Coconut Mango Rice Pudding
What do you do when you have a mango approaching over-ripeness and a half a can of coconut milk? I don’t know about you, but I turn it into rice pudding! Mango and coconut are a perfect flavor match. I love, for example, chunks of ripe mango with some toasted coconut scattered over the top. For a while I considered making a coconut pudding with mango chunks in it, but that seemed sort of boring. That is when I considered a...
Cornbread Pudding
Now matter how hard I try to restrain myself, when it comes to holidays I always make too much food. The 4th of July is no exception. Since we typically have some sort of smoked meat on the 4th, usually of the pork variety, I feel compelled to make a big batch of cornbread to accompany it. (This is a good recipe if you need one.) Cornbread and pork are like peanut butter and jelly. They are good apart, but they are so much better...

Because we had a little extra time before the show began, and because I love...

Once you do you will never use a box of pudding again. Besides, taking about ten minutes to cook the custard and four hours to chill, it is so easy. Many traditional recipes for banana pudding use flour as a...
Butterscotch Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce
I’ve discussed inspiration here a few times, and I admit mine comes from the strangest places. This bit of inspiration hit in my local grocery store’s rather dismal bakery section. Let’s be honest, grocery store bakeries are bleak places stuffed with pre-fab cakes smothered with greasy icing, cookie pucks, and pies with what can best be described as watery crusts. So, right about now I bet your wondering where I...
