Homemade Pumpkin Tortelli with Lemon Cream Sauce on November 20
We had some of the pumpkin tortelli we made 2 weeks ago with lemon cream sauce. When I was in Austin, my friend & I ate in a real nice restaurant called the Eastside Cafe. We met one of my co-workers (who lives in Austin) there for dinner. They had a butternut squash ravioli dish that was served with a lemon cream sauce and was delicious! I decided to try it at home with my pumpkin tortelli and my lemon cream sauce recipe. I shaved some white and black Oregon truffle over the top to complete the dish.
Bruce made a nice salad of arugula, dandelion, black olives, radishes, green onion, pine nuts, and shaved Parmesan cheese. The dressing was a white balsamic and champagne vinaigrette. We enjoyed a nice bottle of Tavel 2007 rose’.

Who We Are
Sunburned and full!
My husband, Bruce, and I live on the beautiful Oregon Coast. We are passionate home cooks and make dinner from scratch almost every night of the week. We shop the farmer’s market, buy as much from local producers as we can, and support the organic, sustainable, and Slow Food movements. We believe that knowing where your food comes from, cooking from scratch, eating well, in season, and together at the table are all part of living healthy. You won’t find many foods from the middles aisles of the grocery store in our house!! This blog is an account of our home-cooked meals for the year 2008 (and now 2009). The way it works is I prepare the main entree’ (I usually don’t follow a recipe–I like to think of recipes as reference and use them to generate ideas) while Bruce usually makes a salad to match. We eat the salad after we eat the main entree’. We learned to eat that way when we visited Italy and prefer it now. We always have a bottle of wine with dinner, so we’ve documented it as well. We don’t go by what’s best with white or red, we just drink what we like. This project started in December 2007 when there were many discussions regarding the frequency in which favorite dishes were made. We determined that the best way to know how often we ate pasta with Bolognese sauce (or anything else) was to document it. We have been doing just that in a journal since January 1, 2008. I then decided that it would be better to put it on a blog; not for public attention, but for easier storage management and transferability of the data. If you happen to stumble across this blog and find it interesting, or would like to know how we made something, let me know–I am happy to share.

This dish sounds fabulous! I don’t live too far from the East Side Cafe, but I’ve never actually taken the time to eat there. I’ll definitely be stopping by to try this dish!
I would love to write about the recipe you created on our blog! If you are interested send me an email!
