    Toasted Coconut Mocha Slushie

    I told you during my Daily Things yesterday that I’m going to try to celebrate the end of summer a little more and appreciate it while it still lasts.  So even though I can’t get pictures of tall boots, scarves, pumpkins, and orange leaves out of my mind, I’m going to focus on the fact…

  • 100 Calorie Matcha Coconut Slushie

    Happy July 1st, folks!  I planned to do my final recap of my June Salad-a-Day Challenge today and post a salad recipe.  But I got home hot and thirsty and in need of a pre-dinner snack, so I whipped up this smoothie (the third day in a row I’ve made it) and decided the hot…

  • Strawberry Coconut Ice Cream

      Alright, I have a second dessert post in a row for you. I have three wonderful savory recipes that I’ve been trying to get up, but I keep running into seriously stupid road blocks.  Mostly because I’m being way slow this week.    It’s my last week at work before I start my new…

  • Coconut Chocolate Almond Cookies

    I owed a friend of mine a batch of cookies (LONG overdue since this was a thank you batch of cookies for helping move all my stuff into my apartment…in October!) Whipping up a batch of cookies is fairly easy for me.  Then he had the nerve to go Paleo on me!  So I looked…

  • Coconut Water Iced Tea

    Meet your go-to summer drink!  I did some major kitchen re-organizing this weekend and ran across my cold-brew iced tea bags from last summer.  Nice timing!  But when I went to my fridge to fill up my pitcher with water, I saw coconut water sitting right next to it.  Hmmmmmm.  A wonderful impulsive creation resulted! …

  • Chocolate Coconut Breakfast Truffles

    Breakfast truffles are one of my favorite things.  Dessert you can guilt-less-ly eat for breakfast.  I make these delicious raw energy bites to eat in the morning before a workout.  I’ve made all kinds of yummy flavors.   This is an extra-special breakfast truffle recipe because I made it with my wonderful friend Maria –…

  • Maple Pecan Coconut Ice Cream

    I did something really exciting on Saturday: my first double-digit run! 10 miles 🙂  Making progress on my half-marathon training!  It was all gorgeous and spring-like out in the morning too, such a perfect day for a long run. 

  • Coconut Water Mocha: Hangover Kryptonite

    Overindulge last night?  Enjoy this yummy concoction to help revive you.  Coconut water will rehydrate you, replenish your electrolytes and minerals, something else . . . Coffee.  Well, we know what that does – wakes you up!  Okay, it’s also going to dehydrate you, which you don’t need.  But I know you don’t care.  You…

  • Green Tropical Coconut Smoothie

    Okay, now it’s time for one of those green-juice-drinking healthy resolution recipes.  One of my resolutions is to drink green juice more!  Lots more.   So the other day I juiced a bag of greens with a few stalks of celery.  A very plain but shockingly green juice.  I mixed the first serving of it with…

  • Salted Coconut Caramel Dip

    She’s back in the kitchen!  Watch out, appliances – gonna take a lot more than that to keep me down! . . . Wait, please don’t take that as a challenge!  Have mercy on me, kitchen gods.  Please. I thought of something fantastic to do yesterday to make my kitchen a little cheerier upon my…
