Home-Made Crock Pot Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup Recipe

I seem to remember making this a few years ago for a Fall Harvest Party that I put on for our neighborhood. I have lost the original, but this is what I remember of it.  It also won first place in the cooking contest.

This would be a great dinner for those die-hard Campfires.  Just put all the ingredients in re-seable containers, put them in a Dutch Oven and cook of a campfire in your camp.  Share with other campers too.

It is semi home-made and does take about an hour to roast the pumpkin and is so good and good for you. This is good for a party such as an office party, kids Halloween party or a gathering of friends. You can make it for your family and freeze the leftovers.  


What you need for your brew:

1 Medium Sized Pumpkin
1 tablespoon butter
1 large Onion, diced and sauteed in the tablespoon of butter
2-3 cups of Chicken Stock
1 cup Sour Cream
1 tablespoon ginger
1 teaspoon each of Salt and Pepper

Get a nice medium sized orange pumpkin that you would be using for a pie.

Poke many holes in it.  I use a butcher knife because it is much easier to do that.
Rub the whole thing with butter or any butter flavored spray oil.
Put in a baking dish with about 1 inch of water.  This is so the skin softens a bit.
Bake at 350 degrees for an hour.

Let it cool until you can handle it.

• After it is cooled cut it up into sizes that you can peel the outside rind off of it.

• Put the pieces in a bowl and mash with a potato masher.  Add this to your crock pot.

• Peal and dice a large onion, sautee it in the tablespoon of butter and add that to the crock pot.

• Add about 2-3 cups of chicken stock.  If you like your soup thinner, then add more. If you like it creamier than add less.

• Add one cup of Sour Cream to that mixture and stir well.

• Add 1 tablespoon of ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper.

• Stir this all up good in your crock pot.  Cook for 6 hours.

This is good with a hunk of freshly baked bread too.

Yummy good!

Beverage Companies That Use Stevia In Their Diet Soft Drinks

Aspartame, Splenda, Saccharin and Sucrolose FREE Diet Soda

I had written this for a few reasons.  The first was becasue people were looking for a soft drink that was diet and that did not use any of the popular poisons in it.  Now the second reason is because I just read an article put out on NatureNews about the Pepsi Cola Company getting rid of the poison Aspartame, but they are substituting it with Sucrolose, which is just another brand of poison in our drinks.

Aspartame can do much damage to a body that many do not know about.
Many contemporary health practitioners call modern disease syndromes ASPARTAME DISEASE because aspartame is at the root of diseases such as:

• fibromaylagia
• restless leg syndrome
• migraines
• vaginal irritation
• tumors
• allergy
• multiple sclerosis
• bladder cancer
• central nervous system
• infertility
• weight gain
• Parkinson's Disease. 

The chemical structure of aspartame causes the body to mimic these disease symptoms, but the bottom line, it's aspartame disease.

*Source: Phenylketonuria (PKU) - Aspartame

People who are diabetic or they just want to drink beverages that have a much lower sugar content really ae looking for a good soft drink and something that they enjoy with their meals or just ice cold on a very hot day.  It quenches their thirst.  Many are drinking these Asparte=ame lazed drinks because they do not know of any other brand and they also are inder the impression that it does not do any harm to them.  That is a big false statement and a huge Red Flag!

There is Good News and this company has been around since 1905.

There is a product that is diet and has no Aspartame in it and you can get it everywhere that you see other diet soda products.  It is Royal Crown Cola and is made by the Royal Crown Bottling Company and they have many offices and factories world-wide..

They originated in Clumbus, Ga when a young pharmacists  thought up of the idea of a new soft drink.  Claud A. Hatcher made this new and unique soft drink for his small store and family at first but grew into what we have today.  The original name was Chero-Cola and later they renamed it Royal Crown and added a few new products like Royal Crown Ginger Ale, Strawberry and then Root Beer

*Source: Royal Crown Bottling Company of Winchester, Va

Instead of aspartame, Sucralose or Saccharin they were using Splenda to sweeten the Diet Soda and other beverages. They did answer the call from all their consumers that they needed a better sugar sweetener that is of a more natural ingredient and they changed their diet colas to answer tis call.

