Texas Strawberry-Habanero Pie.

Strawberry season is almost upon us kids. Temecula Valley Strawberry Farm will be opening on March 1st and my Chandler strawberry plant (who is aptly named Chandler) is already blowing up with berries. Chandler has been with me for many moons now and he… Continue Reading “Texas Strawberry-Habanero Pie.”

Possibly Persimmons. Possibly Persimmon Bread.

Persimmons. The first time I had one I bit into an unripe Hachiya persimmon. The tannins and my tongue did not agree. At the time, I was ignorant of the differences between our two main persimmons, the Fuyu and Hachiya. The Fuyu can be… Continue Reading “Possibly Persimmons. Possibly Persimmon Bread.”

Kona Coffee Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Let’s get one thing straight; I don’t drink coffee. Not because I don’t like it, but it gives me the shakes and keeps me awake and jittery. Bothers my stomach too.  However, every now and then I like to enjoy a little coffee. I… Continue Reading “Kona Coffee Chocolate Chip Cookies.”

Hawaiian Bread Pudding w/ Mangoes, Coconut Milk and Macadamias.

When I go back to Maui I am looking to forward to trying the mangoes from Yee’s Orchard. I somehow missed them last time and I hear they are the best mangoes, no strings supposedly.

Vegan Hawaiian Bread.

Since I’m going back to my precious Maui in March (and Molokai this time), I think I’m just going to stay in a tropical state of mind. Any other year I’d be thinking of what I can make with coconut nog, cranberries, pumpkins and… Continue Reading “Lilikoi Bars.”

Apple Sour Cream Pie.

This MoFo has started to get the best of me. I am le tired! But so many posts left to do. What really helps me is writing my posts in advance and then just pasting them here when I’m ready. I never think recipe… Continue Reading “Apple Sour Cream Pie.”

Lobster Mushroom & Corn Risotto.

Last week I needed some rutabagas for a recipe I wanted to make. I was a little surprised that I couldn’t find them ANYWHERE. I couldn’t find any at the farmer’s market, Whole Foods, 2 other grocery stores….They are supposed to be in season… Continue Reading “Lobster Mushroom & Corn Risotto.”

Vegan Garlic Cheese Biscuits aka Red Lobster Breads!

I grew up going to Red Lobster. I always enjoyed looking into the lobster tank until I was old enough to understand that they weren’t pets of the restaurant…. The best thing about that place were those delicious little salty, cheesey garlic biscuit things… Continue Reading “Vegan Garlic Cheese Biscuits aka Red Lobster Breads!”

Vanilla Bean Bay Leaf Ice Cream.

Homemade ice cream; it’s the best, what can I say. I always get the best results from using canned coconut milk or cashew cream for the base. It’s turns out super creamy and velvety. I saw a version of bay leaf vanilla ice cream… Continue Reading “Vanilla Bean Bay Leaf Ice Cream.”
