet and bring just to a simmer.
Transfer sauce to a deep heatproof bowl or 1-quart glass measure and purÃ©e with an immersion blender until almost smooth. (Alternatively, blend sauce in a standing blender. Use caution when blending hot liquids.) If necessary, add water to thin to desired consistency, then season with salt and pepper.
Serve sauce over chicken and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons basil.

I intended to say in the post above that I used some of the fresh garlic that Annie sent me. The garlic was delicious in it, but even it couldn't save this recipe. I intend to try another one with garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and get back.

Tracey_oh posted this recipe on the Pir Recipe thread and I made it for Smokefest desert yesterday. OH MY WORD it is fantastic! I used a jar of homemade mango raspberry jam for the filling, real whipped cream instead of cool whip and added just a bit of almond extract to the topping since I like it.

Definitely recommended!

I made smoked beef ribs for the first time on Saturday - for that matter, it was my first time to use a smoker. They turned out fantastic - my DH in particular was in rib heaven - he had them for dinner on Saturday, breakfast yesterday and a post dinner snack last night. The dogs were also quite appreciative LOL.

I'm posting the recipe and instructions that I used - for a newbie like me they were detailed enough that I got great results.

Aromatic Beef Rib Rub

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------

This rib rub recipe contains lots and lots of spices and herbs for a rich, full flavor. To put together the rub, combine 3 tablespoons of onion powder with 3 tablespoons of white sugar, 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, 2 tablespoons of Old Bay® seasoning, 1 tablespoon black pepper, 2 teaspoons of celery salt, 2 teaspoons paprika, 2 teaspoons oregano, 1 teaspoon kosher or canning salt, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon powdered sage, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.

Combine all of the ingredients well. This will make about one cup of rub, which should be plenty for two racks of beef ribs. Apply a light coat to the ribs and rub it in. Now, sprinkle on another coat, shaking off what doesn't stick. A light coating is all you need. You could put these on the smoker now, but its better to let them rest overnight in the fridge, so the flavors can get into the meat.

Smoked beef ribs will need six to eight hours of low temperature cooking to reach their ultimate state of perfection. Shoot for a smoker temperature of 225 degrees for the entire smoke session. Oak or pecan is perfect for smoking these big boys.

Four hours into the smoke, take a look. Flip the ribs over, and check the water level in the pan if you're using a water smoker. In two hours, look again and test for doneness. Grab a side-by-side pair of ribs and pull them away from each other. If the meat tears easily, they're done.

If you like, you can baste the smoked beef ribs with a thinned down bbq sauce during the last half hour of smoking. A mix of half sauce and half apple juice or beer is fine. Just don't let the baste burn. Sugar burns easily, and it would spoil the taste you've been working so hard to achieve.

Now that they're done, separate the slab into individual ribs, and serve 'em with your favorite sauce. It's time for the real fun to begin

I was having the same ideas as Annie at the same time, and made a new recipe for Cinnamon Buns. It was a Cook's Country recipe, and I wanted to see what the difference cornstarch in the dough would make. I was very impressed, and the dough was beautiful, easy to make and roll out. Although these aren't my grandmother's cinnamon rolls, the recipe was actually less involved than those, and very good. We're still eating them, savoring them one at a time. I'll definitely make these again. Here's the recipe:

Dough
3/4 cup whole milk, heated to 110 degrees
1 envelope (2 1/4 tsp.) instant or rapid-rise yeast
3 large eggs, room temperature
4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp, salt
12 Tbs. unsalted butter, cut into 12 pieces and softened

Filling
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 Tbs. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
4 Tbs. unsalted butter, softened

Glaze
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 Tbs. whole milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar

1. For the dough: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 200 degrees. When the oven reaches 200 degrees, shut off. Line 13-by-9-inch baking pan with foil, allowing excess foil to hang over pan edges. Grease foil and medium bowl.

2. Whisk milk and yeast in measuring cup until yeast dissolves, then whisk in eggs. In bowl of stand mixer fitted with dough hook, mix flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt until combined. With mixer on low, add warm milk mixture in steady stream and mix until dough comes together, about 1 minute. Increase speed to medium, and add butter, one piece at a time, until incorporated. Continue to mix until dough is smooth and comes away from the sides of the bowl, about 10 minutes. Turn dough out onto clean surface and knead to form a smooth, round ball. Transfer dough to prepared bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and place in warm oven. Let rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours.

3. For the filling: Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in small bowl. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Roll dough into 18-inch square, spread with butter, and sprinkle evenly with filling. Starting with the edge nearest you, roll dough into tight cylinder, pinch lightly to seal seam, and cut into 8 pieces. Transfer pieces, cut-side up, to prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm spot until doubled in size.

