Spooky Yummies, have a wonderful night tonight, trick-or-treating around your neighborhood!
And please don’t throw that Jack-o-lantern away tomorrow… roast that bad boy at 400 F in an oven till the flesh is soft. Scoop the flesh away from the skin, and puree it till smooth. So that your pumpkin may have a life and an afterlife, here is a list of TYM pumpkin dishes and dishes in which you can easily substitute pumpkin puree for sweet potato or squash:
- Pumpkin Sandwich Cookies with Cream Cheese Filling
- Fall Lasagna
- Pumpkin Pancakes
- Soba Noodles with a Peanut Sauce and Butternut Squash
- Black Bean and Pumpkin Puree Quesadillas
- “O” Energy Bars
- Anne and Mira’s Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches
- Pepita Studded Squash Muffins
- Black Bean and Sweet Potato Hummus Faces
- Sweet Potato and Quinoa Croquettes
- Sweet Potato Tea Muffins
At the top of our list to make this week is the Fall Lasagna, since we will be making some fresh ricotta in cooking class this week and will have extra to add to this dish, and the Pumpkin Pancakes, a perennial favorite around our home. My daughter’s school had a bake sale on Friday, and we baked the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies from Anne and Mira’s Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches for the sale. Let’s just say that not every cookie made it to school.
Happy Halloween!

Can’t wait to read about the ricotta! I always like to have some in the fridge in case of a dinner emergency.
Great pictures!

Your little princess and cowboy look so sweet!
And the pumpkin treats sound delishiousa (new word:).
The pumpkin choc. chip ice cream sandwiches and the pumpkin pancakes got my attention. We’ve been basking in pumpkin here too, the Japanese pumpkin called Kabocha is sweet and we’ve been making it simmered, mashed, and for halloween my daughter made pumpkin manju (japanese sweet buns) that she decorated to look like scary eye-balls!
I have been slow with posts, maybe will post them too, inspired by your pumpkin post:)) happy fall days,
PS you asked about the Things Japanese II book; yes, it is Available at Amazon.com, you can click on the link on my “Aikawarazu book of the month” or in the post should get there too. Thanks, and enjoy !
