I donโt procrastinate when it comes to most things, but I do when it comes to getting groceries. Even with the procrastination, I go to the store at least 3 times a week. After not going to the store a few days and running out of almost everything in the pantry, I finally broke down and went. I have to become resourceful when I donโt want to trek to the grocery store. And, I come up with great substitutions!
Caramel Coconut Cream Bread Pudding
Iโve learned to make substitutions in recipes because I want to put off shopping for another day. First, I discovered you can substitute almond milk for milk in most recipes. Then I discovered you can substitute coffee creamer in recipes. I know right? How cool is that?!
I substituted Caramel & Coconut flavor coffee cream and made a Caramel Coconut Cream Bread Pudding! This bread pudding is dense and moist. A wonderful caramel coconut flavor is evident throughout. The top of this bread pudding is golden brown and crispy while the inside is buttery, soft and melts in your mouth!
Do you want to know what I did next to make it even better? I sprinkled flaked coconut and chopped pecans on top and drizzled a waterfall of caramel sauce over it all!
Cooking Hacks
In addition to using coffee creamer instead of milk in my bread pudding recipe, I want to share more cooking hacks with you.
2. You can also use a cookie cutter for a fun pancake design. Using the method above, squeeze the batter 1/4 inch thick into the center of a cookie cutter. Youโll want to spray the inside of the cookie cutter with non-stick spray first. Let the batter cook until brown and firm, remove the cookie cutter and flip the pancake. Continue cooking until the second side is golden brown.

4. Did you also forget to set the eggs out to come to room temperature? Add 1 and 1/2 cup water to a bowl. Heat the water in the microwave for 1 minute. Remove the bowl and place eggs in water. Allow the eggs to set in the water for 5 minutes. Booyah! Room temperature eggs!

Using a dryer sheet in books and photo albums to keep them smelling fresh!
When I bake a sheet cake or brownies, I cut them into squares, wrap each one and freeze them. When ready for a treat, thaw, frost and enjoy.
great idea!

One of my fav food life hacks is not cooking my lasagna noodles prior to making my lasagna. I don’t buy those thin, horrible, no-baking needed type of noodles either! I buy regular lasagna noodles. If your sauce is thin enough, which mine always is by practice, you don’t have to cook your noodles. I have not done it in years! I just make sure there is plenty of sauce and cheese, cook the lasagna for an hour, and then let it set for another 20-30 minutes and it always turns out great!
I’m craving lasagna now!
