Coconut Chocolate Ice Cream
How much do you love ice cream, chocolate ice cream but cannot eat dairy? I do, I love chocolate and ice cream ... and it is probably better for me to not have dairy. Coconut milk is a great alternative to dairy, it's rich, creamy and velvety when made into an ice cream!

It may look like a daunting task, difficult and completely unnecessary, considering the fact that you can purchase any kind of candy imaginable at most corner stores.
Coconut Mango Rice Pilaf

Pavlova and Berry Compote
How about a crispy meringue layer cake, stuffed with blackberry and dried cherry compote and gussied up with coconut whipped cream? It could be sanctioned, if you either left off the coconut whipped cream or seriously limited it ... your choice! Either way ~ it's a gorgeous cake with lots of great flavor and fun, won't last long!
Tropical Fruit Salad
Tropical Fruit Salad is a great way to enjoy the sweetness of fruit and have a beautiful dessert after a perfectly sanctioned meal!

It’s been pretty hot out lately — high 80’s – 90’s — full of humidity with afternoon thunderstorms! Reminds me of Florida and Texas.
And, when […]
Smoked Gumbo Cake
Do you like crab cakes? I do, they are one of my favorite things to eat out in a 'good' seafood restaurant. I have to admit, more often than not I am disappointed with the offerings, I usually find the crab cakes too expensive and not enough substance for my money.
