Incredibly Easy Self Crusting Coconut Custard Pie

I woke up this October morning with the urge to use up some ingredients, and freeze some things.
I started with Pancakes, which I am freezing and they will become toaster pancakes.  Then, I made fresh Blueberry Muffins.  Then, I made this incredibly simple Coconut Custard Self Crusting Pie recipe and fell in love with this time saver of a recipe.  Try it to use up leftover coconut.  It only takes a cup.  And, it really is too easy.  Enjoy!

Curried Chicken and Rice Casserole

This looks delicious to me. I saved it to the blog for future testing.  This is another recipe I found in November 2014 issue of Food Network Magazine.  Check it out if you like curry. It's on the entrees page.

Jalapeño-Bacon Skillet Cornbread

I found this recipe for Jalapeño-bacon skillet cornbread in an old the November 2014 issue of Food Network Magazine. It looks so yummy I needed to save it.  If you have an iron skillet, it looks worth trying!  If not maybe another type of dish that can go from stove top to oven.

Fondue, not a diet food.

While Fondue is not strictly a diet food, it can be argued that every good diet has a Cheat Day.  These two recipes are for Cheat Day.  As long as Cheat Day comes about once a month.

Cheese Fondue
Chocolate Fondue

And the fun is in the dipping.  Let the fun begin.  On Cheat Day.

See the recipes on the Appetizer page.

Chicken Cheddar Shells

Chicken Cheddar Shells.  This is a delicious recipe, that sadly does not qualify for low calorie.  I'm sure you could delete the Ritz crackers and some of the cheddar.  And the bacon.  But then you'd have just chicken, shells and broccoli. Which would be fine if you have a bland taste buds.  If you want some flavor, try this just as it is.  I found this at a cooking demo at Publix and they have a series of recipes called Aprons.  Definitely not my invention.  You'll love it!

Today is the day to recycle the pile of magazines in the corner. Ergo, I posted some recipes that looked pretty good. My criteria today is either sinful or healthy. No in-betweens. So check out the new posts and thank you to Cooking Light and Food Network magazines.

Peach Upside Down Cake

It's been a busy day for my cooking blog!  Just made a tasty Peach Upside Down Cake.  It supposed to serve 8.  This is super easy and made with fresh peaches, but I'm sure you could substitute canned if you like.  However, fresh peaches are in season now, so why not use them?!  This recipe is on the desserts page. Enjoy!