Just recently they came out with a new product using Stevia instead, called RC NEO. According to The TRENDMonitor (a Food and Beverage Review Nwsletter) it is making a great impress in the International markets..

Some of their products include: 

• RC Cola, Diet RC Cola
• 7-UP
• Sunkist
•  A&W Root Beer
• Ski
• Welch’s Grape
•  Big Red
• Country Time Lemonade
•  Snapple Teas
• Red Bull Energy Drinks
• Sierra Mist
• Nehi products

Non-Food in Your Food

What You Don't Know Won't Kill You 

Facts you may not know and maybe don't want to know about YOUR Food

.............But what about when it comes to processed foods? Is there really any way to know how many insect parts has been ground right up with the rest of the ingredients? Probably not.

Think insect parts and rodent hairs are more of a rarity? Think again. An Ohio University fact sheet estimates that we eat from one to two pounds of insects each year, and without knowing it.

This is Gross, but is it Dangerous?

Quite the contrary. "They're actually pretty healthy," says Dr. Philip Nixon, an entomologist at the University of Illinois, in regard to insects, "If we were more willing to accept certain defect levels such as insects and insect parts, growers could reduce pesticide usage. Some of the spraying that goes on is directly related to the aesthetics of our food."

....

How Many Rodent Hairs and Insect Parts Are In...?

The FDA's action level for peanut butter is 30 or more insect fragments or one or more rodent hairs per 100 grams.

Here is a very brief sampling of the FDA's Food Defect Action Level list. They begin investigation when foods reach the action level they've set. According to the FDA, typical foods contain about 10 percent of the action level, but others say they contain more like 40 percent.

CHOCOLATE AND CHOCOLATE LIQUOR

·        Insect filth: Average is 60 or more insect fragments per 100 grams when 6 100-gram subsamples are examined OR any 1 subsample contains 90 or more insect fragments

·        Rodent filth: Average is 1 or more rodent hairs per 100 grams in 6 100-gram subsamples examined OR any 1 subsample contains 3 or more rodent hairs

CITRUS FRUIT JUICES, CANNED

·        Insects and insect eggs: 5 or more Drosophila and other fly eggs per 250 ml or 1 or more maggots per 250 ml

RED FISH AND OCEAN PERCH

·        Parasites: 3% of the fillets examined contain 1 or more parasites accompanied by pus pockets

MACARONI AND NOODLE PRODUCTS

·        Insect filth: Average of 225 insect fragments or more per 225 grams in 6 or more subsamples

·        Rodent filth: Average of 4.5 rodent hairs or more per 225 grams in 6 or more subsamples

PEANUT BUTTER

·        Insect filth: Average of 30 or more insect fragments per 100 grams

·        Rodent filth: Average of 1 or more rodent hairs per 100 grams

POPCORN

·        Rodent filth: 1 or more rodent excreta pellets are found in 1 or more subsamples, and 1 or more rodent hairs are found in 2 or more other subsamples OR 2 or more rodent hairs per pound and rodent hair is found in 50% or more of the subsamples OR 20 or more gnawed grains per pound and rodent hair is found in 50% or more of the subsamples

WHEAT FLOUR

·        Insect filth: Average of 75 or more insect fragments per 50 grams

·        Rodent filth: Average of 1 or more rodent hairs per 50 grams

Can these things be avoided? To avoid all unsavory food components, it seems, would be to stop eating all together. And perhaps we're just being too squeamish. After all, as Dr. Manfred Kroger, a professor of food science at Pennsylvania State University, says, "Let's face it, much of our food comes from nature, and nature is not perfect."

Who Eats Bugs and Some Recipes For Them

Mexico eats Grasshoppers and will buy them by the pound and they are fried before they are consumed.

Ants are ground up and used as a butter in Columbia.

June beetles, grasshoppers, ants, mole crickets, water beetles, katydids, locusts and dragonfly larvae are fried, boiled and sautéed with other vegetables in the Philippians.

Asia's favorite is the Water bug in which they will roast and served whole.

