Peashoots and Grits

For some reason, whenever I see the word “grits” my brain automatically says “Grits, dummy.” Who amoungst you remembers that reference? Grits are great and incredibly versatile. In this recipe, they are paired with a unique spring green, the peashoot. See what you think. It’s a quick one to prepare for the dinner table!

Pickled Peppers

Sometimes a sub-sandwich or wrap-sandwich just needs a little pizzaz. 3-4 slices of pickled peppers is just the key. And being a capsaicin (i.e. (E)-N-(4-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl) -8-methylnon-6-enamide, trans-8-Methyl-N-vanillylnon -6-enamide) wimp, I need the sweet ones to start with. So, I sneak only a little bit of fire in these beauties!

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cakes

Sweetened only with dates and maple syrup, these nutty, fruit-topped cakes do double duty as both a decadent breakfast and a healthy dessert. Both the cakes and compote can be made ahead and reheated before serving. Serve with Apple-Pecan Compote.

Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate

You can easily take this from a beverage to a dessert by making it into pudding. Add 2 1/2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the mixture in the blender and blend well. Heat on the stove or in the microwave, stirring constantly (or once every minute in the microwave), until it boils and thickens. Pour into 4 dessert bowls and refrigerate until set.

Purple Banana Smoothie

The color combo will make a deep purple drink; the strawberries, blueberries and banana will make an awfully good sweet drink; green leaves will make an appetite-satisfying nutritious drink. Give it a try.
