Squash and Pumpkin blossoms
photo by www.capnbob.us/blogRemove only the male blossoms-- those with thin, trim stems-- if you'd also like to harvest some squash. I like to use the pumpkin blossoms also. They also seem to be a little larger. I pick early in the morning, rinse and put in a baggie until dinner time to use. They stay fresh and plumb until then. I also use this same recipe for onion rings or deep fried mushrooms.
1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1 egg
1/2 c. milk
1 T. canola oil
12 large blossoms.
Mix altogether with mixer until smooth. Dip blossoms in batter and deep fry in at least 2 in. of oil until crisp.

Elegante Mother's recipe
I'm assuming that this is a 9" pie. The instructions simply begin with the words PIE CRUST. As I recall, you prepare the crust and put it in the pan, but don't bake it ahead of time. Also, prepare a narrow band of foil to cover the edge of the crust for part of the baking time.
1 1/2 cups canned solid pack pumpkin
3/4 cup sugar
3 whole eggs
3/4 cup evaporated milk
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Mix all the ingredients well. Add to pie shell. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes, then lower the heat to 325 degrees for 50 minutes. Use foil to cover the rim of the pie to prevent overbaking.
One large can of pumpkin will make two pies. (214 calories per slice, serves 8)

Mac and Cheese
Six to eight servings
INGREDIENTS
• Kosher salt
• 1 pound elbow macaroni
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups warm milk
• 5 1/2 cups shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
• freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
• extra virgin olive oil
• 4 slices bacon, cut crosswise into thin strips
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, smashed
• leaves from 1/4 bunch fresh thyme
• 2 cups frozen peas, thawed in a colander under cool water
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the macaroni and cook for 8 to 9 minutes, until al dente. Drain.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Melt the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, to keep lumps form forming. Gradually whisk in the milk and, whisking vigorously, cook until the mixture is thick and smooth. Stir in the 4 cups of the cheese and continue to cook and stir to melt the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked macaroni and the parsley and fold that all in to coat the macaroni with the cheese mixture. Scrape into a 3-quart baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
While that going, heat a 2 count of olive oil in a sauté pan. Add the bacon, onion, garlic and thyme and cook for about 5 minutes to soften the onion. Fold in the peas and season with salt and pepper.
To serve, scatter the pea and bacon mixture over the mac and cheese. Use a big spoon to scoop out servings, making sure you get some of the smoking pea mixture on each spoonful.

Kate's Recipe
Velma’s/Frankie's version:
1 head of cabbage (chopped) 2-4 cups
1 cup chopped celery
1 small onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped, OR 1 can stewed tomatoes, drained and chopped
2 tbls. Sugar
2 tbls corn oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Place cabbage, celery, onion, red and green peppers, sugar, salt and pepper in skillet with small amount of oil in skillet.
Cook on medium heat approximately 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Put lid on skillet, reduce temperature and simmer, covered, approximately 5-10 minutes.
Kate’s adjustments:
I always make a bigger batch; it keeps well in the frig and we like it cold, too.
I use olive oil.
We leave out the peppers, but add crushed red pepper flakes to heat it up. Do this to taste.
I use fresh tomatoes and only one.
I add Basil and Oregano (or try something different each time).
I add fresh garlic.
I use quite a bit more Splenda (sugar substitute). We like it sweet/hot!
I add about 1 cup of fat-free chicken or vegetable stock and cook it about 10 minutes, then remove the lid and reduce the liquid to concentrate the flavors.
As you can tell, the recipe is Very flexible and Very good. Try it for yourself. Enjoy!

Easy Lasagna
1 ½ cups chopped cooked meat**
1 cup cooked vegetables (I add a can of drained spinage)
½ teaspoon dried oregano or dried basil, crushed
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup cottage cheese
1 beaten egg
4 lasagna noodles or 4 oz of wide noodles, cooked and drained
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, Monterey Jack cheese or mild cheddar cheese, thinly sliced or shredded
2 – 3 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese
In saucepan combine desired sauce, meat, vegetables, herb and pepper. Simmer, covered, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Combine the cottage cheese and egg. Place half of the cooked noodles in a 10x6x2-baking dish. Spread with half the cheese-egg mixture.
Top with half the mozzarella, then half the meat-vegetable mixture. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake, covered, in a 375 degree oven about 40 minutes or till bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
I got this from Better Homes and Gardens October 1982. I have been making it for years. I don’t follow the directions exactly. I don’t skimp on the cheese sometimes I’ve used canned string beans and most of the time I don't use meat.

Chili and Corn Bread
Ingredients:
- 3 lbs ground beef (Get as lean as availible, I used my local butchers special grind that is 96% lean)
- 3 Onions, coarsly chopped
- 1 Head of garlic, should be about 12 cloves
- 2 28oz cans of Diced Tomatos (you can use whole or crushed depending on the texture you like, but leave the juice in)
- 2 15oz cans of black beans, drained
- 2 15oz cans of kidney beans, drained
- 1 can chipolte peppers, sliced, with the adobo sauce from can
- 1 12oz bottle of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (I bought a 24 oz bottle knowing full well that I only needed 50% of it, the other half was consumed during this very preperation!)
- 1 can of beef broth
- 5 Tbsp oregano
- 1/4 cup chili powder
- 1 Tbsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 Tbsp salt
- 1 Tbsp Cumin
- 1 Tbsp Liquid Smoke (entirely optional, the odobo sauce is already sort of smokey, so if you don't love a lot of smokey flavor, don't add this.)

Beer Chili and Honey Cornbread recipe picture 2

Beer Chili and Honey Cornbread recipe picture 3
Step 3:
Toss the onion/garlic mixture into that pan and saute it. Don't be a fool and put this on high heat and burn them. Use a medium heat and only keep them on long enough to turn them translucent, this should take about 10 minuets.
Beer Chili and Honey Cornbread recipe picture 4
Step 4:
Meanwhile you should melt your chocolate in the now warmed beer, make sure you continue to stir so it doesn't melt onto the bottom of that pan.
Beer Chili and Honey Cornbread recipe picture 5
Step 5:
Once the chocolate is melted toss in all of your canned goods and spices, stir that around and dump in your onions/garlic as soon as it is ready.
Beer Chili and Honey Cornbread recipe picture 6
Step 6:
Now brown your beef in the same pan that you did your onions, I used worcestershire on my beef because it rules. Then dump that in and bring it all to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for at least a half hour. You may want to taste this after it simmers a bit and add more peppers if you want it hotter.

1 cup milk
