@darlicious some interesting ideas there, I actually made pumpkin spinach pasta last night.  Cooked the flesh in oven (there was not much, and it was stringy, but the flavour was good  will save recipe for future.  I have some seeds left and might try one of the your suggestions.

@mimmo 

A couple of these ideas should be right up your alley....as you can only use the seeds of a seed pumpkin. Use them in a "sauce" :

  1. Pesto
  2. Mole
  3. Homous
  4. Dressing
  5. Salsa
  6. Tapenade

Use them as a coating or crust on protein:

  1. Fish such as halibut, sole, cod or haddock.
  2. Rack of lamb.
  3. Chicken ( great for skinless/boneless)

 For baking:

  1. Add to breads, granola, crisps, muffins....
  2. Grind and substitute for flour.
  3. Make a brittle.
  4. Make a butter.

This should get you going......

@mimmo 

What a great idea! Let me think about the seed pumpkin.....I 'm surprised you didn't make carrot pie! Turns out like pumpkin pie! Now I can't stop thinking about pie.....

 

@stevenanto 

That includes pizza pie!

@darlicious that looks so tasty, I think we should square off in a masterchef type of challenge for these pizzas, blind taste test and all hahaha

@darlicious I love panzerotti, ever since I was a kid,  (mom still makes them on special occasions) 🙂  

 

I can't wait to make a trip to the old country first stop:

PIZZERIA DI COSIMO, Bari - Restaurant Reviews, Photos & Phone Number - Tripadvisor

 

Speaking of food , a group of friends have started a food challenge alla mastechef mystery box/ iron chef.  everyone has 2 weeks to make a dish starring the secret ingredient.    looking for an creative way to use a "seed pumpkin"  any ideas?

 

the last one was carrots, I dont want to see carrots for 6 months now.  I made :

  • carrot juice
  • carrot /zucchini fritters
  • spiced carrot soup
  • french grated carrot salad
  • carrot risotto
  • carrot cake

 

@stevenanto 

Something like this....

Have you ever had panzerotti? Essentially a deep fried pizza pie.... I first had them in Toronto on Queen St. W more or less across from Muchmusic.....

IMG_20171024_192701765.jpg

Once I moved to Vancouver a year or so later we found a tiny place near the PNE selling them. I was so excited to find them and so was the owner as he explained it was his first week after buying the business from the original owner of the Toronto panzerotti palace who had moved to Vancouver with the intention of retirement. He explained how well the former owner had taught him and they did not disappoint. The panzerotti were exactly like they were back east including both the marinara and the basil pesto sauce. This became part if our annual trip to the pne was to order 5 fried pies because the 6th was always free.

Wow!  Those look absolutely amazing 🤩 

Good job!

I wish I knew you so you could invite me over for dinner ... 🙂

I'm only a buffalo fan from my years living in Toronto. New Orleans is my team.

If you are referring to football, I prefer the team with the horseshoe to win although I am not passionate about either team.

Lol....as much as the bf likes shreddies I can't stand them as I grew up on them. My mom being sugar-nazi waaaay before it was trendy. It was one of the three mainstays in our house along with puffed wheat and shredded wheat and the three hot cereals : cream of wheat, red river and porridge.

 

Despite donating 100 boxes of cereal I still have a big enough stockpile to last at least a year.....I've been banned from "buying" any more free cereal for the forseeable future. Same goes for paldo soup bowls that bought me a new tablet and my fridge full of yoplait yogurt. My only income these days is stores paying me to unstock their shelves for them.

 

Speaking of breakfast.....pigskin benny's.....let's go buffalo!

@darlicious , I know you are passionate about cereal deals.  This one is pretty good.  $1.88 for 540g.
