Coconut is a miracle plant. Not only do I use coconut oil in my skin care products, I also like cooking with coconut milk.

Coconuts have a great nutritional profile and contain Vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6. They also contain iron, selenium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. In addition they are a rich source of fiber.

In cooking, I usually opt for the Trader Joe’s light version for 2 reasons:

  1.  It has a lot less unnecessary fat
  2. The can is BPA-free. Remember, BPA LOVES fat (even reduced fat).

When I was recently at a restaurant in Laguna Beach I enjoyed a simple coconut rice. However in my version I added some veggies and a dash of nutmeg to make it more satisfying.

ENJOY!

I prefer savory to sweet but really enjoy the combination of both together in a dish. I promise that you will not even miss the cheese in this delightful dinner.

If you are not a fan of butternut squash try any other vegan ravioli or plain pasta.

I highly recommend Rising Moon Butternut Squash and Cool Foods Vegi Bacon. ENJOY!

I have been experimenting with creating a creamy and delicious mac and cheese sauce and after a dozen attempts I finally think I nailed it!

This is a hearty dinner and makes enough to serve 8 average servings or 6 large servings. It also heats up great the next day for leftovers. I would recommend adding a bit more non-dairy milk to keep it creamy.

In this recipe I used Ripple Original, Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk. Any non-dairy option would work but this is preferred because it is super rich tasting.

ENJOY!
