The fresh tomatoes give the otherwise white creamy sauce a slight rosy colour and texture too. Leftovers are great for lunches.

Farfalle (bow tie) pasta

45 ml (3 tablespoons) olive oil

1 small onion, diced

Whoa, both those recipes sound wonderful. Definitely not diet food, but we do need to get our extra layer of fat, what with winter coming, you know! I love all the flavors in the rice pudding.

This is a great cake size for two people--

1 1/2 cups shredded peeled apples (about 2 medium apples)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

This one looks real good, it came off of the Rachael Ray site. Ginger Pumpkin Bread makes 2 loaves 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) melted butter 2 1/2 cups flour 2 tsp. baking powder 2 tsp. ground ginger 1 tsp. salt 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 can (15 oz.) canned pumpkin 3 eggs sugar glaze (optional - see below) 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter and flour two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 loaf pans (or spray with BakerÃ¢ÂÂs Joy). In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, ginger and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together both sugars, pumpkin, melted butter, and eggs. Add flour mixture and stir until just combined. 2. Divide batter evenly between the loaf pans. Bake 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center of loaves comes out clean. Let cool ten minutes and invert loaves onto a cooling rack to cool completely. 3. Once cool, glaze if desired. Combine 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar with 2 - 3 tablespoons of water in a liquid measuring cup. Stir until glaze is smooth and thick, with no lumps. Drizzle over loaves and let set 15 minutes prior to serving. Obsession-with-Sweet Potatoes Mash *I made this tonight, and it tastes very good, no butter added! Another Rachael Ray (I don't usually like her recipes) 2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 cup chicken stock 1/4 cup honey Juice of 1 lemon Salt and pepper Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste Boil potatoes until tender.

Beat together cream cheese, sugar, flour, and zests with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs and yolks, 1 at a time, then vanilla, beating on low speed until each ingredient is incorporated and scraping down bowl between additions. Put springform pan with crust in a shallow baking pan. Pour filling into crust (springform pan will be completely full) and bake in baking pan (to catch drips) in middle of oven 12 minutes, or until puffed. Reduce temperature to 200Ã¯Â¿Â½F and continue baking until cake is mostly firm (center will still be slightly wobbly when pan is gently shaken), about 1 hour more. Run a knife around top edge of cake to loosen and cool completely in springform pan on a rack. Chill cake, loosely covered, at least 6 hours. Remove side of pan and transfer cake to a plate. Bring to room temperature before serving. Crumb crust... 1 1/2 cups (5 oz) finely ground graham crackers or cookies such as chocolate or vanilla wafers or gingersnaps 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1/3 cup sugar 1/8 teaspoon salt Stir together crust ingredients and press onto bottom and 1 inch up side of a buttered 24-centimeter springform pan.

Spiced Cupcakes with Caramel Frosting LifeÃ¢ÂÂs Ambrosia Makes 12 cupcakes You will need: Cupcakes 1/2 cup butter, room temperature 2/3 cups granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1 large egg white 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups flour 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 cup milk Caramel Frosting 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 tablespoons caramel sauce 2 - 3 tablespoons milk 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Beat sugar and butter until well combined. Add eggs and egg white one at a time. Add vanilla. 3. In another bowl sift together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Add 1/2 of the flour mixture to the sugar mixture. Stir in milk. Add remaining flour mixture. Beat until smooth. 4. Place cupcake liners in a cupcake pan. Fill each liner 2/3 of the way full. 5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the cupcake comes out with just a few crumbs on it. I find that if it is too clean, my cupcakes come out dry. 6. Remove from oven and allow to cool. 7. While cupcakes are cooling make your frosting by beating together sugar and butter until smooth. Add in vanilla, caramel and 2 tablespoons of milk. Beat until stiff and spreadable. If needed add remaining tablespoon of milk . 8. Use a knife or a piping bag to frost cooled cupcakes. Serve.

Almond & Lemon-Crusted Fish with Spinach Coating fish with nuts and baking it is an easy, foolproof way to cook it elegantly. And it is especially nice with a mild white fish like cod or halibut. The spinach turns a little yellowy because it's cooked with the acidic lemon juice, but what you lose in green color is more than made up for in great flavor. 4 servings Ingredients Zest and juice of 1 lemon, divided 1/2 cup sliced almonds, coarsely chopped 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided Freshly ground pepper to taste 1 1/4 pounds Pacific cod or halibut (see Note), cut into 4 portions 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard 2 cloves garlic, slivered 1 pound baby spinach Lemon wedges for garnish Preparation Preheat oven to 400F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Combine lemon zest, almonds, dill, 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a small bowl. Place fish on the prepared baking sheet and spread each portion with 1 teaspoon mustard. Divide the almond mixture among the portions, pressing it onto the mustard. Bake the fish until opaque in the center, about 7 to 9 minutes, depending on thickness. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant but not brown, about 30 seconds. Stir in spinach, lemon juice and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the spinach is just wilted, 2 to 4 minutes. Cover to keep warm. Serve the fish with the spinach and lemon wedges, if desired.
