Pumpkin Shortage

[Shaye's Mom]

We get frozen sweet potato fries and love them. sometimes I give the girls one before cooking, and they think they are frozen treats.

@Basenjimamma:

Yes sweet potato anything for me please, except maybe pie..nope has to be foodie stuff, not after dinner stuff, and if they are fried, even better..

..

That first recipe I posted was for Sweet potato cheesecake. You might change your mind.
But then I love cheesecake.

I was mainly thinking sw. pot pie..not a favorite, cheese cake sounds very interesting…and dreamy, I mean creamy..;)

Jepp, it has gotten printed, it looks and sounds delish..

OK everybody this thread is going off topic from pumpkin shortages to sweet potato recipes. Let's all calm down here and get back to the subject. (-:

Wouldn't any kind of squash work? Does it have to be pumpkin or can it be, I don't know, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, hubbard squash….?

We used to grow all of those when I was a brat ankle-biter kid on the farm. (And zucchini...lots and lots of zucchini... I still have nightmares about fried zucchini, zucchini soup, zucchini bread, zucchini zucchini zucchini:eek:)

Here's Belinda being forced to draw zucchinis.:D

I think any of those squashes would be fine.

Yes zucchini and fried green tomatoes and rubarh pie yes greens picked from yard looked like weeds. What about homemade bourbon balls at holidays?

The most hilarious thing about the photo is that little girl could pass for me when I was her age…at least pass as my sister.

I haven't given Cody pumpkin, but he loves sweet potatoes, thankfully. We have had an overabundance of sweet potatoes this year, and most of them are huge (3-4 times the size that they usually are). We've actually had them with dinner so often in the last few weeks, we've joked about writing a book entitled "1001 Ways to Cook a Sweet Potato". I usually make a pumpkin cheesecake for the holidays, but I will have to try the sweet potato cheesecake.

That little girl is somebody's cute little pumpkin.

Normally I am not a fan of sweet potato pie, but this place in Chicago, Soul Vegetarian East, makes a vegan sweet potato pie that is to die for.

Edit: Rob makes a really good zucchini pizza crust too.

oh, man, send me a piece. we're going to a friend's house, and i wasn't "required" to make dessert this year. I do think i'm going to make red velvet cupcakes for Digital's birthday (next month), not that he can have any, but i do like the red velvet cake and it'll be the last night of my control unleashed class, so there's that.

anyway, that cheesecake is just delish!!!
