Tonight's dessert out of my trusty cast-iron pan and made with fresh pineapple. I used a bit of the pineapple liqueur I made last fall in the butter/brown sugar mix instead of pineapple juice like Fannie Farmer calls for. Made one of these last weekend for company with the FF recipe for the cake as well. I used a boxed yellow cake mix this time but added vanilla and subbed pineapple liquor for 1/2 the water.

Chicken, penne rigate, portobello, tomato and basil in a light Romano sauce. Dessert was the pineapple upside-down cake shown above with a little of the pineapple liqueur I made in the spring on the side.

Chuck that chicken & pasta dish looks absolutely delicious. I'll have to try this.

About 2 weeks ago, inspired by a post I saw on another site, I decided to try roasting a whole head of cauliflower. Normally cauliflower is not one of my “go to“ vegetables, but I figured what the heck. I found this other recipe that sounded more appealing flavor wise than just a plain roasted head of cauliflower. Seasoned with a mixture of basil, parsley, thyme, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese and S&P in some olive oil, it was pretty tasty!

That really looks good

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">I'm not a huge cauliflower fan but that looks like something I would like. How did you roast it?</span>

Patrick,

And it's easy too! I cooked the pasta until almost done, and drained it. I cooked the chicken separately, then the veggies except the tomatoes. Sat those aside then a little oil and garlic in the pan to sweat. Then a little flour, brown slightly, and add chicken broth until a loose sauce forms. Add Romano to taste, whisking it in, until the desired flavor/thickness. Add more broth or Romano as needed. Pop everything back into the pan to combine, warm through until hot, and just cook the tomatoes a little. Serve with chiffonade of basil and more cheese on the side.

When I've made this just for me I add red pepper flakes to the oil. Rich doesn't like the heat they give so I leave them out when making it for 2.

Ralph, I roasted the cauliflower in my recently installed, (5 year old), Miele Combi Steam Oven! This is A regular convection oven that will do everything a regular oven will do, roast, bake, broil, etc. but can also add from 0% up to 100% steam at temps up to 435°F! I love it so far and have been using it a lot. Now I just have to find the time to try baking bread or making NY style bagels in it (steam first, then bake).

BTW, I cooked the cauliflower @ 375°F with 60% steam for 35 mins. The regular recipe called for cooking @ 400°F for 35 to 45 minutes covered Dutch oven, then removing the lid and brown under the broiler for 10 minutes more.

Shepherd's pie, Brussels sprouts and the Hellman's curry sauce after a recipe from an old ad that Louis posted a few years ago. This time I made the curry sauce a bit thicker.

An Almost Home Made Apple Pie

In just under 30 minutes from start to out of the oven.

A variety of 6-7 large apples, 2 Ts flour, 1 ts cinnamon dash of nutmeg, 1/3 C sugar, 1/3 C stevia sweetener 2 Ts organic Coconut oil .

One pie crust that you roll out and a Corning ware pie dish.

Oven preheated to 425 F, and bake Microwave power high [ approximately 700 watts ] for 8-10 minutes, check at 8 minutes.

It was good, the apples still have a nice texture, crust was flakey, Todd and I took a nice chunk out of it last night along with home made vanilla ice cream.
