Here in the Northwest many friends are a) vegan b) avoiding dairy c) lactose-intolerant or d) all of the above. This recipe makes sure they don't miss out on one of the best parts of dessert: whipped cream! Keep a can or two of coconut milk in your fridge so that you're always ready to make this recipe! Variations on this basic version abound: add citrus zest, matcha (green tea) powder, cocoa, almond extract, pumpkin pie spice, mmm...! Plan ahead, because the coconut milk needs to chill overnight.

Traditional Mince Pies
Mince pies are a British Christmas tradition. My brother gave me this recipe for these delicious homemade mince pies so I decided to share this wonderful recipe with you.
Bavarian Sauerkraut
This sauerkraut recipe has to be the best-tasting sauerkraut I've ever had. Traditionally, my family serves pork and sauerkraut every New Year's Day for luck in the coming year. I love cabbage in general and like most sauerkraut recipes, but they can be pretty sour depending on how they're prepared. Sadly I don't remember who gave me this recipe and who deserves the credit since it was pulled from a collection of handwritten recipes I've kept for years. I made it as a side dish for New Year's Day dinner, and it was a complete hit! This is certainly not your typical sour sauerkraut recipe.
