Coconut/8 recipes

.

A cranberry orange quick-bread made with coconut flour.

Love the almonds, pecans, and pumpkin seeds in my granola, and this recipe has its all. Plus maple syrup is my favourite go-to sweeter as well. I usually use dried apricots and mangos instead of raisins. Serve it with plain yogurt and fresh berries if they are seasonal. So yummy!

It's the season of Swiss chard and kale. We got lots of these fresh leafy greens from our CSA farm, and I was trying to come out an idea to use them up, surfing the internet, found a recipe in New York Times, it's a chard and feta phyllo tart. Definitely got the inspiration, I used both chard and kale, instead of feta, I used cheddar; and I sauteed some fresh mushrooms and added some toasted pine nuts, which worked very well. Also, I used a pie plate instead of a tart pan, and it was a great success, absolutely flavorful and delicious. The phyllo crust came out flaky and crispy. Have definitely become one of my signature recipes :)

Cranberry Coconut Muffins recipe

This was the best pie that I have ever made and I have made quite a few. It taste like the most decadent dessert ever.

Nothing is quicker and easier than a Chinese stir-fry, agreed?! This dish took me less than half an hour to make, and it tasted wonderfully delicious. Served it over a bed of rice, and our dinner was served with tons of goodness and yumminess.

These cherry cream cheese bars were divine. The cream cheese added the rich creaminess; I made my own cherry pie filling, which was packed with cherry flavour and not super sweet, also did a few changes to make these bars healthier (see the linked recipe below) but still decadent.

Make your pasta dishes seem authentic with this spaghetti sauce made of Italian sausage, tomatoes and a variety of spices.

I customized the crunchy chocolate peanut butter bars into this recipe by adding some toasted oats, wheat germ and coconut flakes. They were super crunchy an delicious.

I used very little green bell pepper (only had a half pepper on hand), but added frozen peas and sliced fresh mushrooms instead. I also ad libbed a little more by spicing it up with a good pinch of my homemade garam masala. Delicious.

This prosciutto, fontina and sun-dried tomato tart was brilliant. The combination of these three ingredients and the buttery-crispy puff pastry was absolutely delicious!

Yellow colored coconut flakes make these Easter chicks cupcakes look fluffy and cute, this is a great recipe to make with your kids, they will love these cutest chick cupcakes!

A childhood classic that everyone loves. Quick and easy no-bake one pot chocolate with oats and coconut.

These decadent cherry cream cheese bars will well satisfy your cravings for something rich and sweet. They are made with whole wheat flour, light cream cheese, homemade cherry pie filling, a small amount of butter and some olive oil. Much healthier but still tastes delicious. Nobody can resist these sweets, the more importantly you don't have to feel guilty about it.
