This is basically my grandmothers recipe with a few of my own ideas.
No-bake peanut butter drops with oats, walnuts, and coconut. Boil the base for 3 minutes, stir in everything else, drop, and cool. A stovetop cookie that skips the oven entirely.
No-bake chocolate nut chews with peanut butter, oats, cocoa, and salted peanuts. A stovetop candy that sets on waxed paper with no oven required.
German chocolate pies: two pies at once, gooey cocoa-pecan-coconut filling in flaky shells. One to eat now, one to freeze. A Southern dessert for holidays and church suppers.
New Orleans-style French Market beignets cut into squares, deep-fried golden, and buried in powdered sugar. Make-ahead yeast dough that chills overnight and improves over a week in the fridge.
Pumpkin pie with a buttery brown sugar pecan streusel that bakes onto the top during the second stage. The cross between pumpkin and pecan pie that solves the holiday choice forever.
Linguine a la Anne is a freezer-friendly ham and mushroom pasta casserole in a creamy evaporated milk sauce topped with Romano cheese, sauteed peppers, and croutons.
German Chocolate Brownies with Coconut and Nut Frosting recipe
Dave's deluxe corn chowder simmers salt pork, curry, and tarragon with russet potatoes and creamed corn in evaporated milk. Overnight-rested chowder made for gifting or Sunday dinner.
German chocolate cake from scratch with a cooked coconut-pecan frosting. Three layers of buttermilk chocolate cake topped with a rich, chewy caramel-style filling.
Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie with Hot Fudge Sauce recipe
Banana nut yeast bread is a risen sandwich loaf with mashed bananas, chopped pecans, evaporated milk, and a cinnamon-sugar topping. The slow-risen alternative to quickbread.
Apple dessert bars with a buttery shortbread crust, cinnamon-lemon apple layer, and a rich coconut-nut custard topping that bakes into chewy squares.
One-bowl black bean casserole with cornmeal, sweet corn, tomatoes, and mild green chiles baked until set. Lacto-vegetarian, low-fat, and simple enough for a busy weeknight.
Pumpkin pie cake layers a creamy pumpkin pie filling under a buttery yellow cake mix streusel topping with chopped nuts. Easier than pie, deeper than cake. Thanksgiving dessert that feeds a crowd.
Halloween beef stew with flour-crusted meat, potatoes, carrots, and peas in a creamy thyme-coriander broth, served inside a carved pumpkin shell for a spooky seasonal showstopper.
