Lexi's Coconut Cake with Lime Curd Filling

Lexi's Coconut Cake with Lime Curd Filling by Kristy Brazelton

My daughter turned 15 this weekend. She wanted a cake we saw on Pinterest. Sadly the Pinterest link to the recipe was no longer a good link. So I made up this cake for her. This is a time consuming recipe; not difficult, just many steps. Please note that there is a difference between coconut milk & coconut cream. This is not low in…

Chicken Zucchini Empanadas

Chicken Zucchini Empanadas by Kristy Brazelton

I have zucchini from friends & family that needs to be used. I have also been craving Mexican food. So, I decided to incorporate the two for dinner. The chilis are very mild & have a smokey sweet flavor. Think a mildly smokey-spicy raisin. My kids ate this dish without one comment of it being too spicy.

Orange Pasilla Chili Pork Loin by Kristy Brazelton

Mild heat, Smokey flavor & the orange make this really good. I have been slowly introducing more heat & spice to my kids. All 3 gobbled this up & my oldest & youngest had seconds.

Lightened up mac n' cheese

Lightened up mac n' cheese by Kristy Brazelton

This recipe is from the Sept. 2011 Cooking Light magazine and is the best light recipe I have ever tasted. I use rice flour macaroni in an effort to cut down on glutens. My kids and husband, both of whom refuse to eat squash go for seconds of this. It makes a lot so be prepared for left overs.

My family loves Mexican food. We have so much left over turkey & the kids were revolting on eating anymore traditional turkey dinner. So I made these enchiladas. They really hit the spot with the cold weather.

Pumpkin Scented Cupcakes

Pumpkin Scented Cupcakes by Kristy Brazelton

I had left over pumpkin pie filling after making my Thanksgiving pies; I think my pie shells were smaller than the package advertised! I really dislike throwing unused food away & wanted to try & find a use for it. So I made up this recipe. It is a very tender cake; with a hint of pumpkin & very reminiscent of carrot cake. It ended up…