Some restaurants in their Washington D.C. are already incorporating bugs in their cuisine. One restaurants favorite is the chocolate chirpy chips. Recipe is below.

Farmers are even telling us that if we eat these bugs they will spend less on pesticides.

Bugs! 

They bring about some emotional disturbances in people and in others they are just considered to be bugs. The movie industry has taken off with the emotionally charged patrons by showing horror movies about all kinds of bugs crawling, eating and just wreaking havoc on the screen. Those who are not afraid of bugs keep telling us they are just bugs and to get over it! Well, have you considered eating those bugs? Seriously they are very high in protein, Calcium and Iron and a few other nutrients that we need.

Did you know that many people eat insects as their main source of food? There are some that you cannot eat because they cause some allergic reactions and can make you sick, but I had listed some of the ones that are eaten and eaten regularly by other places such as Thailand, Africa and other nations of the world. No siree, bugs will not take over the world!

I think the tide is changing for the bugs. We will control them because we will harvest and eat them in many delicious dishes. They are even chocolate covered.

These are some of the yummy bugs that are edible: Dung Beetle, Tarantula, cicadas, locusts, mantises, crickets and grasshoppers, giant water bug, pupae of silk moths and other moths and butterflies, wasps' and bees' larvae and termites.

Bugs have a high amount of Protein, Calcium, Iron and fat. The highest nutrition Bug is the Water bug coming in at Protein: 19.8 grams, fat: 8.3, Carbohydrates: 2.1, Calcium: 43.5 and Iron: 13.6. These are more nutritious than a glass of Milk and don’t have the side effects that milk has!

The next one that is the highest in these things are the Red Ant, Dung Beetle, Grasshoppers, and Silk Worm Larvae. You can read all of the ones listed here and more on the Insect Nutritional Chart

You would be surprised at how many nations thrive on just eating bugs. From Africa to Thailand and the West is just getting in on the practice.

Bugs will not take over the world now!

What Do They Taste Like

Raw yellow jacket larvae have a sweet, nutty flavor, deep fried greater wax moth larvae tastes like bacon, crickets deep-fried have a crunchy, tangy flavor,

Dry roasting a pound of honey bees (about 3,500 bees) in an oven at low heat for eight hours can be used as flour.  

Just think of the possibilities and someday eating insect popcorn, using crickets as a new treat at your local theater.

Coconut Milk Pancakes

Today I ran out of boxed pancake mix and was looking for an easy recipe from scratch. I usually only cook from scratch unless I am brought home these little surprises from my hubby. Oh I don't mind the surprises as all. So searching for a simple and quick recipe I improvise the standard pancake recipe.

One day of the week I will make a big batch of pancakes and freeze them for the rest of the week as an easy and quick breakfast for my dear hubby or me when I need something to eat with my cup of coffee.

Being allergic to any dairy products I had to switch out some ingredients and here is my recipe for pancakes. This recipe makes many small pancakes. After they cooled, I used a piece of wax paper in between the pancakes and stored them in a large Ziploc Freezer bag and put them in the freezer. I did the same with a few but put them in the refrigerator instead.

So here is the recipe that I used.

Coconut Milk Pancakes

2 c. Self-Rising Flour

1/2 teas Salt

1 teas Baking Powder

2 Tbls Splenda

I can Coconut Milk (add water until the desired consistency you want)

1/2 c Canola Oil

2 Eggs or the equivalent of Egg Beaters if you are allergic to eggs.

1 teas. Vanilla extract or Imitation flavoring

Mix all together and pour the batter in the desired size you want on the 375 degree griddle. Turn after bubbles form and pancake looks a little dry.

My Husband's Family's Recipe For Polish Mistakes

Polish Mistakes

These are served Christmas Eve after Midnight Mass in my husband's family. They are really good. His mom (god rest her wonderful soul) served the children, which were all her children and the grandkids, cheese, peperoni slices and crackers as snack the night before Christmas. These were the best treats for us on very cold and snowy nights. Usually we has a hard time getting up Division Street on the side of the mountain in Oil City, PA. It really was a nervous time getting up that in the packed snow and we looked forward to these snacks to warm us up and replenish us after the stress we endured out on the roads. Such great memories. His mother is gone now and his father in a nursing home.