4. For the glaze, and to bake: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk cream cheese, milk, vanilla, and confectioner's sugar on medium bowl until smooth. Discard plastic wrap and bake buns until deep golden brown and filling is melted, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and top buns with 1/2 cup glaze. Cool 30 minutes. Using foil overhang, lift buns from pan and top with remaining glaze. Serve.

Make ahead: After transferring pieces to prepared pan in step 3, buns can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for 24 hours. When ready to bake, let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Remove plastic wrap and continue with step 4 as directed.

I was watching Alton Brown (NOT my favorite host) making Tres Leches (I added the "s" at the end of Leche) Cake and on the same show, he did Dulce de Leche.

Oh yum!!!! If I get a chance, I'll take a picture & post it here, before it allll disappears into our tummies!

Since I can only put in one link--and I did that for the cake recipe--the website for the Dulce de Leche recipe is http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/dulce-de-leche-recipe/index.html

I made an apple cake yesterday with a gift of Granny Smith apples from a friend - it's absolutely fabulous so I figured I'd share. I subbed applesauce for half of the oil and frosted it with a powdered sugar glaze - next time I'll add some toasted walnuts too.

Enjoy,
Becky

Oh yay Alexa! Glad you liked the pie. I'm going to be making it this weekend for some company.

I made some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies with butternut squash I roasted since I still can't find any pumpkin! They were pretty good. It's so stinkin' humid here I had to keep them in the fridge and even then they stuck together in the container. The good thing was they were very light colored and so I just told my beyond picky kids that they were cinnamon chocolate chip cookies and they ate them up. If the words "butternut squash cookies" would have come out of my mouth, they would not have come within a mile of them. I also used pumpkin pie spice in place of the cinnamon.

Pumpkin Chocolate chip cookies

1 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
1.Combine pumpkin, sugar, vegetable oil, and egg. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Dissolve the baking soda with the milk and stir in. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and mix well.
2.Add vanilla, chocolate chips and nuts.
3.Drop by spoonful on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly brown and firm.

I made this pasta from Smitten Kitchen - a great "fresh" sauce for this time of year. It was enjoyed by all and was ready in the time it took the pasta to cook:

Linguine with Tomato-Almond Pesto [Pesto Trapenese]
Courtesy of Smitten Kitchen
Adapted from Gourmet

3/4 cup slivered almonds
1 large handful fresh basil leaves
1 to 2 large garlic cloves
Several sprinkles of sea salt
6 ripe plum tomatoes, quartered
1/2 cup grated Pecorino or Parmesan
1/4 to 1/3 cup olive oil
1 pound linguine

In a large skillet, sautï¿½ the almonds in a little olive oil until toasted. Let cool, then blend them in a food processor or blender until they are in coarse pieces. ("The size of orzo," the original recipe suggests.) Scoop them out of the processor and set them aside.

Put the basil, garlic and a few pinches of sea salt into the food processor and chop. Add the almonds back to the food processor (keeping them separate will keep them from getting too finely chopped as you get the basil and garlic to the right texture) with the tomatoes, cheese and olive oil and whirl briefly. Season it with freshly ground black pepper.

Cook your linguine until it is al dente and could use another minute of cooking time. Reserve one cup of pasta cooking water and drain the rest. Immediately toss the hot linguine with the pesto and mix quickly so that it drinks the sauce up a bit. Add more pasta water if needed. Serve this lukewarm, or at room temperature, with a glass of wine, after you get the baby to bed.

This weekend I tried this new recipe for rarebit over cauliflower from The English Kitchen blog. I had it Sunday night and again tonight and I really like it. I did not use the bread slices under the cauliflower and my mix of cheeses was what I had on hand, but it's very tasty and makes a good dish for a meatless meal. The mixture will keep refrigerated for about 5 days.

Cauliflower Rarebit

Bread slices, toasted, rub with a cut clove of garlic

Cook cauliflower florets 5 min. in boiling water, drain well. (I steamed the cauliflower florets for 5 minutes.)

Cheese mix:

1 cup Gruyere or Swiss

1 cup sharp cheddar

1 cup mild cheddar

1 TB Dijon mustard

2 eggs, beaten

2 TB beer

4 TB cream

1 t. Worcestershire sauce

ï¿½ t. cayenne

S&p

Mix all in a bowl. Put bread slices on a baking sheet and top with cauliflower, then top with cheese mixture. Broil 5 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Serve hot.

Also good on roasted vegetables or cooked potatoes, baked potatoes, or potato wedges.
