This makes basically 1 large serving.

1 cup water or soup stock 1 Tbsp olive oil 1 tsp salt 6 oz chopped broccoli 2 oz almonds 3 oz chopped onion 4 oz peas 1 tsp minced garlic 4 oz cooked black beans 2 oz cream cheese

Cook the broccoli and almonds over high heat with the water, olive oil, and salt. When they are mostly soft, add in the everything else except the cream cheese and beans.

Cook until everything is soft. Add more water/stock if necessary.

Transfer to a blender, add the cream cheese and beans, and blend until smooth.

Variations

It's goblin soup, so you can do basically whatever you want.

Olive oil: use any kind of oil, or butter. Almonds: use any kind of nut or nut butter. Beans: use any kind of bean or legume. Vegetables: There are 13 oz of vegetables. Use whatever combination you want. Just remember that harder vegetables need to cook for longer, so they go in at the beginning with the nuts. Cream cheese: use cream, sour cream, any kind of cheese, evaporated milk. Use 1-2 tsp of any herb or seasoning you want.

Combos I've tried: •Olive oil, spicy pistachios, refried beans, carrots, celery, peas, rice, spinach, garlic, cream cheese

Based on the Tasting History recipe.

2 ½ lb acorn squash 12 oz green apple 3 eggs ¼ cup dried herbs (I used sage, fennel seed, ground coriander, and thyme) 2 Tbsp butter 2/3 cup dried fruit ½ cup raw sugar ¼ cup fruit juice 1 unbaked pie crust extra butter for frying

I chose acorn squash rather than pumpkin because it doesn't need to be peeled. And the different colors from the skin and the flesh makes a nice visual.

Cut the acorn squash in half, cut out the stem, and scoop out the seedy innards. Cut the squash into thin slices.

Thinly slice the apples and remove the cores.

Preheat oven to 425° F.

In a small bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the herbs.

Melt some butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Dip the squash slices into the egg mixture, then fry them in a single layer for a few minutes on each side. Add more butter as needed between batches of squash.

Combine the fried squash with 2 Tbsp butter, dried fruit, sugar, and fruit juice. Gently stir together.

Prepare the pie crust in the baking pan. Put a layer of apple slices in the bottom of the pie, then add the pumpkin filling.

Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 375° F and bake for 40-50 minutes.

2 cups orange juice 1 cup sugar ½ Tbsp unflavored gelatin powder 2 Tbsp cold water ½ cup hot water ½ cup cold water

Combine orange juice with sugar over low heat and stir until sugar is dissolved.

In a large bowl, stir together the gelatin with 2 Tbsp cold water. When it seems smooth, add in the hot water and stir until it's dissolved. Then stir in the ½ cup cold water. Stir the orange mixture into the gelatin mixture until homogeneous. Cover and chill in the fridge or freezer until totally cold.

Churn in an ice cream machine for 20 minutes. It will have a slushy texture. Transfer to a lidded container and freeze until desired hardness.

1 ½ lb strawberries ½ cup sugar 1 Tbsp butter 1/3 cup strawberry jam 1 cup 2% milk ½ cup cream

Cut tops off strawberries. Combine strawberries, sugar, and butter in a pot. Stir over medium heat until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved.

In a large bowl, combine milk and cream.

In a blender, puree the strawberries with their syrup, and the jam, until totally smooth. Stir into the milk mixture.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in fridge or freezer until completely cold.

Churn in ice cream machine for 20-25 minutes. It can be served soft at this point, or transferred to an air-tight container to freeze harder.

This recipe makes 2 batches for my machine.

2 lbs apples, core removed 2 cups sugar ¼ cup lemon juice

Chop the apples into small chunks. Stir with lemon juice and sugar. If you want the apple pieces to maintain their size, cover the bowl and chill the mixture overnight. Otherwise, the apple pieces will break down a bit while cooking. Just depends on the texture you want.

Prepare a water bath canner and 1 quart-sized jar or equivalent of smaller jars.

Place the apple mixture in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. (Use a large pot. This barely fits into my 3-quart pot.)

Stir the mixture occasionally, watching for overflows, and cook for about 20-30 minutes. Cook until the apple jam reaches gel stage.

Immediately remove it from the heat and pack it into jars leaving ¼ inch headspace, and seal with 2 part canning lids.

Process in the water bath according to your jar size and elevation:

Pint or half-pint jars elevation cooking times: 0-1,000 feet: 5 minutes 1,001-6,000 feet: 10 minutes Above 6,000 feet: 15 minutes

Quart jars elevation cooking times: 0-1,000 feet: 10 minutes 1,001-6,000 feet: 15 minutes Above 6,000 feet: 20 minutes

Table from https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can/canning-fruits-and-fruit-products/apple-butter/

Turn off the heat and allow the jars to sit an additional 5 minutes before removing them to a towel on the counter. Check for seals after a few hours, and store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator.

Cake: 9 oz strawberries, fresh or frozen 2 ½ cups almond flour ¾ cup sugar ¾ cup corn starch 1 Tbsp baking powder 1 tsp vanilla extract ¼ tsp salt

Topping: ½ pound rhubarb, fresh or frozen 1/3 cup brown sugar

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease or line an 8 inch cake pan with parchment paper.

Purree the strawberries in a blender until smooth.

In a medium bowl, combine strawberries with the rest of the cake ingredients. Stir until mostly combined, then use an egg beater to blend it together.

Scoop the cake batter into your cake pan and smooth the top.

Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes or until you can insert a skewer or toothpick in the middle and it comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the cake pan.

While the cake is baking, chop the rhubarb into small pieces. Combine with the brown sugar in a small pot and cook over medium heat until it simmers, the rhubarb is soft, and the sugar is syrupy. If using frozen rhubarb, cook it enough to soften it before adding the sugar. The rhubarb should become mush.

Remove from heat and let cool. Once it is cool enough to handle, purree the mixture in the blender until totally smooth.

Spread the topping over the cake.
