This Corn Pudding recipe was taught to me by two wonderful ladies from the South. The flavor of caramelized corn, sugar and vanilla is irresistible. If you make it with coconut oil, there is a light flavor from coconut although the vanilla covers up most of it. You can always […]
Beets are beautiful to behold, deliciously sweet to eat and full of vitamins! I like to wear gloves when handling beets so that my hands don’t turn red. If you are roasting yellow and red beets at the same time, you should wrap them separately so that the red doesn’t […]
