Pumpkin Pie with Gingersnap Crust




When I told my mom yesterday I was making pumpkin pie she was so skeptical about it. She was so shure she wasn't going to like the taste of it (specially the filling, although she likes pumpkin in other dishes). I told her she didn't have to eat, but after she tried it, she couldn't stop (she absolutely loved it).

Well, I made mine actually with butternut squash (a really orange fleshed one)and a cereal and pumpkin seed based crust (the seeds are imported cause we don't have pumpkin) because we don't have pumpkin nor ginger snap cookies here in Vzla. Excellent recipe, a definite must. And tastes even better with the salted caramel sauce.

Vanilla Coconut Rice Pudding

I usually end up making too much rice whenever I cook it. I usually make a simple snack of the leftovers by adding some salted butter, or throwing it into Monday night stir-fry when I use up any leftover veggies or whatnot. However, this time I decided to try something different. I wanted to make some rice pudding, but I had no cream or whole milk, and didn't feel like stirring over a pot forever. So I whipped up this simple coconut rice pudding. It uses leftover rice, 2% milk (though whole would be fantastic), and some fresh vanilla because, well, I love vanilla. If you have some coconut flakes, I would highly suggest you garnish with them. Simple and easy, it's a nice little way to use up that extra rice. Vanilla Coconut Rice Pudding Ingredients: 2 cups of whole or 2% milk 1 vanilla bean, insides scraped out 1 1/2 cups of coconut milk pinch of salt 1 1/2 cups of cold cooked rice 1/3 cup of sugar Directions: Combine all the ingredients together in a saucepan and simmer over me...

Creamy Peach Pie

This creamy peach pie is SO light and fluffy. It really is the perfect low-cal dessert for summer. You could even chop up fresh peaches and put them in the pie for extra-peachy flavor! Creamy Peach Pie Ingredients: 1/4 cup water 1 0.3-oz package of sugar free peach Jell-o* 2 6-oz containers of peach yogurt (I used Yoplait Light) 1 8-oz tub fat free cool whip, thawed 1 pre-made graham cracker crust Directions: In a microwave-safe measuring cup, heat water for 45-90 seconds or until boiling. Whisk in Jell-o until dissolved. In a large bowl, whisk together Jell-o mixture and yogurt. Fold in whipped topping. Carefully spread in crust. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or until set. Garnish as desired - I topped mine with frozen peaches and whipped cream. Store in refrigerator. *I have never made this recipe using any other kind of Jell-o except for sugar free. I am not sure if it would work with regular Jell-o because the size of the packages are so much different.
