Sugar Pumpkin Curry Cream SoupWe grow sugar pumpkins and after the harvest, I always break them down and puree them and pop them into the freezer for a long Winter's use. In addition to pies (of course), tarts, cookies, breads, custard and sauce - I love sugar pumpkin soup. As you can imagine, this member of the squash family is somewhat sweeter, has fewer seeds… |

Peanutty Oatmeal CookiesA different take on peanut butter cookies. The oatmeal adds chewiness, and the chopped peanuts add extra crunch. For an over-the-top serving, spread a cookie with a smear of peanut butter and dab of jelly. |

Leftover 2-Bean StewA quick bite using odds & ends was WAY too delicious not to post. Forget 8-bean and even 18-bean soups - 2 cans of beans, a few veggies and a little smoked sausage turned a toss-off dish into a tasty winner! I had no intention when I threw this together to share it with anyone other than a couple of hungry mouths in the kitchen.… |

Bacon Mac (Macaroni & Cheese with Bacon)It's hard to improve on an American classic, but I think this recipe based on Cooking Light Magazine (9/09) does just that.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip CookiesThese peanut butter cookies have crunchy chopped peanuts and either chopped semisweet chocolate chunks or jumbo chocolate chips.
