Bruce’s Peanut Butter et al Cookies

Cajun French: la pistache (la pees-tash) – peanut

 

Bruce, our brother-in-law, is addicted to peanut butter. So much so that Linda, his wife, hides the jar of peanut butter in various places around their home. At times even she cannot remember where the jar is hidden. Linda says that if they ever sell the house there will probably be random jars of peanut butter for the new owners. These cookies are for you Bruce and hopefully Linda won’t hide the cookies.

Mais C’est Bon!

Abita Beer Cobbler

Cajun French:  la peche (la pesh)  –  peach

 

The fridge is still over stocked with beer and we are having fun cooking with the beer.  Having some fruit that needed eating, we decided to make cobbler.  We usually use premade pie crust for our cobbler and finding none the imagination kicked in.  Sweet Potato Biscuits, why not use the batter for the cobbler topping? And why not use beer for the liquid?  Why not for sure; it is fantastic!

Mais C’est Bon!

Cajun Fruit Tart

Cajun French: le fruit (lu frū-ee) – Fruit

Fruit is always among our weekly Farmers Market purchases.  Toward the end of the week, we had peaches, plums, and blueberries left and decided to make a dessert tart.  Ok, how do we put a Cajun twist on a dessert tart?  We decided on Steen’s Pure Cane Syrup as a sweetener along with a sprinkle of raw brown sugar on top.  If Meyers Lemons are available substitute 3 thin slices for the lemon juice.  Place the lemon slices on top of the fruit.

This tart is an easy quick dessert.

Mais C’est Bon!

Enjoy!!

Banana Nut Bread Muffins

We had bananas that were getting over ripe and in our opinion are only good to use in cooking.  Always wanting to experiment with whole wheat flour and baking, we decided to try Banana Nut Bread.  Once again, we used honey and applesauce instead of sugar and oil.  Instead of a bread loaf, muffins were baked.  They are dense yet not real heavy nor very sweet.

The muffins are great for breakfast or as a dessert.  As a dessert serve with fresh fruit.

Mais C’est Bon!

Brandied Fruit Cookies

Dessert anyone?

It is always nice to have something sweet after a meal.  Only eating whole grains and watching animal fat, interesting desserts are somewhat a challenge. We are experimenting with dessert ideas and ingredients.  After trying various combinations of whole wheat cookies, we settled on this recipe.

The cookies are sweet.  We like the sweetness because one small cookie satisfies the dessert craving.

Mais C’est Bon!

Bread Pudding

 

What a treat!

We try to eat as healthy as possible.  Yet there are days when things happen, and today was one!  I realized we had various bits and pieces of bread and not wanting to throw them away, I decided to make bread pudding.  Since we only eat whole wheat and whole grain breads, my bits and pieces were of these varieties.  Realizing these breads are not real sweet, I have adjusted my recipe.

Mais C’est Bon!  Enjoy!!
