For years I made hard-cooked eggs by putting them in water and when they started to boil I would time them for 10 minutes. I recently received an electric egg cooker as a gift. It is so easy and convienent to use. I can now make hard-cooked eggs, soft-cooked eggs and poached eggs perfectly every time. It beeps to let you know when the eggs are cooked. I thank the person or persons who developed this wonderful cooking tool.
Last night we had a dinner party for 12 people. For appetizers we had cubed cheese, ring bologna and prosciutto pockets along with the adult beverages. For dinner we served pierogis, stuffed cabbage rolls and baked kielbasa. For dessert we served we served pumpkin cheese pie. The dinner was a great success with everyone having an enjoyable evening. With the exception on the baked kielbasa, these recipes can be found on the web site.
This is all new to me. I have never posted a blog before. I want to share with you a recipe that I have devised. I have made this recipe several times for company and have had requests to share the recipe. I feel that there must be other people who love coconut as much as I do. This is a very light and fluffy dessert. I hope you will enjoy this dessert.
