dsyogaandmore: making

in the last week quite a bit of making happened in my kitchen, and it was mainly pumpkin-making. so much, my little girl asked one time at breakfast, looking at the fresh orange juice :"is it pumpkin?"

as usually when I have pumpkin it's pumpkin-soup,but I really wanted something different and also I knew I need a bit of variation, as the girls won't eat soup every day...

so here is what happened...

I started off with pumpkin muffins...and while writing this I just realised I shared this recipe with you already and linked you there. I did not put walnuts in and topped the muffins with some crumble I happened to have left - yes, delicious, even for the girls - a good start!

Another day I decided it's time for "Strudel", so why not try pumpkin-Strudel!? I looked through different recipes and in the end did my own thing:

Pumpkin-Strudel filling:
1/4 piece of a pumpkin
1/2 pack feta cheese
1 small egg
onion, garlic
nutmeg, salt, pepper

cut the pumpkin small. heat up a little oil and start by putting the finely chopped onion and garlic. add nutmeg, salt and pepper and then the pumpkin (either grated or chopped into small pieces). turn heat down, put lid on and let steam just until pumpkin is a little soft.
let the pumpkin cool off a little, then add the egg and cubed feta cheese. gently mix together and fill your Strudel!

I served with a yogurt-mint dip...definitely something I'll repeat!

After that it was time for something sweet again...a wonderful spicy pumpkin bread. I found the recipe here. I did leave out the walnuts, as I took it in for my yoga students and I just feel there is too many nut-allergies around. I did add one banana and made it into a spicy pumpkin-banana-bread :-)
