More Pumpkin Lasagna Please!

Thursday, October 29, 2009

When I first made pumpkin lasagna last year, I was afraid it wouldn’t work out so I made a small portion in an 8×8 dish. It turned out to be one of my favorite fall recipes, one that I am always bragging about to…well Lon and Ice (my dog). I’m just so proud of it. When pumpkins started showing up in the farmer’s market, I knew I was going to make this dish again. I figured I would re-do the old pictures, that did not do this Pumpkin Lasagna any justice. Then I realized the greater problem (yes, worse then how bad I was at photography back then). The portion was too small! You’ll never have enough with a 8×8 pan, even if you live by yourself. I swear. You won’t know how it just disappeared. I settled on making it in a conventional 9×13 dish, because that’s a pan size normal people own, but I really wish it was made in a giant roasting pan. Yea, the ones you can put a whole pig in. I love it that much.

Maduros con Queso

Sunday, May 3, 2009

We’ve had some plantains ripening on our counter for quite a while.  One of them turned as black as our granite.  We simply had to use them… poor us, forced to eat sweet, delicious plantains.  I was just going to slice them up and fry them into maduros — it wouldn’t be the first time.  Jessica had a far better idea, stuff them with cheese.  Oh boy, yes.

Deep Dish Pizza

Sunday, February 8, 2009

Jessica has been wanting to make pizza all week. We stopped by Home Depot to buy some quarry tile to use as a pizza stone, but go figure, the Manhattan HDs don’t stock tile. So she decided on deep dish, as we don’t need a stone and because neither of us had really experimented much (at least in recent years) with deep dish.

Beef and Spinach Lasagna

Monday, January 12, 2009

Lasagna is the ultimate comfort food and it’s probably one of the first things I learned to make. My mom (a fabulous Chinese cook) and I just followed the instructions on the side of a box of dry lasagna sheets, using jarred sauce. These days, I always make my own sauce, and after several variations, I have to dub this one my favorite, Beef and Spinach Lasagna. This is still a fairly classic tasting lasagna. It’s just that I like mixing spinach into the cheese mixture. Isn’t it wonderful when the healthier twist tastes better?

*Update 9/23/09: My mom asked me to make her this lasagna so while I’m at it, I figured, I’d take new pictures, better pictures! (The first two and last picture are new.) Also, I wanted to note that Hungry Crasian pointed out that you don’t need to buy “no boil” lasagna sheets. I tested it out this time and she’s right, the regular kind does work fine. (Remember to cover the lasagna in aluminum foil before baking.)

Thanksgiving 2008 Series: Pumpkin Lasagna

Friday, November 14, 2008

As I mentioned, I’ll be working on recipes for you to use this Thanksgiving. This one is not one of your grandma’s recipes. It may seem a little out there and I won’t lie, I was nervous making it, thinking, what if this is crap? I don’t know where this idea even came from. Ideas just pop into my head from time to time, but just trust me. This is an incredible recipe. Lon was skeptical too, as he asked, what is that? Oh, and pumpkin, forget it. He was like, don’t give me a big piece. But in the end, he loved it.
