Curd casserole with pumpkin

Cheese casserole – well, what could seemingly be simpler and… boring. Mix the cottage cheese and eggs, add sugar and into the oven. And no, I completely disagree with this! You can addoatmeal and apples, raisins or nuts, berries, bananas, after all. And then it won't be so boring and mundane anymore.

And then it won't be so boring and mundane.

I have a goal now, for example, – to get my family to eat more vegetables, and since winter in our area does not spoil fresh vegetables (I do not take into account the plastic ones from the supermarket), all the local vegetables that can be. And pumpkin, I think, is a gorgeous vegetable – healthy, beautiful and delicious! Here it is and became the next victim of my «casserole» experiment, and, I admit, quite successful. Shall we cook?

Cooking cottage cheese casserole with pumpkin:

I prefer to use pasty cottage cheese for casseroles, but if you use homemade or grits, whizz it in a blender to achieve a perfectly smooth consistency for the finished casserole.

I make pumpkin puree in advance with this recipe and store it in the freezer. But if you don't have a stockpot, bake the pumpkin pieces in a multicooker, microwave, or oven, puree with a blender, and use.

Turkish bagel simit

«To the Turks, simit – what baguette is to the French. It's not just a bread. It's a way of life. They start their mornings with simit, they eat simit at noon and get a good energy boost... Crunchy sesame, slightly sweet browned crust, incredibly tender «creamy» crumb – for the sake of simit, it is worth it to mess with the dough! Especially since the process is not very long and complicated.

Cinnamon braid

The dough is very quick to prepare, the only skill required is to roll the roll into a braid and a ring. But even that is harder to describe than to do. The dough is moderately sweet and moderately fluffy, but flavorful and tender. In general, for a family tea party – very worthy company.
