Pumpkin Bread Pudding

Pumpkin Bread Pudding

It's that time of the year!! Everything PUMPKIN!! The month of October is my Favorite month of the year!! Cooler weather, trees are starting to turn orange, red & yellow, pumpkin flavors are out, and the best part of the month is...Halloween!! My favorite holiday of the whole year! I love to watch scary gory bloody movies throughout the year, but there is just something about the month of October and Halloween that makes scary movies so much more enjoyable. And being that I live in the South, in the great state of Louisiana, with history of haunted houses, haunted plantations, Tree Farm Massacres, and my favorite of course is The 13th Gate, located in Baton Rouge, La., well I get to really enjoy the holiday. Back to the pumpkin, I absolutely love the flavor. Which can be in just about any recipe, cake, dessert, coffee, even side dishes. I'll be posting some of my favorite recipes, and recipes that just simply look mouth watering. Happy Halloween to all!!!!Ingredients:                                                                                                                              
 3 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
6 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 (15-ounce) can 100% pure pumpkin (not pie filling)
1/2 pound French or Italian bread, sliced thick and torn into large chunks
Whipped cream, if desired

Directions:                                                                                                                                        
1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except the bread and whipped cream; whisk until smooth. Add bread and stir until all chunks are evenly moistened. Cover and let soak 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

3. Spoon bread mixture into baking dish and bake 1 to 1-1/4 hours, or until set. Let cool slightly, spoon into serving dishes, top with whipped cream, and serve.
Options:  You can also bake this recipe in individual ramekins. Just place them on a baking sheet and reduce baking time to 40 to 45 minutes.

Simple Pumpkin Fudge








Ingredients
3⁄4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2⁄3 cup evaporated milk
1⁄2 cup canned pumpkin
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 (11 ounce) package white chocolate chips
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
1 cup chopped pecans
1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions
In a heavy saucepan, combine the first 6 ingredients (butter, sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice); cook mixture over medium heat.
Bring mixture begins to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil mixture until candy thermometer reaches soft-ball stage. It's best to use a candy thermometer but if you don't have one you can boil the mixture until it gets foamy and once it's foamy boil for an additional 4-6 minutes.
Remove pan from heat; stir in chocolate chips until melted. It's important to remove it from the heat so that the chips don't get overheated and turn grainy.
Add the marshmallow cream, pecans, and vanilla and stir to combine well.
Pour into a buttered 13x9 inch baking pan; cool to room temperature.
Cut into squares; store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container. Enjoy

Shrimp and Grits : Throwdown with Bobby Flay : Food Network

Shrimp and Grits 



Shrimp and Grits

This dish looks absolutely amazing! And its Bobby’s recipe from throwdown, so im sure it is delicious!!!!

Throwdown with Bobby Flay 

Ingredients

Shrimp:

1 1/2 pounds (26-30 count) Shrimp

2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (recommended: Tony's Louisiana Cajun seasoning)

1 tablespoon paprika

1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning

Freshly ground black pepper

Grits:

2 cups water

2 chicken bouillon cubes (recommended: Knorr)

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

1 cup quick grits (recommended: Quaker)

1 tablespoon tomato paste

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

3 1/2 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar

Sauce:

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

1 tablespoon minced garlic

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup chicken stock

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended: Louisiana Hot Sauce)

1 slice sugar-cured country ham



Directions

First, peel and devein the shrimp. In a small bowl, combine Cajun seasoning, paprika, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the shrimp to coat well and set the shrimp aside.


Next, make your grits. In a medium saucepan, bring water, chicken bouillon cubes and 2 tablespoons butter to a boil. Slowly add the grits, whisking often with wire whisk for 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, cream, and cheese. Keep whisking for another 2 or 3 minutes until the grits become creamy. Don't skimp on the butter and the cream, folks.


Now saute the shrimp. In a large saute pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add in the spice-coated shrimp, and cook only until they're just done and tender. Don't overcook. Remove the shrimp from the saute pan and set them aside in a bowl. You can taste 1 or 2, to see if they're okay.


The roux is next. With all those wonderful drippings from the shrimp in the saute pan, add 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and stir with a wooden spatula to make a roux. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes until roux reaches a medium-tan color, then slowly add the chicken stock and heavy whipping cream. Whisk together and cook for 2 minutes, then whisk in Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Set aside.


And last, a little country ham. Cook 1 center slice of cured country ham in a saute pan, and cut into cubes.


To serve, and this is the best part-place a few heaping spoonfuls of steaming cheese grits onto a place, top with several sizzling shrimp. Drizzle that wonderful roux sauce over top of the shrimp, and sprinkle on a few cubes of country ham. Enjoy.
