Coconut Rice Pudding with Mango

Dominique — Fri, 26 Jun 2020 10:00:24 +0000

This is a complete hybrid of different rice pudding recipes; American rice pudding, Indian rice pudding and Thai coconut sticky rice with mango. All combined through my love for coconut rice and mango, which I have my Jamaican roots to thank. I have to admit, I actually thought to myself is this recipe culinary appropriation?...

Fig Custard Cake

Dominique — Thu, 20 Sep 2018 10:05:19 +0000

Sometimes you just crave a cake, not one laced with frosting, but one simple and studded with plump, juicy in-season fruit. This fig cake is not super sweet which makes it sociably acceptable to eat any time of the day. We, in fact, had it for breakfast and I did serve it with fresh brown...

Pecan and Sea Salt Toffee Bars

Dominique — Wed, 27 Dec 2017 11:00:21 +0000

I really wanted to get this Pecan and Sea Salt Toffee Bars recipe out to you before Christmas, but life happened. Such is life right? At least that is what I keep telling myself so I feel better for missing three weeks worth of blog post over the past couple of months. In our house,...

Apple Frangipane Tarts

Dominique — Wed, 01 Nov 2017 10:00:22 +0000

We have another apple recipe for you, just because we have really been trying to get in the habit of cooking seasonally. I can’t deny that tomatoes taste best in the summer, and apples are at their best in the fall. Produce in season just taste so much better. These apple frangipane tarts are not...

Slow Cooker Apple Butter

Cooks and Kid — Wed, 11 Oct 2017 10:00:55 +0000

This slow cooker apple butter will have your entire house smelling just like fall! The cloves and cinnamon are so warm and intoxicating with the cooked down apples. We love apple butter in this house, and I have never thought to make our own, but we came back from apple picking with more apples then...

Bourbon Vanilla Peach Galette

Dominique — Thu, 20 Jul 2017 14:07:01 +0000

Easy and delicious are two adjectives that I love together when it comes to food. You can use both those words to describe this Bourbon Vanilla Peach Galette. Now, this might sound fancy and complicated but, I promise you it is not! If you can wield some dough and slice peaches you are more than...

Whole Wheat Banana Bread with Toasted Coconut

Dominique — Wed, 10 May 2017 10:00:26 +0000

We love banana bread in our house, but I have to admit most recipes are too sweet for me. Like eating a slice of cake first thing in the morning. More of a dessert than a bread. I wanted to change that and make it slightly more healthy and not so sweet. This Whole Wheat Banana...

Sour Cream Biscuits

Dominique — Wed, 19 Apr 2017 10:00:34 +0000

Before I can share with you this recipe for Sour Cream Biscuits, there is a little bit of history to share. Pillsbury was a favorite growing up, then it became all about Popeye’s. Real fancy, right? To me baking biscuits has always been elusive, not something you make at home. A baked good only to...
