Truly Coconutty Cream Pie
I love coconut cream pie, but oftentimes, I feel like the coconut flavor is lost in the vanilla pastry cream filling. This coconut cream pie recipe enhances the coconut flavor and texture by utilizing it throughout the recipe.
Vitamix Hummus
This Vitamix hummus is the result of my quest for hummus that is perfectly creamy and flavorful. We have many Middle Eastern restaurants in metro Detroit and I've always wanted to perfect the recipe at home. The secret to ultimate creaminess with this recipe is the Vitamix blender, which really emulsifies the mixture so it's not grainy. Using a food processor in the past, it never came out smooth. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and lightly garnish with a dash of paprika or minced parsley if desired. Sprinkle toasted pine nuts on top when serving for a savory variation. Great with freshly baked pita, pretzels, or sliced vegetables.
Ham with Pineapple
I love making this pineapple ham with a spiral ham and a brown sugar and pineapple glaze. It always receives applause for its beautiful presentation and irresistible flavor. You will definitely want to have some leftovers!
