DIY Coconut Milk

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

I can’t wait to try this milk. I make almond milk often in my Blendtec (actually my 6yo is in charge of the ‘milk’).

I strain my almond milk with two layers of cheese cloth and it really takes out the pulp. I’ll do this with my coconut too.

Thanks for the recipe.

What a great idea! A fine mesh paint strainer bag? Really? Is that food safe? How would you find out? I wondered about just that recently when I accompanied my husband to Miller Paint – I was in the throes of yogurt making, and casting about for something to strain my yogurt with (settled on a gold coffee filter, ultimately). Do you suppose it is possible to process this in a Cuisinart? I know, I’m just full of questions, but this is just so doggone intriguing! I love the idea of having pantry alternatives.
