<br />
I first tried this combo as a butternut squash with browned butter for about $25 a plate at a chain Italian restaurant. I love making pumpkin desserts, but wanted to try a spin off for a favorite fall dinner. <br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Spiced Pumpkin Ravioli's with Browned Butter & Sage </u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u>Filling</u></i></b><br />
6 oz <a href="http://middlewords.blogspot.com/2014/10/pumpkin-puree.html">Pumpkin Puree</a><br />
2 Tablespoons Dark Brown Sugar<br />
1/8 tsp nutmeg<br />
1/8 tsp allspice<br />
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper<br />
salt & pepper<br />
Up to 2 Tablespoons flour if needed<br />
<br />
Mix pumpkin filling<br />
Prepare <a href="http://middlewords.blogspot.com/2014/10/homemade-ravioli.html">ravioli</a> dough.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Browned Butter w/ Sage</u></i></b><br />
4 oz butter<br />
Fresh Sage to taste (I like 2-3 sprigs)<br />
2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar<br />
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar<br />
1/8 tsp Red Pepper Flakes<br />
Toasted Pecans (for topping)<br />
<br />
Melt butter in skillet with sage over medium heat and cook until just browned (about 4-5 minutes.) It will continue to cook after removed. Remove from heat and discard Sage. Whisk in vinegar, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. It will foam up when you add the vinegar and it may separate a bit from the oil, but it will taste great when it is all served.<br />
<br />
Add ravioli over sauce and spoon until it is covered. Top with toasted pecans.<br />

It would be nice to have a pasta attachment on my Kitchen Aid, BUT I'm not there yet. We prefer taste to appearance anyway, right?<br />
<br />
I have been trying to make more things from scratch. Challenging myself, actually. Each day, find something I've taken for granted in a can, box, or mix, and prepare it from scratch.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Ravioli</u></i></b><br />
6.25 oz flour mixed with 1/4 tsp salt<br />
1 egg, room temperature, whisked with 1/4 cup hot water<br />
<br />
Put flour mixture in bowl of stand mixer. Add egg mixture and work with dough hook until smooth and firm. (About 5-6 minutes.) Add a little flour if you need to, it should be smooth to look at, and not stick to your fingers, but still be pretty soft to the touch.<br />
Wrap in plastic wrap to protect and leave out for an hour before working.<br />
<br />
Repeat with the same ratio if you want a double batch. I find it works better than mixing larger quantities at once. <br />
<br />
After an hour, separate each dough batch in two. Cover one half with dry, clean towel. Roll out the other half until thin and almost transparent, with no holes or tears. There are several ways to do this. I like to use two pieces of saran wrap, one under the dough, one on the top. This allows me to use the rectangle shape to shape a sheet of dough, then lift the ends of the saran wrap to transport to table or other side of counter.<br />
<br />
Roll out second half of dough to as close the same shape and size as the first.<br />
<br />
Place filling by Tablespoons about two inches apart or a little more. Run a wet pastry brush between and around the dollops of filling to seal the dough sheets together. Top the dough and filling with second sheet of dough and press lightly between and around each filling dollop to make a seal. I use a plastic cup with a firm ridge to press and twist slightly to seal each ravioli. You can use a knife and press with a fork if you want. <br />
<br />
Boil raviolis a few at a time for 5 minutes per batch.<br />
<br />
Toss ravioli in your prepared sauce. <br />
<br />
Some of my favorite combinations are<br />
Chicken Artichoke with Pesto<br />
<a href="http://middlewords.blogspot.com/2014/10/spiced-pumpkin-ravioli-wbrowned-butter.html">Spicy Pumpkin with Browned Butter</a><br />
Mushroom Ricotta with Alfredo<br />
Chorizo & Roasted Red Pepper with Marinara<br />

I like them spicy and salty, but you could do a little brown sugar and cayenne for a spicy/sweet combo.<br />
<br />
Pumpkin Seeds (rinsed well, laid flat on parchment paper, and dried overnight)<br />
Olive Oil<br />
Sea Salt<br />
Seasonings (I used Cayenne, Red Pepper Flakes, and Lawry's Seasoning Salt)<br />
<br />
Toss dried seeds in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and preferred seasonings. Lay out on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 250 degrees for 60-90 minutes, tossing a couple times throughout.<br />

