Pumpkin Carrot Juice

“Pumpkin Everythang”

Thick, rich, creamy and sweet, the most refreshing drink to serve with a filling dinner. This pumpkin carrot juice is a take on a childhood favorite drink that I’m sure most Jamaicans will attest had an impact on their childhood. The addition of pumpkin takes our favorite drink to a new high.

Pumpkin Garlic Knots

“Pumpkin Everythang”

Garlic knots are a staple at every pizzeria I’ve ever been to. They are almost always delicious, warm, salty and garlicky. Sometimes the garlic can be a little too harsh and sometimes they whole thing can be way too oily. So let’s take it to the kitchen and what we get is a recipe for the best garlic knots ever; sweet, salty garlicky, buttery ,everything that’s right about the world comes full circle in one bite of these.

Pumpkin Pork Lasagna

“Pumpkin Everythang”

And the nominees for most comforting food are (drum roll please) mac n cheese, fried chicken, soft baked chocolate chip cookies and none other but lasagna. Who would win that battle? I can say that if this pumpkin pork lasagna was in the running it would be a tight race. It’s loaded with flavor and cheesy, meaty goodness.

Pumpkin chocolate fudge brownies

“Pumpkin Everythang”

Moist and delicious are the perfect words to describe this brownie; chocolate fudge brownie swirled with pumpkin puree. I love feeding people veggies hidden in desserts. Yes the nutritional value is almost nonexistent. But it just feels good to eat a whole brownie knowing that there is pumpkin in it. Makes you feel like you had at least one serving of veggie, as if this guilty treat is not so guilty.

Bacon wrapped Pumpkin stuffed chicken breast

“Pumpkin Everythang”

The moment I knew this recipe was good was when my cousin (who hates pumpkin) grabbed one of these like a hot pocket and ate it with her hands, no knife no fork.  It’s a very simple and easy dinner, great way to get the persons who don’t like pumpkin to eat it.

Beef and rice stuffed pumpkin

“Pumpkin Everythang”

This is delicious beef seasoned rice baked in a sweet Jamaican pumpkin. The most beautiful pumpkin I have ever made, stuffed with rice, beef, raisins and so much flavor. It’s so easy and it looks so posh and sophisticated. This is how everyone needs to serve rice on thanksgiving. It’s such a statement. And who doesn’t love edible bowls?

Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Dots

“Pumpkin Everythang”

Yum, Yum, Yum it’s like a little teeny tiny cinnamon sugar pumpkin doughnut. It’s crispy, it’s crunchy it’s delicious. I was super lazy from making three pumpkin recipes back to back and I needed a quick (and I stress the word QUICK) recipe that I could film and photograph so I could leave the kitchen. This was the idea that popped into my head. What quicker than frying? And what’s better than cinnamon sugar?

Crunchy Pumpkin vanilla bean French toast

“Pumpkin Everythang”
 

Syrup optional, the French toast that can stand on its own is here. It packs loads of flavor and is perfectly sweet. The best way to enjoy pumpkin for breakfast and a great way to trick your kids into eating pumpkin without the slightest clue as to what’s really filling their bellies and delighting their taste buds.

Pumpkin Carrot Soup

“Pumpkin Everythang”

Welcome to the third year of Octobers Pumpkin month. In 2013 you got the very delicious sophisticated and refined pumpkin leek soup, followed by the rich, flavorful and hearty Jamaican pumpkin chicken soup in 2014. Today I have stepped it up a notch. The most delicious vegan soup you will ever have!  I mean layer, after layer of flavor. One of the most delicious creamy style pumpkin soups I have ever made inspired by the most delicious soup I ever had at a whole foods market…did I say delicious enough?
