Easy No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Meat Pie

This meat pie is delicious! I got it from my husband's mother. She is French so I believe this is a French meat pie recipe. Beef, pork, and potato are all nicely spiced and baked together. It's yummy and pretty easy to make too! It's best served fresh, but you can also make it ahead and freeze or refrigerate it. Serve the pie by itself or with a beef gravy.

Dutch Boterkoek

This is a Dutch buttery bar cookie, baked in a round tin, and cut into wedges after baking. Instead of vanilla or lemon zest, you can flavor these with 4 ounces of ground almonds.

Mushroom Stir-Fry

This mushroom stir-fry features a medley of mushrooms: shiitakes for meaty texture and earthy flavor, and beech and enoki mushrooms for visual appeal and textural interest. Who needs meat? The recipe makes just enough sauce to coat the vegetables, but feel free to double the sauce ingredients if you'd like extra to serve over rice or noodles.

Coconut Cream Pie

A rich and smooth coconut cream pie. It takes a half hour to make, but is well worth the effort! Top with whipped cream and toasted coconut, if desired.

Loaded Beef Nachos

I’ve made many, many plates of loaded nachos before settling on this version. Many variations are possible, and I have personally made them vegetarian, turkey, and beef. I load them with sour cream, salsa, sliced olives, jalapenos, and chopped green onion, but all these toppings are optional - use what you like.
