Squash Cheesecake

pictured is with pre-made flour-based crust but essentially the same - you can go either way with this filling as it's amenable to flour crust as well.

personal concoctions

Familyoven doesn't have an area (yet) for things thrown together that probably are not deserving of a recipe page all on their own, so I thought I'd share a few favorites or past favorites that were carried through my family.

Jalapeno Cheesecake!

Well, this is partially scientific. The capsaicin in hot peppers gives a burning sensation to the tongue but the fat of the cream cheese simultaneously coats the tongue to partially relieve it. The experiment proved successful and realized right after that it is similar to jalapeno poppers in way with the tongue teasing of the pepper with cooling, however, you eat this cold.

method development of true cheesecake

I was about to make an interesting cheesecake of a certain flavor, but the term "chesecake" keeps haunting me, so I aim on making a CAKE, and not a pie with cream cheese. I've never made a cake before, but understand some basics of cooking so here we go!

Mang Tomas' Biko/Rice Porridge (Sweetened Rice in Coconut Milk)

Hard to find sticky rice where I am and was lucky to find coconut milk! Being sticky rice is practically starchy rice, I decided to work the recipe over to accomodate the many folks who have access to more common ingredients...and added some coconut flakes for added texture and taste!

Split peas and squash

I just find this combination terrific. The split peas provides a dense and hearty sensation and the squash, a sweetness that is further complimented by the crushed black and red pepper. Added tomatoes for extra color. Try it, you will not feel left out by there not being meat in it - it is actually filling. This is easy to prepare.

pan-oatmeal-molasses bread

I tried making bread using a frying pan in the past to see if it could be done and thereby saving energy as opposed to heating an entire oven. I am also rediscovering molasses, a terrific source for sweetness that is packed with minerals, including lithium, the lack of which may actually impart on the prevalence of of bi-polar depression exhibited today.

Ampalaya with carrots and camote

In the Philippines, there's a dish called ampalaya that consists of ampalaya, carrots, and egg. Ampalaya (bitter melon) is bitter and camote (sweet potato) is sweet so I decided to combine these together and it was a success.
