1 pound of cauliflower. Chopped into rice sized pieces and steamed until tender.

Method:

1: In a large pot brown the sausage, draining some of the fat when browned.

2: Add onion, garlic, mushrooms and red pepper flakes and saute until onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender.

3: Add sage.

4: Add pumpkin and broth, stir well.

5: Over low heat, cover and allow to simmer 15 minutes, stirring now and then.

6: Stir in evaporated milk and allow to heat completely.

7: If using cauliflower, add just before serving.

8: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

Makes 8 servings.

Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Ingredients: 4 very ripe bananas, mashed 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter 3/4 cup sugar 1 egg, beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking soda Pinch of salt 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour Method: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mash bananas in a large mixing bowl with a fork until fairly smooth. Add in the peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla and combine well. Add in the cinnamon, baking soda and salt and mix again. Lastly add the flour, mix well. Pour the mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for about 1 hour. When a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, the bread is done. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and serve! Makes one loaf. Kitchen Notes: If you don't like peanut butter, you can make this into a more traditional banana bread by substituting 1/3 cup melted butter, margarine or applesauce (keeps the bread moist without the added fat) for the PB. Variations my family likes: 1/2 cup of shredded coconut. 3/...