8 oz cream cheese, softened<br />
1 egg, room temperature, slightly beaten<br />
2.3 oz (1/3 cup) sugar<br />
1/8 tsp salt<br />
8 oz (1 cup) mini chocolate chips (or chopped up regular size chips)<br />
*I like dark chocolate with the pumpkin, or you can omit the chocolate if you prefer. Chopped caramel, toffee, or butterscotch chips may be good too.<br />

Mix everything together until smooth.
For filled cupcakes, fill 2/3 with batter, then top with 2 tablespoons filling until cups are almost full. <br />

They can be made into loaves for fall favorite Pumpkin Bread, topped with <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7086822538702578836#editor/target=post;postID=3765973084122428635;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=0;src=postname">Caramel Buttercream</a>, or left with no frosting for great muffins topped with <a href="http://middlewords.blogspot.com/2014/10/maple-cayenne-butter.html">Maple Cayenne Butter</a>.

There are several recipes attached, but they should be mixed and matched for your favorite combo. </div>
<b><i><u>Pumpkin Cupcakes </u></i></b><br />
10 oz sifted flour<br />
1 teaspoon baking soda<br />
1 teaspoon baking powder<br />
1 teaspoon coarse salt<br />
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I like large cinnamon from the asian market, and then grate it)<br />
1 teaspoon ground ginger<br />
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (use whole, please!)<br />
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice<br />
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves (I use whole, ground with mortar & pestle, then sifted)<br />
1/8 teaspoon cardamom<br />
7.5 oz dark brown sugar<br />
7 oz sugar<br />
8 oz butter, melted and cooled (microwave for 30 seconds on 50% power, then stir to melt remaining)
4 eggs, separated, room temperature<br />
2 tsp pure vanilla extract<br />
16 oz pumpkin puree (see recipe <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7086822538702578836#editor/target=post;postID=8281852651426673736;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=2;src=postname">here</a>)<br />
<br />
1. Whisk dry ingredients including spices in a pretty large bowl, make a well in the middle, and set aside<br />
2. In stand mixer, mix together sugars, then add cooled butter. Cream together.<br />
3. Beat eggs yolks together slightly and pour vanilla in. No need to mix together. Add to creamed butter mixture.<br />
4. Once the mixture is well incorporated into the creamed butter, pour into dry ingredients. Incorporate the wet and dry carefully, with a wooden spoon, until mixed well. Don't beat it to hell.<br />
5. Put egg whites in the bowl the batter just came out of and attach whisk attachment. Whisk whites until stiff.<br />
6. Stir pumpkin puree into cupcake mixture while the whites are stiffening. Stir until well incorporated. Don't beat to hell.<br />
7. Gently fold in stiff whites.<br />
Now you have cupcake/muffin/bread batter.

