Nam Miner, Kelly Ivie, Manal Hall and me.
We have a pretty great gig as a Relief Society Presidency (Manal has since moved). Nam has a passion for cooking, health, and nurturing and loving through food. I can't count the number of times we have been fed (green juice, banana bread, tarts, chocolate mousse, homemade macaroons, homemade hot chocolate, apple tarts, Vietnamese Pho soup, cauliflower soup, egg rolls, salads, rice puddings, and many more).
Tonight, Bronwyn wanted to cook Nam's chocolate cupcakes with the coconut cream ganache. I was at a baseball game and she couldn't find it in her cookbook (she copied some of our favorite recipes and has started her own cookbook). It took me quite awhile to hunt down the recipe in my email. I thought it was time to post some of them in an easy access place.
