Join Us!

My best friend & I call ourselves the Freakish Food Cult. Why freakish? Because we LOVE food. Eating it, discussing it, making it....perhaps to a freakish degree. We are two ordinary mothers, wives & women. We have no culinary training other than what we've learned from our families, cookbooks & from each other. We are learning to cook. We enjoy cooking new and fabulous meals & we love sharing our successes, tips & favorite recipes with whomever will listen. We also cook from family recipes (which include Lebanese & Filipino foods), cookbooks, magazines - especially Everyday Food, on-line sites & recipes passed on from friends.

This blog serves to document our efforts, highlight our highest rated recipes & serve as inspiration for the culinarily uninspired. The recipes we love the most are easy, quick & yield delicious results. We are two busy moms for Heaven's sake! We don't have time to slave away in the kitchen! We hope you enjoy our posts & give one of our favorite recipes a try.

Perfect Pumpkin Bake

Looking for fitting meals to pair with the season? One of our favorite comfort flavors is pumpkin. The good news is that many autumn squashes are equal substitutes in recipes. The best tip I have for all seasons is to get to know the produce staff at your grocery store. They can really help you out if your looking for an ingredient or even prep. My produce manager will even cut butternut, acorn, spaghetti squash and pumpkin if asked on the spot!

If after you've cubed your squash you have extra, you can use the extra in soups or even risotto. Stay tuned for those recipes to come!

Here's what you need:
one pumpkin cubed (butternut squash will also work) - approx. 4 cups
3 potatoes cubed
one red onion wedged
one summer sausage roll cubed
one bunch of fresh sage chopped
rosemary (1 T. dried or 1/4 c. fresh)
a drizzle of oil
salt and pepper

Combine all the ingredients in a 9" x 13" dish and drizzle with oil, salt and pepper. Bake for 1.5 hours on 350 F until all the ingredients are tender. Eat and Enjoy!
