#PumpkinWeek Day 2 Recipes:


Ingredients
  • 1 (15 oz) can white beans (traditional would be garbanzos, but my little guy is allergic)
  • 1 C pumpkin puree (how to make pumpkin puree: version 1, version 2)
  • 1/4 C  tahini
  • 1/4 C lemon juice (from approximately 1 organic lemon)
  • 2 T olive oil + more for serving
  • 4 cloves garlic (roasted or raw, I used a combination of roasted and raw for this version)
  • 1/4 t ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 t ground ginger
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • dash of cayenne


Procedure 
Puree all ingredients in a blender. Spoon into a serving bowl and drizzle with more olive oil, if desired. Serve with cut pita or vegetable crudités or both.

I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat.

Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo.

But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
