Pumpkin Mashed Potatoes Recipe

I dont cook with canned pumpkin nearly enough, it seems most cooks only use it for making pumpkin pie, but since Im not a pumpkin-pie-kinda-gal (not everyone is, right?) the canned pumpkin rarely ever makes it into my cart.

Well, 2 weeks ago, it finally did. I dared myself to make something with it and if you can just imagine me at the grocery store, pacing around and around with a can of pumpkin in my hand, mumbling to myself (I justdare you, Jaden,double-dare!), youve got the right mental picture.

I read somewhere recently (I know, so very specific, right?) I just dont exactly remember where but somewhere out there in the internets about people who dont like to mess with mashed potatoes. No shaved parmesan, no truffle oil, no stir-ins or sprinkle-ons. Just plain ol mashed potatoes..which is TOTALLY fine by me, but potatoes deserve to have a little fun too, right?

I settled on pairing pumpkin with mashed potatoes and added ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Of course, butter and a bit of heavy cream as well. Kelly and I tasted the pumpkin mashed potatoes and decided that it needed more.

We added maple syrup for a tiny hit of sweetness. But the flavor was still flat. Normally, that means its missing umami and when cooking Asian dishes, I reach for soy sauce, fish sauce or miso paste. For non-Asian dishes,Worcestershiresauce, anchovy paste or demi-glace.

After rounds of testing, miso paste was the winner. I know it may sound a little strange to add miso paste to mashed potatoes but dont tell that to one of the most famous restaurants in Las Vegas! (Heres my recipe for Miso Mashed Potatoes)

Surprisingly, miso paste added the richness and savoryness that the recipe had lacked. It helps pull together all of the flavors warming spices, sweet maple syrup, creamy pumpkin.

If you dont have miso paste, try 1 teaspoon ofWorcestershireSauce in its place.

By the way, this makes a perfect side dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner!

Pumpkin Mashed Potatoes

Servings: 6 Prep Time:10 minutes Cook Time:25 minutes

If you have Miso & Easy, use the regular flavor! If not, any regular or low-sodium miso paste is perfect. If you don't have miso paste, substitute with 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire Sauce.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
15 ounce can pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons miso paste
1/2 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper
minced fresh chives or parsley (optional)

Directions:

1. Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to boil, turn to heat to medium-low and cook potatoes for 20 minutes or until you can easily pierce with a fork. Make sure when you cook the potatoes, that the water is a very low boil (a bubble burp every couple of seconds) - a big, rolling boil will make your potatoes mushy. Drain water.

2. Mash the potatoes. Mash and stir in the remaining ingredients to the mashed potatoes until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

My hens are teenagers

This summer, our little itty bitty baby chicks that arrived in April began laying eggs. It usually takes about 6 months before chickadees develop into egg-layers, and like an impatient mother, I kept looking in the coop twice a day to check if my babies were growing right.

Well, grow they did! And fast, too these kids spend most of the daylight hours scrounging for food on the property. Those bugs must be nutritious! We also feed them Black Soldier Fly Larvae (I know, it sounds gross, right?)

This little gal, who used to look like:

Grew up to be a gorgeous soft orange-yellow hen. Shes a gentle giant and her feathers are so soft and fluffy. Shes like a giant pillow. We had originally named her Nugget but it seems a little cruel now, since shes my favorite. Nugget will just hang out in your arms and be content as long as youre feeding her bugs.

This oneis one of the most timid of the flock. Heres her baby pic:

She surprised us all turning into a 5-toed, speckled, feather-footed hen with fluffy earmuffs that sometimes blocks her view and she runs into stuff sometimes.

Ack! I cant see! Someone trim my puffy muffs!

Look at her feather covered feet. So funky!

Spotty, who looked like she has a mask on.

grew up to be a Sicilian Buttercup with a large, wobbly buttercup shaped comb that flaps around when she waddles. Poor thing is the smallest and gets picked on by the others. I want to put little spurs on her legs so she can at least defend herself!

Weve been keeping them in the coop the past few weeks as I just planted my winter garden and the hens LOVE LOVE LOVE to eat the baby seedlings, especially lettuce.

They are not too fond of Buster, our 5-month old puppy, though. Anytime Buster or Coco are near the coop, the hens will freak out and go hide upstairs.

Every egg is precious, we collect them in the late afternoon.

A few days ago, one of the hens laid a strange egg. A normal egg is on the left, and the one on the right was really rough and scratchy. The inside of the egg looked just fine. Tasted just fine too

Any hen owners know what caused this? We only saw one egg like this, and ever since all eggs have been normal.

This is one of my go-to dishes when Ive run out of time, have barely any fresh ingredients in the house and in need of a spicy fix. Thai curry only takes 15 minutes to make, from start to finish, including the rice if you use my microwave method.

The recipe is crazy flexible use whatever seafood youd like I happen to have a bag of frozen bay scallops in the freezer and a couple of bell peppers. The Thai curry paste and coconut milk both are from a can, the rice from the pantry.

Oh yes, the rice! Its actually a blend of quinoa and jasmine rice. All you need to do is stir in a couple of spoonfuls of quinoa grains to the raw rice and cook them together.

The boys LOVE rice, but arent big fans of quinoa but its so healthy for them that I mix it in (sorry, boys!)

The Thai basil is from my garden, but you can use regular fresh basil that you can find at the market. Or leave it out if you dont want it!

Ive been busy creating videos for each recipe it doubles the work required in creating recipes, but I think the video is worth it. Generally, from start to finish, a recipe now takes me and my team 15 hours.

If youre curious, Ill have to detail out what we do step by step in recipe development and publishing soon!

Thai Seafood Curry Recipe

Servings: 4 Prep Time:5 minutes Cook Time:10 minutes

This Thai Seafood Curry Recipe only takes 15 minutes to cook. You can cook the rice in the microwave (see link in the recipe below) while you cook the curry on the stovetop.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups rice
1 teaspoon cooking oil
4 ounce can of Thai curry paste
14 ounce can of coconut milk
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 pound seafood: bay scallops, shrimp, fish, etc.
sprig of fresh basil, leaves torn

Directions:

1. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Here are my instructions for how to cook rice in the microwave.

2. In a wok or saute pan, heat up the cooking oil over medium-low heat. When shimmering, carefully add in about half of the curry paste and stir for 15 seconds to release its flavors. Whisk in just 1/4 cup of the coconut milk until the curry paste is fully mixed in. Pour in the remaining coconut milk, turn the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer.

3. Whisk in the fish sauce and taste. If you'd like it more spicy, add in more curry paste. If the curry needs more flavor (not necessarily spice), add in additional fish sauce.

4. Add in the bell peppers and the the scallops. Simmer for 4 minutes or until the scallops are just cooked through. Turn off the heat. Stir in the fresh basil. Serve over rice.

Roasted Pumpkin Recipe

This week is time to celebrate. For the first time since March, I can open the doors and windows of my house without the outside blowing in hot, humid, furnace-like air. In the mornings and late at night, it actually feels like we dont live in the jungle.

Other reasons to celebrate, Trader Joes Pumpkin Spice Coffee+ Keurig + Eco Brew reusable capsule thingy so that I can use my own coffee.

That makes my morning!

Despite the weather being manageable in the early morning and late night, its still unbearably hot the rest of the time. Which means no carved pumpkins for us South Floridians the pumpkins MELT in the heat. If we carve it, theres only a window of about 3 days that the pumpkin can stay outside without looking like a sad jack-o-puddle.

We roast em. Its a great side dish for the Fall (this will be part of my Thanksgiving dinner!)
