Peach Poblano Jam

September 10, 2018January 27, 2021 Barbara

We switched to a different variety of poblanos in the garden this year. Last year’s would have been way too hot for this jam, although if you like a jalapeno jelly, you might like the heat. This year’s poblanos started … Continue reading Peach Poblano Jam

Coconut Tapioca Pudding

March 30, 2017November 13, 2017 Barbara

In this variation on tapioca pudding recipes, I use all coconut milk and do not bother with soaking the tapioca first. Neither do I use a double boiler—not a fan of double boilers. Continue reading Coconut Tapioca Pudding

Pecan Sandies

January 21, 2017 Barbara

We used to love the popular commercial version of this cookie, but they changed the recipe years ago, like so many other popular foods did, and ruined them. This recipe comes pretty close to what we remember, and it doesn’t … Continue reading Pecan Sandies

Oatmeal Cranberry Walnut Muffins

December 6, 2016 Barbara

This is a merging of two recipes in my old Betty Crocker’s New Picture Cook Book (1961): “Cranberry-Orange Muffins” (p. 88) and “Oatmeal Muffins” (p. 90). The recipes are so similar in amounts of ingredients, that it didn’t take much … Continue reading Oatmeal Cranberry Walnut Muffins

Cherry Clafoutis with Coconut Milk

June 21, 2016 Barbara

When I went to buy fruit for the blueberry crumble of a few days ago, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to use, so I came home with blueberries, peaches, and Bing cherries (not named for the crooner). Even though … Continue reading Cherry Clafoutis with Coconut Milk

Pear Clafoutis with Coconut Milk

April 24, 2016 Barbara

Still looking at ways to get around using dairy with lactose, whether in desserts or main dishes. Coconut milk comes in handy as a substitute in desserts, and I find the coconut taste mild enough that it doesn’t interfere with … Continue reading Pear Clafoutis with Coconut Milk

Ginger Half-Pound Cake

January 20, 2016 Barbara

Because a whole pound of butter and two loaves is just too much for us. This is the second pound cake I’ve posted here. The first was one from Michael Ruhlman, which we ate with a grilled peach compote. Very … Continue reading Ginger Half-Pound Cake

Happy Birthday to Me Apple Pie

October 26, 2015October 29, 2015 Barbara

Yes, it’s my birthday and I felt like having a little apple pie, with the emphasis on little. I have an 8″ Fire King Sapphire Blue Philbe pie dish that was my mother’s and I seldom use it, but it … Continue reading Happy Birthday to Me Apple Pie

Espresso Banana Walnut Bread

September 17, 2015September 17, 2015 Barbara

My husband mildly hates bananas, but really, really hates coffee, so he can’t complain that I am trying to make him fat with this bread. I’m using my favorite banana bread recipe, making adjustments for the coffee. [Pause while I … Continue reading Espresso Banana Walnut Bread

Heavenly Lemon Ricotta Muffins

August 31, 2015September 1, 2015 Barbara

I was going to make my Lemon Blueberry Ricotta Cake for the department get-together, but my husband didn’t like the look of the blueberries I picked up, so I whipped up my Sparkling Molasses Ginger Cookies. That left me with … Continue reading Heavenly Lemon Ricotta Muffins

Pound Cake with Grilled Peach Compote

August 18, 2015January 19, 2016 Barbara

This is the basic pound cake recipe from Michael Ruhlman’s Ratio (2009) 61-62, which he notes could become a sponge cake if the ingredients are mixed in a different order. How cool is that? Just working together the same ingredients … Continue reading Pound Cake with Grilled Peach Compote
