Simple Pea Salad

Pea salad is my favorite way to eat peas. The first time I tried pea salad was at a buffet. My companion told me it was “delicious,” so I reluctantly tried it. I’m not a big fan of peas.

My opinion changed when I tried pea salad, and I spent the next few weeks perfecting the recipe until I believed that my pea salad was perfect. Baker’s Man and a few other friends, and members of the family, agreed. What will you need […]

Pineapple Coconut Milk Cobbler (Vegan)

Pineapple Coconut Milk Cobbler is a simple and delicious dessert that goes together quickly, and bakes perfectly in the oven while you make the rest of your vegan meal on the stove top.

When I realized that I would be using coconut milk, I immediately thought of a pina colada, so I chose a can of pineapple for my fruit. What will […]

Slow Cooker Red Cabbage and Apples

Slow Cooker Red Cabbage and Apples is a twist on a traditional German side dish. At least, hat’s what a German octogenarian told me. This recipe is our attempt to recreate the dish for her. We modified the recipe for Red Cabbage and Apples that she described by preparing it in a slow cooker to make it a bit less labor intensive.
