New Cover Reveal and #Recipe for Coconut Lime Cake by @LibbyKlein #Holiday #Dessert #Thanksgiving #Christmas
Libby Klein I've been obsessed with the Great British Baking Show lately. I've been sick so I've been binge watching Netflix to distract myself. I'm gutted every time my favorite baker is booted from the tent. I even got all the books from the library so I could see the recipes. This is from one of the show cookbooks, but a baker is never given credit for the bake. The original recipe is for

Hayley Snow’s Corn Pudding for Thanksgiving or Any Time a Roast Chicken Appears
LUCY BURDETTE: I imagine that a dish like this might have been one of the first things Hayley made for Nathan when their relationship was new. It’s exactly the kind of homestyle food he loves, and now he requests it for Thanksgiving as well as any time Hayley roasts a chicken. It’s a little sweet, and very corny, and not at all challenging for fussy palates. It would be perfect for your
