Cook Creative in the Kitchen

Creativity begins with health! We take things in the kitchen from time to time and wanted to share one of our latest discoveries about the holy coconut.

Did you know that it is really easy to make coconut milk?

• 1 part unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 parts of nearly boiling water
• Put in blender for 10 seconds
• Pour the coconut in a towel or cheese cloth and squeeze! Fresh, warm coconut milk!

It's a sweet treat rich in fiber, nutrients and minerals. Plus, coconut has anti-viral and anti-fungal properties and is the closest match to a mothers milk! Momma! You can find some information on the benefits of coconut here.

From shredded coconut, to milk, to oil, to flour. There are so many ways to use this plant. In fact, if you try this recipe and wonder what to do with the leftover coconut after you squeeze all the milk out, dry it out in an oven on a low temp, plop it in a food processor and you have coconut flour!  Coconut flour is glutten free and sugar free.

And this includes our very important message to remind you to drink to your health!
