Hey Humble Readers...
I just wanted to let you know how the new recipes worked out.
The cornbread and sausage stuffing turned out pretty good. It was different from what I'm used to (which I was expecting, but alongside the turkey and everything it still threw me a bit), and out of habit, I left the salt out of the recipe, which I think was a mistake. Next time I would also up the sage/garlic powder/ground pepper just a bit. My Beloved really really liked it, and is really excited that there is a ton left over for tomorrow night, and to freeze.
The maple pumpkin cheesecake was amazing! I made it as low carb as I could, while still using the graham crust (which I made with Spl.enda) and the maple syrup. It tasted absolutely divine! I had some crust issues, but I think if I doubled the crust and baked it a bit longer before adding the cheesecake part, it would have turned out better. I haven't made a lot of cheesecakes tho, so who knows. Even with a soggy crust, it was still a lot better than every pumpkin pie I've ever had.
And for your viewing pleasure... here's what my dessert looked like.
While I might not be a hobbit genetically, I do believe that I am one culturally. A homebody at heart, with a fear of (but slight craving for) adventure, who values simple things like good food, good books, and good friends. Chronicling the journey of the unlikely pairing of a Hobbit and an Ent, who have travelled down the road through infertility & RPL, toward building our family. We've come a long way, and now with two precious wee-lings in tow, our road goes ever on and on...
Oooooh, that looks divine!
