Recipe by Our Best Bites 12 chicken tenders (ya know, more or less...) 1-2 eggs (start with one and crack another if it runs out) 1/2 C flour 1 C sweetened coconut flakes 1 C panko bread crumbs 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder 3/4 tsp table salt 3/4 tsp curry powder 1/4 tsp onion powder 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (you can leave this out if you want to skip the spice for the kiddos) preheat oven to 450 degrees. Give coconut a rough chop so it's about the same size as the panko pieces. Combine it with Panko and spices in a shallow dish. Mix well to distribute all of the spices.

And then finally coat in the coconut Panko mixture. Press in with your fingers to make sure the entire thing is well coated. Place chicken tenders on a foil-lined baking sheet (for easy clean up!) that has been sprayed with non-st...

This recipe also makes the BEST cinnamon rolls! If you're like me and have had bad luck making yeast breads... this is the recipe for you !

First thing you  need is a mixer and a dough attachment. (If you have a Kitchen Aide...it's the one that looks like a hook!) Ingredients: 2 TBS yeast (or 2 of the 1/4 oz. packages) 1/3 cup sugar 1/3 cup warm water ( from the tap is fine...turn on the water and hold your finger under it. When it turns hot, that's the water you want to use!) 1/2 cup butter 2 cups milk 2 eggs 6-7 cups of flour. In your mixing bowl (the one attached to your mixer) add yeast, sugar and warm water. Let that sit. (If after a few minutes, this mixture doesn't start to bubble, then your yeast is bad.) In a medium bowl, pour milk. Microwave milk for 2 minutes. Remove fr...

By The Nourishing Gourmet Tried out by Brooke who says it is so good! 3 cups of unsweetened coconut milk (about two cans) 2/3 cup of cocoa powder 6 tablespoons agave syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Whisk cocoa powder in a small amount of coconut milk (they use Thai’s organic coconut milk, do not use lite), until smooth. Then add the rest of the ingredients (you can use whatever sweetener you like), (If you can have dairy, coconut milk and cream together make a wonderful ice cream) and whisk until well combined. Or dump all ingredients together and blend with a stick blender. Make according to your machines instructions. If you do not have an icecream maker, you can also make it in a bag- 1/2 cup salt (The bigger the granules, the better. Kosher or rock salt works best, but table salt is fine.)
