What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?

My MIL makes both -- lamb for her sons -- ham for me and sister-in-law, and different side dishes for the two meats. Neither my SIL nor I grew up eating lamb and we never developed a taste for it.

My two attempts at no-knead bread resulted in flat frisbee-like loaves both times. They had a nice open crumb though...

How to Roast Perfect Pumpkin Seeds

I was just sitting here procrastinating, ignoring the roasting pan full of pumpkin guts and seeds in the other room waiting to be dealt with... I guess this is a sign that I should go work on that now. :-(

Cook the Book: 'The Sweeter Side of Amy's Bread'

The regular ones -- chocolate chip or peanut butter (with the criss-crossed fork marks). :-)

Cook the Book: 'The Cook's Country Cookbook'

Broccoli salad with craisins and bacon. It fits the bill for a coleslaw-type salad, but is just a little different.

What's Your Favorite Halloween Candy?

Butterfingers and candy corn -- I will gorge myself until I feel sick. Then wait 30 minutes, and voila! I feel well enough to start all over.

Was Paul Newman's Greatest Contribution Organic Snack Foods?

My favorite is Newman's Own Pineapple Salsa. I find it incredibly addictive and have been known to eat it by the spoonful straight out of the jar when I've run out of tortilla chips.

Cook the Book: 'The Modern Baker'

I was baking multiple batches of cupcakes for my sons' joint birthday party a few years back and forgot to add the eggs to one batch. At that point, I had already finished baked several, and was apparently on auto-pilot, and patting myself on the back for being so efficient. I could not for the life of me figure out why the eggless cupcakes would not stay together. I think I ended up making some sort of chocolatey trifle with the rejects.

Cook the Book: 'Olives and Oranges'

A nice half-sour pickle if I'm being good. Sweet potato fries if I'm not.

Cook the Book: 'A Platter of Figs'

Definitely apples, in pies, crisps, tarts, or just sliced with sharp Cheddar or spread with peanut butter!

Cook the Book: 'Chocolate Epiphany'

A nice rich moist dark chocolate torte... mmmmmmmmmm.

Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake. A few years ago, we had a two pumpkin desserts at our Thanksgiving dinner -- a pumpkin pie a la Mom, and a pumpkin gooey butter cake made by my daughter. The Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake one hands down. It is decadent, but it is Holiday-worthy!

I didn't like pumpkin pie until I had a piece of one that my stepmom made. YUM!

My mother's pumpkin pie, learned from my great-grandmother, is always a winner to me.

For things that I bake, my favourite is a spicy pumpkin muffin with candied ginger chips. Not as sweet as a lot of pumpkin recipes.
