Yesterday was scrambled eggs on a whole wheat roll with smoked salmon, applesauce and chocolate for dessert. Tonight is celery cheese soup with cheddar and a toasted English muffin and a kiwi, with apple ice wine.

I made roasted butternut squash with sage, served over penne. Lots of leftovers from our dinner for two (butternuts are so big), so I guess that's what we'll be having for lunch tomorrow, too.

Dinner in a Pumpkin:

1. you clean/scrape out a pumpkin--I prefer pie pumpkins rather than carving pumpkins
2. Brown your meat. I usually end up with either ground beef, pork sausage, or stew meat
3. sautee veggies: I've used  carrots, broccoli, onion, mushroom, bell pepper, celery, water chestnuts, corn, peas
4. Cook your grain: I've used rice-both brown and white, and quinoa.
5. Mix it all together with a can or two of creme of mushroom soup
6. Put it in the pumpkin and bake at 350 for about an hour.

It's really yummy, and when you serve it, you scrape the sides of the pumpkin and eat it too. Really yummy.

ETA: you also put in about 2-3 tsp brown sugar

I'm making Puerto-Rican style empanadas for dinner tonight using leftover pulled pork. I've never tried this style before, so I hope they're good!

Peas and chips and salsa. Weird night. I also made chocolate chocolate chip pecan cookies.

Celery cheese soup (it's kind of bland- if I do it again I'm using sharp cheddar and more herbs) an English muffin and some cheddar on the side.

Scallops. I've never cooked them before, but they were on offer at under a pound so why not :) ? Fingers crossed. (And does anyone know any good recipes?)

Wrap them with bacon, if that is not a dietary concern. Other than that, good luck. I don't know much about scallops, except they taste delicious when wrapped in bacon.

This sounds really interesting and good.  i might give it a try this weekend.

Almost everything tastes better with bacon.
