Pumpkin Shortage

Basenji Feeding
  • 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!!!

    Not sure how Xylitol is being marketed. It is an alcohol found in a lot of plants, including birch wood, which is the source of Xylitol used in medicines. And it is toxic to dogs, even in small amounts. Most of the time you find it in sugarless gum and candy. Here is an FDA warning "Paws Off Xylitol": https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/paws-xylitol-its-dangerous-dogs

    @debbi: I tried going to different grocery stores once my regular store ran out of pumpkin and told me they wouldn't be getting any more until Thanksgiving season rolls around. I have found it at other stores and bought in great quantity. You could also try Target and Walmart if they carry groceries. Debbi J. Wow find that hard to believe… our store out here have canned pumpkin year round? Of course fresh like sweet potato is a better choice then canned anything

    We give Shaye about a heaping teaspoon of pumpkin in her kibble to firm her stool, and it has helped with the anal gland issue. Also cottage cheese helps, as does a little sweet potatoe. In the first instance, when she had really bad problems, I mixed up drained boiled hamburg, rice, and cottage cheese - she loved it and cured the loose stool situation in about a day and a half. I found you can buy sweet potatoe patties in Walmart, and a half of one heated and mixed with her food in the morning, the other half in the evening, makes her eat it all up right away. Since we've been doing these things, she hasn't had anal gland problems and her stool is always firm.
