My Favorite Flavorful Baked Veggie Mix

I've never tried pumpkin in soups but your recipe sounds good. I like that you used paprika. I'll remember this recipe and will try it soon. What kind of pumpkin did you use?

Thank you Mira. I made a pumpkin and tomato soup, with a few added baked beans and spiced it with two chillis and some paprika, with salt of course and two stock cubes. It was delicious. I only used part of the pumpkin.

Hi Frank, I love the American pumpkin pie myself. But you can grate the meat of the pumpkin and cook it on the stove with spices, or bake it and then prepare it (you can also use it in smoothies instead of bananas!). I haven't cooked pumpkin ...

Mince Pies - from Scotland

This reminds me of my grandmother's "monkey faces", which were cookies with mincemeat inside. I didn't like mincemeat so she would make some with jam filling. Like you, this reminds me of family times.

Now here is a question for any experienced vegetable cooks here. I am a better grower than I am a cook, so would anyone advise me of the best way to cook pumpkin. I have chopped one up for soup, but I suspect that there are other ways.

I am soon to harvest some parsnips, which I will use cook either roasted or in soup. The reason that I have waited until now is that a spell of frost turns the parsnips' starch into sugar,makes them sweeter and helps to preserve them. I have ...

Staying Sane When Caring for a Loved One who has Dementia

I'm glad that this helped you. It's so difficult to be a caregiver, others don't realize how demanding it can be. We need to remember it's about the person we're caring fore. But we also need to remember to take care of ourselves. Make sure to ...
