Pumpkin Bread: Cheese Pumpkin

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to her cupboard
To get some fresh pumpkin pie.
But her pie was not there,
So she gave her husband a glare
And said, "You ate it. Don't lie!"

This is a Cheese Pumpkin
cut in fourths
with the seeds removed

Peeled and sliced
Ready to be diced!

I coated the pumpkin flesh in
bacon grease and salt. However, any
fat would sufice.

I placed the pumpkin and the seeds
(coated in olive oil and salt)
in the oven at 450' F. I covered the pumpkin
for the first 20 minutes.

The seeds toast up in about 15-20 minutes

The pumpkin was finished in about 45 minutes
In one bowl I mixed 2 cups of almond flour,
1 tsp. of baking soda, and cinnamon.
In the other bowl I combined 2 cups of the cooked pumpkin,
1/4 cup of maple syrup,  2eggs,  1 tsp. of vanilla, and 1/4 of
coconut oil. I mixed it with an immersion blender.
Next I combined the wet and dry
ingredients and whisked by hand
to create a smooth mixture.

I coated this baking dish
(approx. 4 in. deep, 4 in. wide,  and 8 in. long)
with coconut oil and poured in the mixture.
I cooked the pumpkin bread at 350'F for about 45 minutes.
I tested it periodically with a knife, when it comes out dry
it is done.

Australian Lamb Chops
Cauliflower
These Australian lamb chops came frenched in a rack and I separated each rib using a butcher's knife. I sprinkled with sea salt and broiled them on each side for about 8 minutes. I usually grill them, but it's getting cold these days. I placed them about 4 in. away from the heat source. Always let the meat rest for 10 minutes before serving.

The cauliflower was chopped into florets and coated in olive oil and salt. I placed them in the oven before the lamb and cooked them at 450'F. I covered them for the first 40 minutes (until they softened) then left them to roast for an additional 15 minutes. I sprinkled them with grated parmesan cheese to finish.

4-Step Dinner: Wild Rice & Chicken with Radish Salad

This one could not be simpler!

So yummy it made my son's hair stand up!

Wild Rice and Chicken:


Measure one cup of WILD rice (it has less toxins and a better nutritional profile then regular rice) and place spread thin, in a glass 9x12 baking dish. Next place one whole cut up chicken 
(organic / local / pastured raised) on top of rice. Season with salt and pepper (I like to add paprika). Then pour 1 and 3/4 cup of water to cover the rice. Place uncovered in oven at 425' Fahrenheit. 

All of the fat and juices from the chicken, season the rice and create a wonderful flavor!

Radish Salad:

- Dice all the vegetables, whisk dressing, and pour on top:

  • Dice approx. 12 radishes 
  • Dice 2 celery stalks
  • Dice 1/4 of a white onion

Dressing:

  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (home made is best)
  • 1 teaspoon of Dijon Mustard
  • 2 teaspoons of wild honey
  • Sea salt
  • Pepper
Wild Rice cooked under organic chicken


Dinner is Served: Radish salad, (organic / local / pastured raised) chicken, wild rice
