Pumpkin Smoothie


Miguel-approved

We have continued our pantry-emptying journey. This week we ate shrimp with wontons, falafel, soup, biscuits eith sausage gravy, and pot roast with potatoes and carrots. We have eaten out once or twice but still going strong with our cooking.

Tonight I made pumpkin muffins and pumpkin bundt cake from frozen pumpkin. It only required three cups of pumpkin and we had four so I decided to make a pumpkin smoothie. Here’s the recipe:

Pumpkin Smoothie (serves 1)

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin
  • 1 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup raw cane sugar
  • Sprinkles of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves

Use a blender or whisk to froth up. Enjoy!

Waste not, want not! Now my kiddo had an extra full belly before bed (he only had pot roast and a giant cupcake and licking the spoon…lol growing boy!). I sort of wished there was more. Maybe I’ll find more frozen pumpkin as we eat away at our freezers!

Anyway, what recipes have you incented lately? Tell me below!

Partners in Cheese: Cottage Cheese


I have a new friend, Margaret, who is as excited about making cheese as I am! Hurray!!! A couple weeks ago we made mozzarella and last Saturday she came over for about eight hours to make cottage cheese. I get all my supplies from http://www.cheesemaking.com/
We had great fun and are planning to make feta in august!
Here are some pics!!!

In the end it wasn’t quite like cottage cheese but it was definitely cheese and it wasn’t a bad first try!!!
