Pumpkin Shortage

Basenji Feeding
  • 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?

  • I knew I should have put this thread in the off topic section. :p:D

  • Sorry Nemo the zucchins did it set me off on old time foods. Got my pumpkin pies in Sara Lee boxes today just in case.

  • 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. :D

  • 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.

  • another kind of pumpkin shortage? I mean short pumpkins…

    That little girl is somebody's cute little pumpkin. :D

  • 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.

  • AgileBasenji..
    Thank you so much for that recipe..the Cheesecake one..
    I just made it for tomorrow and oh..my, I wonder if it will make it until tomorrow..it looks so good..and smells to die for..
    Again, Thanks

  • 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!!!

    @Saving said in Anal Gland Health Diet Adjustment (ideas?): scavenging on walks has increased though and that's quite annoying. LOL, omgosh! The amount of food tossed on the ground is astounding! And doodle will grab it up before I have any idea it's there! I wish I had a picture of the day she pulled a (whole) bagel out of a bush!

    Thank you everybody so much! I appreciate all the info. I had some vanilla Breyer's all natural and gave my guy a taste of that... boy does he seem to think that's a great treat! Obviously, though I don't want that to be the only thing I do. I'm going to follow up with our vet on getting a draw for the full thyroid panel at hemopet once next pay check comes through. You were right he was only checked for T4. Thank again basenji forums! I was looking back at pics from when he was younger and weighed more. I think he's always been a bit taller than standard and had a little barrel chest. Used to call him a basenji bouncer at the dog park. He was all about playing with the labs, pits and other big dogs - probably because he knew he could outrun them if they ever got too rough. He's much more about slow walks with me and lap snuggles these days ❤

    Basenjimamma - I'll look at the varieties of Heinz baby food. Thank you for the tip. I notice that most say cook the sweet potatoes. Does anyone feed them raw?
