Yogurt's Pumpkin Pie Yoda

It ain't green but it's Yogurt and really, Yogurt > Yoda every day of the week, fight me.

... and may the schwartz be with you!



Yogurt's Pumpkin Pie Yoda

Ingredients
6 oz plain, unsweetened yogurt ---> 18 oz tripled
1/4 cup plain pumpkin puree ---> 3/4 cup tripled
1/4 tsp cinnamon ---> 3/4 tsp tripled
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice* 3/4 tsp ---> tripled
1 Tbsp maple syrup ---> 3 Tbsp tripled

Instructions
  1. Combine all of the above.
  2. Whisk to combine.

Yeah, that's really it.   A few items of interest:
  • This recipe makes two servings.
  • I use a yogurt maker and make my own yogurt.  It's freakin' awesome.  Much nicer for the environment, too, since we're buying far fewer plastic yogurt containers, while still eating a tonne of yogurt.
  • I can triple this recipe and get it all to fit into an old yogurt container, which means I don't have to measure every time, and at the end of a work day bookended by a bike commute?  That's awesome.
  • Our favorite additives are walnuts and dried cranberries.  So tasty. 
  • Space Balls is hilarious on its own, but after you've seen Star Wars, it's unbearably hilarious.  Why had I seen Space Balls twice before I saw the original trilogy?  Truly a mystery for the ages.

* Make your own pumpkin pie spice by combining:
4 Tbsp ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp ground ginger
1 Tbsp ground cloves
1.5 tsp ground nutmeg

Leia'll Make You Wait for It Cheesecake

... or, "More Commitment than Marriage Cheesecake" or "The Long Engagement Cheesecake," because seriously, this cheesecake. Not for the faint of heart. I wanted to make a good ol' regular plain cheesecake because I'd just gotten a springform pan, and that's what you make in a springform pan - cheesecake! I don't remember why I got a springform pan in the first place, since cheesecake wasn't the motivation. Let's see if my partner remembers. ... Well, THAT was painful, but hey, we remember! It was a cheesecake, but it was a Boston Cream Cheesecake , and since that's half cake and half cheesecake, it hardly counts. Not that you care. Doesn't matter. What does matter is that I wanted to make a plain old cheesecake and instead ended up with what is, to date, the WEIRDEST recipe in my arsenal that yields the BEST sweet I make. No seriously, hands-down, this is the best. Better than my brownies . Better than my Mexican't Chocol...

The World is your Oyster Mushroom Salad

Funny story for you. Thursday, we ran out of fresh salad greens, so we popped by the grocery and picked up two big tubs of greens.  Saturday, our farm share portion arrived, containing a smaller-but-still-substantial tub of fresh greens, and a smaller-but-spicier tub of microgreens. Sunday, I drove my partner to the airport so he could go see his grandfather, who had had a stroke and was in need of family to keep him distracted from hating his physical therapist. Which meant that I was facing a week alone with what measured out to approximately one (1) metric fuck-tonne of fresh greens.  Like, enough that it would be PLENTY for two people. I am one people.  You may see where this would cause concern. Except not for me!  I've totally  got this.  "I'll just eat salad for breakfast, lunch, and dinner the whole week you're gone!" I announced to my partner, who looked at me like that was the worst thing he could imagine.  "Either I'll be the healt...

You Better Watch Out, You Butternut Squash

"... you better not pout, I'm telling you why.  Healthy lunch is coming to town~" It's not even Christmas season, but that's stuck in your head now.  You're welcome.  Also, I'm not expert on Santa Claus, but I'd be willing to wager he'd appreciate you leaving this out with the chocolate chip cookies.  Not instead of, but with.  No coal in your stocking this year if you do that. Got the butternut squash recipe from this site , but I'm putting it here because a) things sometimes disappear off the internet and I don't want to lose track of this one, and b) I've added broccoli and egg to my dish, and it's best to keep it all together. You Better Watch Out, You Butternut Squash (with broccoli) Ingredients 1 butternut squash (around 3lb) 1 Tbsp olive oil (I so eyeball this) 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground coriander 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (I eyeballed this, too) Scant 1/2 tsp kosher salt 1/4 tsp fresh ground black ...
