I forgot which blog had mentioned the Pumpkin Sage Ravioli from the Voluptuous Vegan. Whomever you are, thanks for the suggestion. I love getting reviews from people on cookbooks. I hate to admit it, but I look at the pics in the cookbook and tend to only make them. So when I can go to a blog, see some pics and read a review, I'm oh so thankful.
This ravioli was not that difficult to make, other than the boredom of kneading the dough for 10 minutes. I forgot tonight was the debate, so I assembled them in front of the TV. Not the first time I've done chopping in the living room. There is a table in there, so it's easy and lazy.
The dough has some ground up chiles in them, but there wasn't a burning hot kick to them. Probably need to add another one in there. The inside part was simple too. I cheated and used canned pumpkin. It also had some pecans, sage and onion. There was a lot of the filling leftover, so I will have to eat it. darn ;-).
I froze 1/2 of them and made the other 1/2 for dinner tonight. All in all, they were good, I could acutally taste the pumpkin over the spaghetti sauce. I can't say that about some of the ravioli from the store - and that store ravioli is pretty healthy stuff. I'd make them again.
I've been eating these Sjaak's Halloween chocolates for about a week now. The are the same bites that they have been making for a while. They are about the size of a quarter. Verdict = bone chillingly yummy. The flavors are (sold separately):
Orange caramel filled
Orange caramel filled
peanut butter filled

That ravioli looks amazing. Don't feel bad, I also tend to make the recipes with photos first or ones I've seen photos of on other blogs. I am a visual learner, I guess!
Your ravioli look wonderful! I want them!
that is some beautiful ravioli. i've never made my own, but pumpkin and sage just sounds too interesting not too try.
That ravioli looks amazing!! I am so impressed that you made it, I always look at the recipe and just get discouraged!!
Yes, a Nojito is what i call non-alcoholic mojitos :)
The ravioli looks like it came out great! Yummy. We'll have to try it. And I'd use canned pumpkin too!
I wish those Sjaack people would put more caramel in their chocolates. It's hard enough to find vegan caramel without them skimping on it.:)
joanna, if I can do it, anybody can! you could always cheat by making the filling and putting it on top of noodles, then covering w/ spaghetti sauce. Being lazy, I was leaning towards this method.
suzanne, have you tried their nuts and chews? they have a lot higher caramel:chocolate ratio than the bites do. the orange ones have a very strong orange taste (which I like). I will bring some of these halloween candies to the seattle vegan meetup for the canadian TG on 10/13 and you can be the judge. for all your seattle people, here's your chance to score some free chocolate ;-).
Yum..everything looks delicious! I'll have to look for those chocolates...the peanut butter cups look like I should only have one in the house at a time ;)
Ooooo! Pumpkin ravioli sounds so delicious!!
YOu will steal my husbands heart with those chocolates. :o) He is my chocoholic. I have not had ravioli since going vegan. I must try them sometime.
Ravioli... looks delicious. I've had ravioli on the brain for a while. And those chocolate-orange cookies look just as tasty.
Love your blog name and I like your posts. Will follow you on here.
