Sunday Afternoon Goal – Time for baking with pumpkins to get through this shitty ass mood I’ve been in all week while listening to the BILLS game. All Things ?– fudge, scones, biscotti, bread/muffins, spice cake, truffles, cookies. Who knows. But the kitchen will smell glorious. I’ve processed about 6 pumpkins so far for seeds and puree…will want to do at least 6 more for later. Gosh, I love pumpkins.
Update:
And, after a (somewhat painful but OMG 5-1 BILLS WIN!) this is what I ended up with.
Pumpkin Apple Breads (one w/walnuts one w/ chocolate chips)
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds (sprinkled with a touch of turmeric)
Tomato Pumpkin Soup –Jar of homemade tomato sauce, two cups fresh pumpkin puree, jar of homemade veggie stock, a stick of butter, fresh basil, more fresh basil and salt & pepper. Into the Instant Pot for soup amount of minutes.
Mashed Potatoes (w/ heavy cream and lots of butter because LIFE IS SHORT)
Mushroom Spaghetti Squash Lasagna
Not photographed – two crockpot pumpkin spice cakes (to be used for truffles) and a pan of roasted thai basil chicken thighs.
And I have more fresh pumpkin in the crockpots cooking…
I REALLY want to make pumpkin fudge. And I need to do biscotti and scones too. And my boss requested cinnamon rolls. (I want to try this recipe.) But, I’m just, well, tired. Maybe I’ll find more time for baking with pumpkins next weekend?
