Fresh Recipe: Acorn Squash and Sweet Potato Soup

This week for Fresh Tip Tuesday I tackled my bag from Farm Fresh Carolina and decided it was a SOUP DAY using acorn squash! Also, my mini was sick, so she needed some liquid gold to help lift her spirits. LOL

Ginger contains gingerol, a substance with medicinal properties and pairs will with acorn squash as well as sweet potatoes so it had to be included. I prefer using ginger paste, or fresh grated, but dried will work for the recipe as well. If you do not have a Tupperware’s Pressure Cooker, you could use an InstaPot or the traditional method of roasting, blending, then simmering on the stove, just know it will take 3 times longer.

Try it out, and let me know what you think!

Acorn Squash and Sweet Potato Soup

1 acorn squash
2 medium sweet potatoes
1/4 cup onion, chopped
2-3 cups vegetable broth
1 tsp ginger, I prefer FRESH
1 tsp fresh thyme
1 (14 oz) can coconut milk, lite
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
salt and pepper

Directions:

Peel and cut squash and sweet potatoes into 1-inch chunks.
Place squash, sweet potatoes, onion, spices and broth to cover in Tupperware Microwave Pressure Cooker. Cook for 16 mins on high. (test to be sure squash is soft after pressure releases.)
Scoop into thePowerChef System and process until smooth. Add back to the pressure cooker and combine with coconut milk. Stir, season with salt, pepper and cayenne.
Serve with artisan croutons.

ENJOY!!!!

Fresh Recipe: Unicorn Pinata Cupcakes

What can I say, my daughter LOVES unicorns. So for Fresh Tip Tuesday I shared a super simple unicorn pinata cupcake recipe. Did you know cupcakes were first invented in 1796 by Amelia Simmons? This icing is incredible, light and easy to make. This version we used unicorn colors and candy, but use whatever candies you like. Maybe even theme out the colors for the Holidays or a Gender Reveal. Try it out and let me know what you think.

Unicorn Pinata Cupcakes

Ingredients

12 cupcakes made with white cake mix & your 3 food colorings
1/2 package vanilla pudding mix
2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
1 cup sprinkles or small candies

Instructions

Mix your white cupcakes to the specifications on the box that you purchased. You will need a cupcake pan (I used Tupperware’s Silicone Molds) and likely water, eggs, and/or oil. Divide batter in 3 smaller bowls and mix with your 3 food coloring’s. Layer a tablespoon of each of the colors, mixing slightly. Make sure they are not more than 1/2 full in the liners.
If using Tupperware’s Silicone Mold’s microwave for 2 1/2-3 mins until done. You will need a tray or plate to stabilize the silicone, I used the UltraPro Lasagna Pan. If baking in the Oven, follow mix instructions.
Once your cupcakes are finished, allow them to cool completely.
Use a knife or apple corer, to cut a small hole piece from the top of the cupcake and set it aside. Carefully scoop out the inside (so you aren’t breaking any of the sides or bottom) of the cupcake with the knife or a teaspoon.
Fill the cupcake with a mixture of sprinkles and candy.
Place the cut out circle back on top of the cupcake.
Make the frosting by whipping the cream and pudding mix together in the PowerChef System. You can use the whip blade that comes with it, or the Whip Accessory Attachment. Whip until thickened.
Using a Spatula put the frosting and a few drops of food coloring a piping bag. Frost the top of the cupcake with white frosting. This will cover the top that you’ve just cut out so that no one can tell. If you can still see any of the cut piece of cupcake, add some more frosting.
Top each cupcake with sprinkles.

Enjoy!
