COCONUT & LEMON WAFFLES WITH BASIL CHIFFONADE

Today I Made:

COCONUT & LEMON WAFFLES WITH BASIL CHIFFONADE for BREAKFAST.

Recipe from ***The GirlieGirl Army***.

Whole wheat pastry flour, coconut milk, lemon zest, and the basil, make these waffles stand out in a crowd.

They taste very tropical.

You almost feel like you are laying on a sandy beach in Hawaii.

They are easy to make, since most of us have the ingredients readily available in our pantries.

I recommended topping them with chopped almonds and maple syrup.

LIME COCONUT CAKE WITH LIME COCONUT BUTTAHCREEM ICING

Last Thursday I Made:

LIME COCONUT CAKE WITH LIME COCONUT BUTTAHCREEM ICING for DESSERT.

Recipe from GET IT RIPE by JAE STEELE.

Spelt flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, coconut oil, and lime cake frosted with a super tangy lime coconut icing and decorated with thin slices of organic lime.

I was a little nervous about making this recipe since it would be my first time using spelt flour and coconut oil.

But, it turned AWESOME!!!

It was actually THE best cake I have ever made.

Most importantly, my husband LOVED it!

TOFU COCONUT CREAM PIE

Yesterday I Made:

TOFU COCONUT CREAM PIE for DESSERT.

Recipe from DeliciousTV.com.

Coconut milk, shredded sweetened coconut, firm tofu, in a sweet graham cracker crust.

This is my husband's all-time favorite DESSERT.

So, when he requested it last week, I quickly put it on THIS week's menu.

Ask and you shall receive.

The secret to making this recipe is to use regular old fashioned sweetened coconut.

The one that comes in the blue bag.

Another favorite drink:
