    Hi Dave,


    Title: Hot Fudge Cake
    Categories: Cakes, Chocolate, Desserts
    Yield: 9 servings

    This was always one of the family favorite desserts when I was growing
    up. Mom would double the recipe, using a 13"x9" pan, making it last for
    3 meals for a family of 7. I made it fairly often when our girls were at
    home, haven't in years tho. Not too long ago Rachel texted me, asking
    for the recipe so I took a picture of it, texted it back to her. (G)
    I usually skipped the nuts; mom would put them in sometimes but more
    often make it without and it tasted just as good.

    Struck a nerve, huh? My cake making these days is more likely to by a
    mug cake made in the nuker. If I'm make a cake to take to a "do" off
    site it will probably be this one ... which I've made many times and is
    always a hit.

    Title: Death By Chocolate Bundt Cake
    Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Chocolate, Dairy
    Yield: 12 Slices

    15 1/2 oz Box Devils Food Cake mix
    3 7/8 oz Box instant chocolate
    - pudding mix
    1/2 c Water
    1/2 c Oil
    4 lg Eggs
    1 c Dairy sour cream
    12 oz Bag Chocolate Chips
    Chocolate syrup; garnish
    Powdered sugar; garnish
    Shortening & flour for pan

    Combine cake mix, pudding mix, water, oil, eggs and sour
    cream. Whisk until well combined and there are no dry
    clumps. Add in your chocolate chips and mix until just
    combined.

    Grease your bundt pan well. A thin layer of shortening
    or Pam and a dusting of A-P flour. Properly greasing
    the pan is eritical to easily removing your cake from
    the pan intact, as well as not burning the outer edge
    of your cake, don't skip this step!

    Pour the cake batter into greased bunt pan. Bake @
    375oF/190oCfor 45-50 minutes. When cake is done, a
    toothpick or fork will come out mostly clean.

    Leave in pan until completely cooled. After plating
    cake, drizzle with chocolate syrup and a dash of
    powdered sugar to garnish!

    UDD NOTE: If you wish garnish each slice with a nice
    Maraschino cherry impaled with a cocktail skewer (a
    plastic sword or fancy toothpick). Makes a nice looking
    presentation even if your guests do not care for the
    cherries.

    Just brought back some memories. I'm not doing too much cake baking
    these days, usually just for a pot luck or something else on that line. Sometimes a hot milk cake in spring to go with fresh strawberries, but I
    think I passed on doing that this past spring. I do the pumpkin roll in
    October for Steve's birthday most years. Last year we'd just gotten back
    from an extended trip so bought a pumpkin roll--it didn't taste as good
    as the home made so I went back to doing one this year.

    Title: Linus' Great Pumpkin Roll
    Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Fruits
    Yield: 2 servings

    1/2 c White, spelt, or whole wheat
    - pastry flour
    1 ts Baking powder
    1/8 ts Salt
    100 g Water or other liquid (1/3
    - cup + 1 TB + 1 tsp)
    2 tb Sugar
    2 tb Applesauce or oil
    1/4 ts Pure vanilla extract

    Combine all dry ingredients; then blend in wet
    (including applesauce), but be sure not to overmix.

    Spread onto a greased pan.

    Cook for 3-4 minutes @ 420oF/215oC and remove only once
    the edges are beginning to firm. (You might need to cook
    it longer, depending on your oven.) Let cool ten minutes
    for a few minutes, then spread on cream cheese frosting
    and sprinkle extra cinnamon if you like.

    Cut off all four edges so it forms a rectangle (if you
    used the circle pan). Spread on jam, or whatever else
    you wish.

    Roll carefully, using a spoon or spatula to help ease
    the roll over without tearing.

    Return to oven and bake another 7-8 minutes.

    Once a nice golden color has risen in the dough and it's
    somewhat springy, it's finished. Remove and slice into
    small pinwheel rounds.

    And as always, it's always better eaten warm.

    And with chocolate chips ??

    Happy Halloween, everyone!

    The one I have calls for 2/3 c pumpkin. Got it from my MIL when we came
    back from Germany in 1992. It's baked as a regular cake in a 10x15
    rimmed sheet pan, then rolled as soon as it comes out of the oven. When
    it is cooled, it is unrolled, filled with a cream cheese mix and
    re-rolled, put in the fridge until serving time. I'll dig out the recipe
    and post it; you will probably add it to your collection. (G)

    Hi Dave,


    Just looked in my recipe base. Of 22K recipes I have 2 for pumpkin
    roll. One of which is from Diabetes Connect and looks rather "monkey motion" and this one (which has no pumpkin)

    Here is my pumpkin roll recipe:

    PUMPKIN ROLL

    3 eggs
    2/3 c pumpkin
    1 csugar
    1 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    3/4 c flour

    Mix together and pour into a greased and wax (parchment) paper lined
    10x15 pan. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts. (I put them in the filling,
    less chance of breaking the cake.) Bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes (until
    tests done). Turn out onto a towel (NOT terry cloth) sprinkled with
    granulated sugar, peel off wax paper and roll with towel. Let cool on
    wire rack. (I turn it onto a wire rack, slide it from there onto the
    towel, peel off the paper and roll--easier than trying to turn a hot pan
    over onto a towel.)

    FILLING

    2 tbsp soft butter
    8 oz soft cream cheese
    3/4 tsp vanilla
    1 c powdered sugar
    (I add some cinnamon to the filling also.)

    Mix together, spread on cool, unrolled cake (I add the nuts to the
    spread filling). Re-roll, sprinkle with a bit more powdered sugar.
    Serves 8-10.


    My varients are in (). I use whole wheat pastry flour and raw sugar for
    the cake. Mom gave me this recipe in 1992; we've made it at least once a
    year since then. Canned or fresh pumpkin may be used but be sure to
    drain the fresh pumpkin well. If I use frozen pumpkin, I turn the thawed pumpkin into a paper towel lined strainer so as much water as possible
    drains off.

    Were they the bright orange (Halloween) pumpkins? Or the dull, dusty

    latter are what Libby processes and cans at their Morton, IL. plant.

    Here's one I do as an alternative to bell peppers - using a close cousin
    of the pumpkin.

    Title: Savoury Stuffed Squash
    Categories: Squash, Beef, Rice, Vegetables
    Yield: 4 Servings

    4 sm Sweet Dumpling Squash; about
    - 8 oz each, seeded **
    Jarred marinara sauce

    MMMMM--------------------------STUFFING-------------------------------
    1 lb Ground beef
    1/2 c Chopped yellow onion
    16 oz Can diced tomatoes; w/juice
    6 oz Long-grain or Basmati rice *
    1/2 c Water
    1 ts Salt
    Pepper
    1 ts Worcestershire sauce
    2 tb Dried parsley
    1 1/2 ts Dried basil

    * Or orzo pasta

    ** Small, mildly sweet-tasting squash resembles a mini-
    pumpkin with its top pushed in. It has cream-colored skin
    with green specks. Weighing only about 7 ounces, it has
    sweet and tender orange flesh and is a great size for
    stuffing and baking as individual servings.

    Set oven @ 350oF/175oC.

    Cut tops from little squash; discard seeds. Chop the tops
    to add to the ground beef and onions, set aside. Cook the
    sweet dumpling squash, uncovered, in boiling water for 5
    minutes, then invert them on a rack in the sink to drain
    well.

    In a skillet, cook ground beef, onion and the chopped
    squash until meat is browned and vegetables are tender.
    Drain off excess fat. Add undrained tomatoes, uncooked
    rice, water, salt, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, parsley,
    and basil.

    Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 15 mins
    or until rice is tender. Stuff peppers with meat mixture.
    Cover tops with jarred sauce and bake uncovered for 30
    to 35 minutes or until squash is tender.

    Hi Dave,

    Several times in October we saw big trucks unloading pumpkins at the produce stand just up the road from us. Wouldn't have believed that
    place sold as many pumpkins as they apparantly do had I not seen the number of deliveries (and probably some that I didn't see). I've still
    got pumpkin in the freezer so didn't buy a fresh one this year.

    Were they the bright orange (Halloween) pumpkins? Or the dull, dusty
    light orange (almost like yellow squash) "funny" shaped pumpkins? The latter are what Libby processes and cans at their Morton, IL. plant.

    Without question, these were jack o lantern pumpkins. I've cooked many
    of them down over the years; we used to let our girls draw a face on the pumpkin with a marker instead of carving it. Then I would cook it down
    after Halloween and we'd enjoy the pumpkin in various forms thruout the
    winter and spring.


    And I've Meal Mastered your recipe for inclusion in the archives.
    Here it is:

    I've several "Moroccan" recipes for buzzard. Mostly involving a tsagine.

    This recipe seems mis-titled as there is no tagine actually involved.

    Title: Slow Cooker Chicken Tagine w/Butternut Squash
    Categories: Poultry, Squash, Fruits, Chilies, Vegetables
    Yield: 5 servings

    2 1/2 lb Butternut squash; peeled,
    - halved lengthwise, seeded,
    - in 3" X 1" wedges
    8 Pitted dates; halved
    Salt 5 black pepper
    1 (1") cinnamon stick
    2 ts Sweet paprika
    1 1/2 ts Turmeric
    1 ts Ground cumin
    1/2 ts Hot smoked paprika
    1/2 ts Ground ginger
    1/4 ts Ground cloves
    1/4 ts Cayenne pepper
    2 tb Canola oil
    4 lb Bone-in, skin-on chicken
    - thighs
    1 lg Red onion; fine chopped
    1/4 c Minced ginger
    6 lg Garlic cloves; chopped
    1/4 c Lemon juice; more to taste
    1 sm Bunch flat-leaf parsley;
    - leaves only, chopped
    4 Scallions; thin sliced
    Cooked couscous or pita; for
    - serving (opt)
    Plain yogurt; for topping
    - (opt)
    Toasted almonds; for topping
    - (opt)

    Put the squash and dates into a 6 to 8 quart slow
    cooker. Season generously with salt and pepper. In a
    small bowl, combine the cinnamon stick, sweet paprika,
    turmeric, cumin, hot smoked paprika, ground ginger,
    cloves and cayenne and set aside.

    Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    Pat the chicken dry and season it generously with salt.
    Working in two batches, put the chicken in the skillet
    skin side down and cook without moving it until the skin
    is deeply golden, crisp, and releases fairly easily from
    the bottom of the pan, about 5 to 8 minutes per batch.
    (You need to brown only the skin side.) Transfer the
    chicken to the slow cooker, nestling the thighs skin
    side up and in one crowded layer on top of the squash.

    Decrease the stovetop heat to medium. If there is a lot
    of rendered fat in the pan, pour off all but a thin
    layer to cover the entire bottom of the skillet. Add the
    onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring to scrape up
    the browned bits on the bottom of the pan, until the
    onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and
    garlic, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1
    minute. Add the reserved spices and stir well for about
    30 seconds, until the mixture is a uniform brick red.
    Add the lemon juice, stir well to incorporate the
    browned bits, then scrape the mixture over the top of
    the chicken, making sure to include any spice-stained
    oil that remains.

    Cook on low until the squash and chicken are very tender
    and the flavors are mellow, at least 4 hours and up to 6
    hours. If it’s more convenient, you can let the slow
    cooker switch to warm after 6 hours. The dish will hold
    on warm for another 2 hours before the chicken starts to
    dry out. Remove and discard the cinnamon stick. Add
    lemon juice and salt to taste and fold in the chopped
    parsley and scallions. Serve with couscous or pita,
    topped with yogurt and toasted almonds, if desired.

    I've several "Moroccan" recipes for buzzard. Mostly involving a

    I made a double batch, too much for our tagine. Had supper, put 3 boxes
    (just shy of a quart,each) in the freezer and a bit left over for a
    quick supper tonight. Freezer ones will taste good on a cold, winter
    night.



    This recipe seems mis-titled as there is no tagine actually involved.
    But, it does look good - as with most of Ms. DiGregorio's output.

    Probably could be done in a tagine.

    This does look good, slow cooker is a good sub for a tagine, given the
    amount of ingredients. Maybe add some kalamata olives too?

    Only two things wrong with that. I'm not a fan of mums. And my house is

    Don't see why not. Ripe olives are usually always good.

    Here's one with both olives and my favourite addition to many recipes
    (garlic) and it works well if youleave the wine out, too.