Brown and Drain: 1 part Hamburg 1 part Sausage

Add: 1 jar Velveeta Cheese 

1 teas. Garlic Salt 

1 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce

Spread on Party Rye Bread.

Bake at 350° for 10 minutes

My Cookies Recipes From a Boxed Cake Mix

I got this off the Internet and tried it and it was good. It is just the basic recipe. I wanted to give it a try before I shared it with you. I found it quite easy and you could make all kinds of cookies from all kinds of flavored cake mixes.

I also found the consistency thick enough that you could even make rolled or cut cookies from the mix recipe. They didn't come out like little cakes, but like real cookies that were made from a cookie mix.

I did a little bit of experimenting with a Spice Cake Mix and added some raisins. They are very good. I am not sure if my oven was too hot (I used the temperature they suggested) or what, because the edges came out a little browner than I would have liked. They are still good though.  They weren't burnt.

I am going to experiment some more with other flavors of cake mixes and adding other ingredients, like chocolate chips, nuts, dried cherries or even dried cranberries and other yummy things. The possibilities are almost endless!

Cake Mix Cookie Recipes 

Basic** Cake Mix Cookies

1 Box of Cake Mix

2 Eggs

1/2 Cup of Oil

2 Tbsp Water for a hard cookie,  **Add 1/4 Teaspoon more if you want a softer cookie

Directions:

Bake for 15 minutes on 350 degrees. Cool on backing sheet for about 1 minute and then transfer them to cooling rack.

Makes about 18 cookies, depending on how big you make yours.

Chocolate Kahlua Coconut Cookies

This is a variation on the original cookie. I used a Chocolate Cake Mix.

I used 1/4 cup (One Stick) warm Butter instead of the Vegetable Oil 

and added it after mixing in the eggs so that it wouldn't cook them.

I replaced the water with 2 1/4 tbsp Kahlua liquor

and added about a cup of coconut 

and about a half cup of chopped peanuts.

I was able to roll a tablespoon of dough into a ball and then after placing it on the cookie sheet flattened them with my fingers.

I didn't need to grease the cookie sheet.

They came out very yummy and the edges did not burn.

Heavenly Cookies From A Boxed Cake Mix

 This variation uses a box of Betty Crocker Super Moist Vanilla Cake Mix.

Add to this 1/2 to 1 Cup of White Chocolate Chips and the same for the Crushed Peanuts.

You will need to use a Spray Oil on your pan because the White Chocolate Chips will burn and stick to your pans.

Yummy!

Hamburger Cabbage And Apple Goulash

Hamburger Cabbage And Apple Goulash

I had fresh hamburger, but was all out of ideas on how to cook it besides just hamburgers.  So I put the question up on my Facebook page and got some great ideas.  I did not use them though and I had thought of something as I was cooking up the hamburger in the skillet.  Well I rummaged through my refrigerator and came up with this dish.  My husband loved it.  He had two large helpings.  There was just enough to put in individual containers for our lunches today.  Here is how I made it:

Ingredients:

1 ½ pounds of fresh Ground Beef or Hamburger

I/2 Head of Large Cabbage, diced

1 Large Onion, diced

1 Large Apple, diced

¼ Bag of Wide Egg Noodles

1 Packet of Mushroom or Brown Gravy Mix made as directed on the packet.

Directions:

Cook about 1 ½ pounds of ground-beef in the skillet.  Drain when half cooked. 

While this is cooking chop up about a half of a head of Cabbage, One large onion and one large apple (any kind you wish).

Add the Onions and the Cabbage 1 ½ cups of water and about ¼ bag of Noodles.  Cook until the noodles are soft. 

Add a packet of Mushroom or Brown Gravy Mix to 1 cup of water and mix well.  Pour over the Beef and Vegetables.  Let that simmer a few minutes so the gravy is a little thickened.

Add the apples turn off the heat and put the lid on it.  Let it stand for about 5 minutes.  You do not want it to stand too long or the apples become mush.
