Sadly the bread didn't last long enough to be frozen. It became desert instead of making cookies or cakes. Toasted with some butter and it was a nice alternative.

Ah I see. Yep the puree does freeze well. Found a fun recipe at Mugglenet, don't think it's been posted yet.

Rosmerta's Recipes - Pumpkin Juice
Pumpkin Juice, a favorite for feasts at Hogwarts that you can now take home with you!

Ingredients:
◦2 cups of pumpkin, chopped up into chunks
◦2 cups of apple juice
◦½ cup of pineapple juice
◦1 teaspoon of honey (more or less to your liking
◦Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg and/or Allspice (all ground, to taste)


Directions:

Step 1: Juice the pumpkin pieces by squeezing through a cheesecloth or using a juicer if you have one.

Step 2: Pour the pumpkin juice, apple juice and pineapple juice into a blender.

Step 3: Add the honey (we recommend you start with 1 teaspoon, as you can add some later!) to the juices and blend thoroughly.

Step 4: Add your spices (to taste). This might take some experimentation to get right.

Step 5: Chill your pumpkin juice or serve iced and enjoy!

Never cared for apple pie myself but it gets made for Thanksgiving and Christmas here as it's Dad's fave. We use Grandma's recipe for it. That one looks a lot different. Maybe when he isn't expecting one I can try this recipe.

Caramel and Chocolate Pecan Bars (of course I tweaked it, used chopped pecans and lots of them, and lots of choc chips!)

FOR THE CRUST:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup Land O Lakes Salted Butter, softened
1 cup pecan halves

FOR THE CARAMEL LAYER:
2/3 cup Land O Lakes Salted Butter
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

FOR THE CHOCOLATE TOPPING:
1 cup real semi-sweet chocolate chips

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine all crust ingredients except pecans in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Press onto bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan.

Place pecans evenly over unbaked crust.

Combine 2/3 cup butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until entire surface of mixture comes to a boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Pour evenly over pecans and crust.

Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until entire caramel layer is bubbly. (Do Not Overbake.) Remove from oven. Immediately sprinkle with chips; allow to melt slightly (2 to 3 minutes). Swirl chips leaving some whole for a marbled effect.

Cool completely; cut into bars. Store at room temperature in loosely covered container.

Makes 36 bars

Recipes to share! - Page 2 Empty corn flake chicken?

Post  Greatheart Sat May 03, 2014 8:27 am

Not exactly a recipe, but..

I'm old enough to remember the years BS&B - Before 'Shake & Bake' came on the market. My mother used to make chicken with corn flakes for a crust. Delicious! Crunchy goodness! Yummm!

Okay, fast forward to a few weeks ago. I had a mess of chicken, and while I like S&B just fine, the old corn flake chicken popped into my mind. So, (after driving over the mountain and back for a box of corn flakes) I attempted to re-create this old classic. I put a bunch of c-flakes into a gallon zip bag, added some spices, and proceeded to crush it all into a reasonable consistency.

My choice of spices was garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika and celery salt, but 'your mileage may vary'. Seasoning is entirely up to the chef, n'est-ce pas?

Dipped the chicken in this mix, placed on a baking sheet. 400 degree F oven for about 45 minutes and dang! that smells good!

It was. And I had leftovers for lunch at work, which is even better ;-)

Anyway, several variations are available if you google it, or search youtube.

In hindsight, I should have used a rolling pin to crush the c-flakes, but that would have meant another trip over the mountain. And you don't want them crushed too fine. Crunch rules!

Greatheart I had the cornflake chicken growing up in addition to the s&b version. Like both and made up my own corn flake variety a few weeks ago. I used the dried versions of sweet basil, oregano, thyme, parsley, granulated garlic, with a pinch of sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper mixed in the crushed corn flakes. Very yummy indeed.

Yours sounds more 'Italian' than mine. I want to do this with chicken breast tenders for dipping. Yours would go well with a marinara sauce dip. I'm thinking of an Asian style, maybe spice up the c-flakes with garlic and ginger. Sweet-spicy sauce for dipping.

Now I have to head to the grocery store again...

And I have to admit, since I started this, I've been saving the S&B for pork chops. ;-)

Thanks for the crunchy cornflake fried chicken ideas. My Mom made fried chicken, but we just used flour, salt and pepper. I should try this sometime.

This site has hundreds of crockpot recipes. Stephanie O'Dea decided that she would try to use the crockpot every day for a year and post the results. She's still finding and sharing -

PLUS, if you are eating or cooking gluten-free, all her recipes are GF. (I don't, but she tells you what to substitute of you wish.)

MMD, this is baked, not fried, a bit healthier of you use leaner cuts. I'm a big fan of boneless & skinless thighs, I still trim them as lean as possible. Baked or grilled, awesome good eating.

MMD I actually do serve mine as an Italian meal with a bit of pasta and marinara sauce and a nice garlic bread.

We do most of our meats baked or grilled these days too and we tend to trim off the extra fat and remove the skin from chicken. Helps
keep the meal a bit healthier.

Will have to try the Asian influenced variety of the corn flake chicken sometime, sounds yummy.

Recipes to share! - Page 2 Empty stainless steel pans

Post  Greatheart Sun Sep 14, 2014 6:02 pm

Some time ago a friend wrote elsewhere that he had bought a new, and very expensive stainless steel frying pan. I looked into it and a) the good ones are indeed expensive but b) when you learn how to use them the quality and taste of food improves a lot.

Today I made chicken in a spicy Asian sauce. I did it the easy way, in a crock  pot. The sauce was spicy but the meat was non-descript.

In a good stainless pan, I'd have seared the chicken, removed the meat from the pan, deglazed the pan as a base for the sauce., which I would then reduce. The 'fond' - the crispy bits from frying, would have added flavor to the sauce, and the meat itself would have that seared goodness the crock pot doesn't give you.

So, I'll keep my crock pots, but cooking properly requires good equipment and technique. Live and learn.

PS - the frying pans i use are made by 'All Clad' and they're not cheap, but 'heirloom quality' seldom is. Your grand-children will love these! ;-)

PPS - there are a lot of good videos on youtube demonstrating good cooking techniques with heavy steel pans. great for learning new recipes and techniques

Greatheart your dish sounds great. If I ever win the lottery it would be nice to get those kinds of pans. Right now we have one really good stainless steel pan from the Wolfgang Puck collection the rest of the hour pans are cast iron.
