SHF 37 - The Beta-Carotene Harvest - Part 1

Pin It Now!

So here it is - the fist part of the round-up of all the fabulous bloggers who participated in November's edition of Sugar High Friday! There were quite a number of you, so hopefully I didn't miss anyone (but if I missed yours, let me know I will be happy to add). I received TONS of submissions, and I'm totally jet-lagged right now, so I promise to have the rest of 'em all up first thing tomorrow morning. MUCHO thanks to all those who participated, and also to Jennifer of the Domestic Goddess who came up with the whole idea.

November has completely whizzed by for me - between work, class and travelling to Thailand for my father's wedding, it feels absolutely impossible that it's the end of the month already! November is ending with a white, blasty bang here, so it seems almost impossible to fathom that mere weeks ago people were actually harvesting from the cold, frozen ground. :)

And without further ado, I invite you to travel the globe (virtually, of course!) and check out this month's entries into Sugar High Friday....

Brittany from The Pie Lady has come up with a lovely sweet potato flan with brandy snaps, cider reduction and glazed pecans. Yummy!


Sophie from Mostly Eating created butternut squash, oat and ginger cake bites for your perusal and enjoyment. Check them out!


Judy from No Fear Entertaining offers us a vamped-up version of pumpkin bread in the form of muffins. I bet that smelled fabulous!


Courtney from Coco Cooks gives a twist on the traditional Spanish/Latin American churro, with her sweet potato and orange zest version. Looks very tasty!


Rosa, a fellow Canuck from Rosa Jackson: Edible adventures in Paris, Nice and beyond, has baked up a batch of butternut squash muffins. Watch out Jamie Oliver!


Helen from Tartelette has baked up an exquisite Pumpkin Praline Cheesecake for you to try. One would expect nothing less from the Tartelette!


Caroline from A Consuming Passion profers a simple yet exceedingly flavourful pumpkin breakfast cake. Beautiful work!


Rachel of Vampituity stepped out into the world of weird and different with this very fun cantaloupe soup. Kudos for thinking outside the (carbon shoe)box!


Anne from A Foodie Froggy in Paris came up with a creative and tasty-sounding orange tart (yep, they do have a lot of betacarotene!). Merci Anne!


Inge from Vanielje Kitchen offer yummmmy sounding Spiced Carrot, Pineapple and Walnut Cake. Not your average carrot cake for sure!


Susan from Food Blogga came up with a very snazzy Persimmon and Date Bread...not to be missed!


Eva from The Golden Shrimp played around and came up with Sweet and Savoury Parsnip Muffins. I love parsnips!


Meeta from What's for Lunch, Honey? gives us a wonderful take on Crème Caramel, flavouring it with sweet potatoes and toffee. I'm drooling - yum!


Daniela from Fragole & Cioccolato has created a rustic and spicy tart, to be enjoyed with a cup of tea. Grazie!


Cakelaw from Laws of the Kitchen shares with us a low fat cake laden with the goodness of pumpkin and sultanas - check it out!


Karyn from Hot Potato has created mini pies that provide the same cute one-serving appeal as cupcakes...but they are pies! Check out her mini pumpkin pies!


Louise from Knit 1 Bake 2 revamped the humble carrot cake with her Ultimate Carrot Cake with Marscapone and Fromage Frais Topping.


Nora of Life's Smörgåsbord comes from down under and refreshes us with a Mango and Apricot Frappé.


Ann of Redacted Recipes shares her Bittersweet Carrot Orange Cake Mini Bundts with Cream Cheese Frou Frous. Cute!


Elizabeth from SMBSLT's Journal shares her delicious and moist Pumpkin and Sour Cherry Scones. I will have to try sometime!
