Coconut Tapioca Pudding
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
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
Chewy Cherry Pecan Cookies
This cookie is pretty much like your favorite chewy chocolate chip cookie, but with dried cherries and pecans. I have both unsweetened dried Bing cherries and unsweetened dried tart Montmorency cherries; either would make a good cookie, but with all … Continue reading Chewy Cherry Pecan Cookies

There are so many things you can do with a batch of rice pudding, sort of like topping a sundae. Just set out lots of options—nuts, dried or fresh fruit, coconut, raisins, chocolate chips, M&Ms, whatever might appeal to your … Continue reading Slow Cooker Brown Rice Pudding, Low-Sugar, Lactose-Free
Cherry Clafoutis with Coconut Milk
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

Maple Pecan Pie
A hunting friend with a farm and a sugar shack (a lucky friend) gave us some of his maple syrup, so I decided to make this pie with a cup of it. There are a lot of recipes for maple … Continue reading Maple Pecan Pie
Chocolate Cream Pie with Lactaid® Whole Milk
Lactaid® whole milk is new to me, but I’ve been trying to cook with it, mostly for things only my husband will eat that call for milk. It has more sugars than regular milk, and that can’t be good for … Continue reading Chocolate Cream Pie with Lactaid® Whole Milk
Pumpkin Blondies
Remember the Great Pumpkin Scarcity Caper, where we cleaned out the local grocery shelves of canned pumpkin because of the dog? You might remember that I confiscated 3 of the large cans for my cooking. I used one of them … Continue reading Pumpkin Blondies
Chewy Muesli Bars
We go to the cabin this weekend for the first day of antlered deer season on Monday and I didn’t want to fuss with bowls and spoons and almond milk to eat the muesli that I eat for breakfast every … Continue reading Chewy Muesli Bars
Chunky Apple Walnut Cake
I’m not sure where I copied this recipe from, but it’s on a post-it note, so it can’t be older than the late 70s. I just know that this whole wheat cake is an old favorite; it’s dense and moist … Continue reading Chunky Apple Walnut Cake
