Buttercup is a sturdy squash 6 to 8 inches in diameter, averaging 2 to 4 pounds. It has a turban modify and dark green skin sometimes with streaks of light na. It has sweet and creamy orange flesh and when baked some say it tastes comparable to a mixture of honey and sweet potato.
Striped in propitious yellow, dark green and orange, delicata squash is a commonplace, oblong winter squash. The thin peel is edible but delicata do not count on as long as other winter squash. When buying delicata dodge those with bruises, cuts and soft spots. The flesh has been described as tasting a bit like corn and mellow potatoes. Delicata squash tend to weigh less than a enclosure. A 2002 All-America selection, 'Cornell's Bush Delicata' combines the flavor of an heirloom delicata with Maquis to powdery mildew and a compact growth habit.
Butternut squash is said to be the sweetest winter squash. The effulgent orange flesh is thick, but more watery than other squash. Beige colored and shaped like a bell butternut squash as usual weigh between 2 and 5 pounds. When picking a butternut choose those that are more orange in color, as they should be riper and sweeter.
To peel the tomatoes: Carry out a large pot of water to a boil. Have a large bowl of ice the highest nearby. Cut a small X on the bottom of each tomato. Ease about five tomatoes in the pot and cook, let bubble for about 15 seconds, and then promptly move them to the waiting ice water. Do this with the leftover tomatoes. Pull off the skin with the tip of a paring knife. If the scrape sticks, try a vegetable peeler using a gentle sawing moving. Cut the tomatoes in half and use your finger to flick out the seeds.
To cook the tomatoes: In a astray pan, heat the 1/3 cup of olive oil over medium-high fervidness until quite hot. Add the tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and season lightly with the cured. Start with a light hand on the salt because as the tomatoes change, the salt will become concentrated. Let the tomatoes cook for a few minutes to soften. Then, using a potato masher, chop the tomatoes finely. Cook the tomatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tomatoes are put forward and the sauce has thickened. You can make the sauce, which yields about 3 cups, in advance of time. Refrigerate it for up to 2 days or freeze it for longer storage.
Meanwhile, heat your oil and saute the garlic for a few minutes. Then, add your drained artichokes and tomatoes (with juice) and simmer for 8-10 minutes. Stir in your evaporated milk and chicken broth, and the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Let it simmer for another minute or two, then add your al dente pasta. Stir and enjoy! Add Parmesan cheese if you have it on hand.
Buy ground beef or turkey in such an enormous amount that the butcher or sales person will raise his/her eyebrows at you! I purchase about 5-6# at a time. After you lug it through the door of your home, brown it right away (or soon thereafter). Yup, grab the biggest pot you have and brown away. After draining it, let it cool a little bit. Place the browned meat in a container with a lid. Throw it in the fridge....but don't forget about it. The next day, divide it up in freezer storage bags or if you have a handy-dandy vacuum seal machine use that! Stack the bags flat in the freezer. Pull one out of the freezer when making sloppy joes, tacos or a casserole which calls for browned ground beef/turkey. This saves an enormous amount of time when preparing meals. I have frozen sloppy joes, hot chicken sandwich filling and mashed potatoes. Here is what I do. I get out my regular size muffin tin, spray w/non-stick cooking spray and fill. Stick the tin in the freezer. When the food is frozen, pop it out of the tin and place in freezer storage bags or a freezer container. These make perfect person size portions. And a quick meal when you don't know what else to have for lunch or supper! You just made fresh, homemade, delicious cookies. IF you happen not to eat all of the cookies in two days, you may want to try this. Place a piece of bread...yes, bread...in the container with the cookies. The bread will become hard and the cookies soft!! Yum!! This also works on over-baked cookies that are just too hard. Place the bread in the container right away and you'll have hard bread and soft cookies. If your cookies are not hard, do not put bread in the container...the cookies will get way too soft. Just place the bread in there when the cookies start to become a little hard. Speaking of cookies, if you make cut-out-cookies (i.e. Christmas cut-outs) and you have little helpers wanting to frost and decorate, here is what I did. If you have the time, make the dough one day...
