Creamy Pumpkin Wontons


We tend to think of wontons as a savory wrap but it works as well with sweet fillings.  Since, I made chocolate wontons, I knew this was my secret weapon for interesting desserts.  Chop up some apples. Add a little sugar and use that as a filling.  Try a little marshmallow cream with a few chocolate chips.  Use your imagination and bring variety to the dessert table.

Creamy Pumpkin Wontons

Ingredients:

30 - 40 wontons
1 small can of pumpkin
3/4 cup of cream cheese
1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice

hot oil about 1 1/2 inches deep in saucepan (large)


Method:

Heat the oil in a pot or deep frying pan.

Lay out the wontons. 

Put water around the edges of one wonton, at a time. 

Put a small amount of cream cheese on the wonton.

Top with a  small amount of pumpkin.

Fold into a triangle and seal by pushing around the entire edge with your finger. Continue doing 3 or 4 of these.

Drop a few at a time into the hot oil.

Turn over after a minute or when it is light brown.

Cook another minute. Drain on paper towels.

You can sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Eat and enjoy.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Image
Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
