Menu Plan Monday–coconut

It’s been a delight to see the coming of Spring, and I’m excited to post garden pictures very soon….but on to the food!

Angela has chosen coconut as this weeks’ ingredient.  I love coconut, especially young coconut. The water is just delicious and I blend the “meat’ into coconut milk.  Our local Whole foods carry it from time to time, and so do local Latino markets.  We even have a screwdriver in the kitchen for busting them open.   But I’ve also become enamored with coconut sugar (I’m currently out, though)  To celebrate Angela’s choice, I’ll be making a coconut Chai breakfast cake–good excuse, right?

Monday:

Quinoa Italiana with asparagus

Tuesday:

Beef curry with coconut and cauliflower

Weds:

Nightshade stew with fennel

Thursday:

Orange halibut with broccoli

Friday:

leftovers–our Friday standby

Baked creations:

  • Chai breakfast cake
  • fruit crisp (maybe)
  • bread (maybe, depending on time)

About Cheryl Harris

Life played a funny trick on me. I've studied nutrition for years, and much to my surprise, found out that I could manage many of my health issues via diet. I've been GF for years, and I've got a bunch of allergies and sensitivities. But it definitely doesn't keep me from cooking, baking and enjoying my food. Thanks for stopping by.

    I got your menu hooked up to the GF Swap. Your menu, as always, is great! Please, please, please share the Chai breakfast cake recipe. I swooned just from the thought of it! Mmmmm….

    Have a great week!

  3. I might have to try your quinoa recipe with the Lundberg gf couscous. I think the flavors would be great together.

    Quinoa Italiana sounds fabulous! I am bookmarking it for future consumption!

    And can’t we please, please, please have your coconut Chai breakfast cake recipe? (Were there ever 4 more tantalizing words than “coconut” “Chai” “breakfast” “cake”?? I’m dying here!)
