We spent a summer on Oahu and ate our way around the island. One of the things we sorely miss is coconut syrup. This easy recipe is a close substitute until we can make it back to Hawaii for the real stuff. Mahalo.
Ingredients
- 1 can coconut milk , 13.5 ounce
- 0.5 cups white sugar
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch

Rich Dark Fruitcake
This is my mother's very old recipe, at least 60 years old. My mother baked this for my wedding, and it sure is delicious and also a great Christmas cake. This is a very long recipe, but well worth the trouble. You can substitute a cup of drained maraschino cherries for the candied cherries, if you like.
Vegan Shepherd's Pie with Sweet Potato
This vegan shepherd's pie is comforting, healthy, delicious and really easy to make. You can also make it in batches to freeze and serve when you don't have much time to cook. We used lentils to make ours, but you could use chickpeas instead, if you'd prefer. Serve with fresh cilantro if desired.
Marinated Mexican Fish Tacos Slaw
I love coleslaw but I don't love the fat and calories from mayonnaise. This slaw is light, fresh, and the perfect topping for fish or shrimp tacos, or it can hold its own as a side dish. Every time I make it I'm asked for the recipe! The Granny Smith apple is the key ingredient that sets this apart from other slaws of this type.