Since we like to make things from scratch when possible (and especially when so easy,) first make some pumpkin puree. Or take some out of the freezer to defrost if you have already done this.</div>
<br />
<b><i><u>Pumpkin Puree </u></i></b><br />
2 small or 1 large pumpkin*<br />
*research will tell you the smaller, duller pumpkins are best for baking. I went will large and they turned out great with just the right amount of moisture. However, there were not enough seeds for <a href="http://middlewords.blogspot.com/2014/10/spiced-roasted-pumpkin-seeds.html">roasted pumpkin seeds</a>!<br />
<br />
<ul class="inggroups" style="list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><ul class="inggroupitems" id="12133906" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
<li class="item" id="103212327" style="margin: 4px 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times;">1. Cut the pumpkin in half, vertically, right through the stem and down.</span></li>
<li class="item" id="103212327" style="margin: 4px 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times;">2. Flat side down, lop off the stem(s) </span></li>
<li class="item" id="103212327" style="margin: 4px 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times;">3. With a metal spoon, scrape out innards and put in a colander. Set aside.</span></li>
<li class="item" id="103212327" style="margin: 4px 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times;">4. Cut halves into wedges. About 2-3 inches wide by 5-6 inches long. No need to be neat, just cut.</span></li>
<li class="item" id="103212327" style="margin: 4px 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times;">5. Place on baking sheet lined with parchment, skin down. </span></li>
<li class="item" id="103212327" style="margin: 4px 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times;">6. Bake in oven for about 45-60 minutes. You should be able to slide your fork in with no resistance.</span></li>
</ul>
<li><div>
I had selected a large pumpkin, so it took two batches. I chose to refrigerate the second batch in large ziplock bags overnight before processing. It worked just fine. Alternatively, cool the pumpkin until you can handle it and process right away.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just peel the skin off and discard. Cut the slices further if you need to. I used an immersion blender to puree. You have other choices including a food processor, blender, ricer, mill, or good ole potato masher.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are like me, you have waited until you needed some to go through this rigamarole, so hold out whatever you need for your recipe, then dole out the rest into quart bags. I did a cup and a half at a time. This way I will have a little more than the 10.5 oz that most recipes call for, in case I want a Pumpkin Chai. Place the bags in the freezer if you are not going to use it all up in a couple days.</div>

Here is a cute owl card that I made for Emma. My mom ended up liking it so much she asked me to make several for her to give out to coworkers and friends. That was a nice project. Here are them all finished. Aren't they cute all lined up? They are all hand cut and finished. I like the wings.</div>

Emma is growing up so fast and is getting so busy. She started 6th grade and now she has begun Band and is running on the Cross Country team. She goes to school at 7:30 in the morning and doesn't get home until 6:00 at night. Sometimes she has track meets, too. Then she empties the dishwasher and we eat dinner so by that time it is time for homework and bed. </div>
<div align="center">
This is a picture of her at the listener appreciation concert this summer with the radio stations in Boise. She had a great time, and we had fun together. She is getting a little older and it is getting fun to spend time together. We miss so much time when I am at work and when I am unhealthy.</div>
<div align="center">
I have set a goal to lose 135 lbs before she is 15. I don't want her to be embarrased of me when she is a teenager, and I want to hang out with Owen and play sports with him. This is a huge commitment and it is scary to think of the work it will take. What else may change if I lose a third of my body weight? What types of things in my life would be different I wonder...</div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Today was the day that we did not want to wake up to. To begin with, it is the first day since Steve began his new job that the kids and I and Steve all were going in different directions. We attempted to prepare but I have not yet read this chapter in the worst case scenario handbook. First, Steve called me to let me know that he had received notification from Owen's school and Owen has had several instances of bad behavior today. He fell into another child which resulted in a head bashing into concrete, same thing with a drinking fountain, and then just all around horse-play later in the day. This does not make for happy dad. When I called to have my mom talk with Owen, I found that I had miscommunicated about pick up times and Steve did not pick Owen up from the neighbors house. I found out that the rent check I wrote yesterday, thinking it would clear tomorrow, went through today and was returned. Then, Steve got home and the power was turned off, saying we owed over $600.00. We ended up going all night with no power because their systems were down. Emma was not where she was supposed to be when Steve went to pick her up, and all the phones died with no power. Whew...glad that one is over.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have been working on actually completing some Pinterest projects rather than just pinning them. Here is a weekly menu board that I made for the kitchen to keep track of our weekly meals. It isn't quite finished yet, I need to add two more tabs, but I think it is cute. In the bottom box, there are tabs with several different meals to choose for each day of the week. After we have them, we place the card in the top box. This ensures we get variety and everyone gets their favorites. It turned out really cute.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I like to spend my own time doing my own things and here is where I do it. I get a lot of ideas from pinterest for crafts and projects. Sometimes I just need to relax and make something. I love the fact that I have my own space. I like the windows and the light. </span>Julie Beisenherzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09183494198634847604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7086822538702578836.post-21221316463549363432012-06-12T21:23:00.003-07:002012-06-12T21:23:45.261-07:00His & Hers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
