Gluten-Free Coconut Cake
I made this for my mom's 65th birthday and frosted it with a simple vanilla buttercream. No one can tell it's gluten free!
Grilled Chili Steak with Garlic-Lime Butter
As we head into grilling season, this is something you should definitely add to the rotation. New York strip steaks are dry-brined with a chili rub, grilled to perfection, and topped with a rich garlic-lime butter providing a flavor profile similar to that of a bowl of chili. Serve with a cold potato salad, baked or barbecued beans, or a green salad if desired.
Butter Coconut Pie
Kind of like a cross between a sugar cream pie and a coconut cream pie. Rich, buttery, coconut pie.... so good. I am not a good baker... seriously. But in all the years I've made this, I've never screwed it up once! It's that easy. Once people have had this, I'm requested to bring it to gatherings from then on.
