Impossible Coconut Pie for 1

Sweet little snack for 1! Great for portion control. I never had an Impossible Coconut Pie so I decided to go through my first batch of non picture posts and start testing those recipes out. One obstacle is finding a reasonable egg substitute. Some have very unorthodox egg measurements for a small batch recipe so I will have to figure that out. This was the first easy recipe I saw. Made with this 10 oz square ceramic . Enjoy! 

Ingredients: 

1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons flaked coconut
2 tablespoons applesauce (see notes)
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2-1/4 teaspoons margarine (see notes)
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Mix milk, coconut, eggs, vanilla, flour, margarine, and sugar in blender. 

3. Pour into a greased, single-serving custard dish. Sprinkle nutmeg on top. 

4. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

5. Allow to cool before eating. 

NOTES: 

Applesauce is the substitute for 1/2 an egg. Rather than trying to half an egg and wondering wtf to do with the other half, I opted for the applesauce sub. 

Never used margarine so I used salted butter because that is what I have. There's only tbsp measurements so to the skilled baker 3 teaspoons is equal to 1 tbsp so I cut into a butter stick just shy of 1 tbsp. Aim for 2/3 of a tbsp.

I accidentally stirred in the nutmeg rather than using as topping. Oversight on my part. 

I baked in the oven for 30 minutes then turned off oven and let it sit in there for 5 minutes.

Result? Despite the changes, I think it turned out wonderful! Next time I recommend baking the entire time if you don't want pudding texture (which I loved) Keep in mind that this is called a PIE. What I ate was no pie but it sure was yummy as hell.

Keto Stuffed Jalapeños for 1

Image
This is honestly my first time having stuffed jalapenos. In my 35 years of existence....I never! Shocker, I know! But I used up half a brick of cream cheese and I needed to hurry up and use the last half before it expired and I found it! Only need 1/4 of the brick, I ended up using the other 1/4 for cheese and crackers. Ingredients: 3 jalapenos (I used canned pickled jalapenos) 2 oz cream cheese (1/4 of a brick) 2 tbsp shredded cheese generous pinch of garlic powder generous pinch of onion powder 3 slices of bacon (thick recommended) salt and pepper to taste orange pepper as topping Directions: Slice stem off jalapeno and vertically slice jalapenos. Scoop out the innards. Should have 6 pieces. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper to a paste. Cut bacon in half to make 6 pieces. Fill each half with the cream cheese. Filling will be like playdough.  Wrap each of the 6 pieces with 1/2 slice of bacon. Set on parchment paper and

Mac and Cheese for 1

Image
Lovely side with some savory mac and cheese! Don't worry if you don't have the EXACT kind of cheese. Experiment! Half and half isn't necessary or you could make your own half and half if you have milk and heavy cream. I personally fried up some buffalo chicken wings to give my pasta a slight kick. You can too. Update: After making this recipe a few times, I feel it is more appropriate to include a recipe that truly fits a recipe for 1. The slightly bigger batch will immediately follow. Ingredients: 1/2 tbsp butter 1/2 tbsp flour 1/4 cup milk 1/4 cup half and half 1/16 tsp garlic powder 1/16 tsp mustard powder 3/4 cup shredded cheese 1/4 tsp hot sauce (optional) pinch of salt and pepper 2 oz of pasta (can vary slightly more if using a thicker noodle such as rotini) generous pinch of popcorn salt or french fry seasoing is optional for a boost of flavor Directions: 1. Melt butter in a small pot. In a separate pot, boil a small pot of water pouring in noodles once boiled. N
