Hi Kat,

I like to take an assortment of vegetables and toss them with olive oil and sea salt then roast them in a 325 oven for an hour. Usually i will cut up a few different root vegetables, brussel sprouts, whatever seems like a good idea at the time.

A veggie casserole that I mad long ago was just cut up fresh, broccoli, spinach, zucchini, red pepper, carrots, onion, plum tomato (you can add anything) mixed with light sour cream, shredded extra sharp cheddar and shredded monterey jack. Roughly 3 cups of veg, one cup of sour cream and 2 cups of cheese. I think I added a little milk, salt, pepper and Tabasco.
Pour this into a casserole dish and top with fresh bread crumbs. Bake for 45 mins on 325.

You may have to play around with those measurements I am estimating.

I enjoy apple pie anytime! I prefer the one with a crumb topping or a caramel drizzle over it. mmm. mmm. I also like pumpkin pie during these fall holidays. Ice cream over a warm pie slice is great too! Have to have a nice cup of hot chocolate or dark roast coffee with it!

Is it a pie or is it a cake or all in it's own category? Cheesecake I like strawberry or plain ol'.

Maybe we'll see some more recipes up here for pies. Here is one for pumpkin croissants we tried a few weeks ago. Instead of cutting all the crescent rolls in half, we made some whole ones and prefer that. Also I would prefer more pumpkin and less of the cream cheese. We also used cinnamon instead of p. pie spice to roll them in with the sugar.

For 32 mini croissants use 2 tubes of refrigerated crescent rolls. Roll each crescent roll out and cut lengthwise in 2.

1/2 block of cream cheese
1 cup of canned pumpkin
1 - 2 T pumpkin pie spice
3 - 4 T sugar (granulated or powdered)

Beat together until fluffy and creamy. Mix together 4 T sugar and 1 T pumpkin pie spice and roll each pumpkin pie croissant in it. Bake at 375* for 15-18 minutes.

Great post ruff..thank you for the recipe. That looks like something that would be fun to make with kids.

I agree it would be great to see some pie recipes posted in here.

Where are all the bakers?

So as I posted before about honey and I making steak/shrimp -- we changed our plans to make our little tday a real tday. I'm so excited to be cooking in the kitchen with her -- we have so much fun. (Music in the back ground and dancing too!)

I am going to make butternut squash soup for my folks for Wednesday--

Favourite pies:

Pumpkin
Pecan
Peach

Sachita · 11-19-2012, 06:57 PM

you mentioned maki rolls and nori in another thread. Lets talk about that. Nori is great for you and so many recipes. How do you make your sushi rice?

anyone know how to make good hon dashi with msg?

spritzerJ · 11-19-2012, 07:03 PM

Ohhh ahk reminded me I do love peach pie. goodness peaches are my favorite food.

My mom used to make pie squares when we were young. I call it portable pie. As a busy mom, in the summer she when she could not take the time and heat of the oven to make a full grown pie she made pie squares. essentially a thin pie on a cookie sheet (raised edges). Bottom crust rolled, single layer of fruit (apple or peach) and another crust. Using her pizza cutter to cut up pie squares. You get the picture. Heaven in a square. Gone in a flash.

On of my current favorite pies is sour cream lemon. This recipe is delightful.

Sushi rice, rinse 3x in cold water. Cook 1C rice to 2 1/2C water. When it is hot I toss it in a wooden bowl with a wooden spatula (the Japanese Chefs are very specific about not using metal with rice) let it cool down a bit. Then I toss in a little Mirin. At room temp it is ready to roll.

What I have noticed over the years is that sometimes I have to adjust the water depending on the type of rice that I am using and altitude. Trial and error.

I love Nori and eat the strips as a snack. I also add it to soups.

Whenever I have made Dashi I buy the dried flakes in an Asian market. In SF I was spoiled being near Japantown. Do you mean with MSG or with no MSG?

Very happy for you. You two must be quite a cute couple.

Cooking together can be so much fun. Especially when you both can cook!

Feel free to post a Butternut Squash soup recipe.

We are off to a good start with recipes for the holidays, keep them coming in everyone!

Do you mean Anasazi beans? I used to buy them at Trader Joe's. Otherwise I don't know which beans you mean, but you could check the catalog at Native Seeds Search; they have pretty good descriptions and that might send you in the right direction. http://www.nativeseeds.org/

Spritzer, thank you for the pecan pie recipe! I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Sorry wrong state. They are Pinto Beans from NM.

Not easy to find but they can me mail ordered.

Sun · 11-19-2012, 07:55 PM

Wrong they are wholesalers. Ok now I see why they are hard to come by

No mail order directly from the tribe. My mistake.

Gee you are picky!

Any particular brands that you like? I know that we use a lot of Cal Rose in CA.

Bit · 11-19-2012, 08:12 PM

Maybe Navajo Pride is a trade name rather than a variety name? I didn't find them in the catalog, anyhow, and they have 79 varieties of spefically southwestern Native American common beans.

I'll be making my first pecan pie this holiday. Dear Stoney is earning one.

Not in any particular order. I am a pie person. Not so much into cake. However, The General prefers cake. Gotta come up with some cute chocolate cake recipe for Thanksgiving.

I am cooking away from home and in a new "family members" house so I am anxious about having needed supplies. I'm making my to pack list now. Just in case.

Oh sweet love, you're just so good to me. I know it will be a great pie. Everything you fix is delicious! Edward's brand use to make a frozen pecan cheesecake that had me always wanting to attempt a homemade version.

We'll save that for another time though. I'm excited for all the pies and your homemade whipped cream! Yum!!
