October/November 2014 Recipes

This month’s selection of recipes includes a delicious cuban sandwich (the one that made all of us salivate while watching the Chef movie) and the eye-catching Sunflower-shaped bread with a spinach & cheese filling.  As usual, I have included easier recipes for the less experienced cooks and more complicated recipes for the advanced cooks.  There is something for everyone – whether you are following a low carb or high carb lifestyle!  The Coconut & Almond Chocolate is virtually sugar-free and the Milk Jelly pudding can be adapted by using less sugar or a sugar alternative.  The Home-made Chocolate Covered Coconut Bars are outright decadent!  I have been testing recipes with buttermilk during the past few weeks and decided to include a few of my favorite recipes in this month’s selection of recipes.  Be sure to try them all!

Also see the recipes for Luxurious Scones, Deluxe Fruit, Nut & Seed Whole-wheat Rusks, American Corn Bread, Beer Bread as well as the Best-Ever Buttermilk Rusk recipe and the Quick Buttermilk pastry used in the Roast Vegetable & Cheese Slice recipes below for recipes that uses buttermilk.
