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
