Thanksgiving recipe

Pumpkin pie is the common sweet dessert during thanksgiving. I searched the net which recipe uses a raw pumpkin since a lot of recipes I read uses caned pumpkin. So here’s one I got from Cooks.com

PUMPKIN PIE

2 c. pumpkin, cut into half-inch pieces
1/4 cup liquid from cooked pumpkin
1 c. raisins, soaked in 1/4 cup dark rum
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 tbsp. molasses
1 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg yolk, beaten

This recipe uses cubes of raw pumpkin rather than canned pumpkin. Winter squash may also be used.

In medium saucepan, add 1 tbsp. of butter and 1/2 cup water to pumpkin, and simmer over medium heat, which should take approximately 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup liquid. Mash or puree pumpkin. Add raisins, rum, cooked pumpkin, and remaining ingredients. Stir until well combined.

Turn into pastry lined 9 in. pie plate. Flute edges. Set in preheated 400 degree oven. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake about 30 minutes longer.

Going vegetarian

I received an ads email about alli and being curious about it i browse the set website and found it it is a diet pill. I remember how my sister teased me before whenever I cant stop myself raiding our kitchen. She said someday you might using diet pills if you don’t practice dieting. This time she still tease me to turn into vegetarian like my husband and that I will no longer have problems with loosing weight.

Vegie juice

There was this digital signage about the vegetables juice combined with fruit juices. The last time I went to the supermarket I bought a two just to taste how it was. I didn’t like the taste and I find the fresh fruit or vegetable juice more healthier and cheaper too. So what I did I brought out my juice extractor and made an orange carrot juice. It was also a great chilly and refreshing one.
