Sangria by the Pros
I found a good sangria recipe and headed to the liquor store to purchase the brandy and red wine. In line ahead of me was a man who said he has been a bartender for 20 years now and that the recipe needed a few touch-ups if I wanted to make it like the professionals. So here is what he professed to me. Thanks to the other submitters for their delicious versions as well.
Maple Meringues
A variation on the typical meringue recipe that I discovered by accident. A little chewier and maplier than usual.
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.
