Overnight Coconut Mango Chia Pudding

June 10, 2015 by kim Leave a Comment

Summer is among us, which means there’s plenty of fruit to be consumed! More fruit equals more summer recipes. My personal favorites are watermelon and mango.

Just in case you can’t get your fix of fruit, you can always drink the flavors through Sparkling ICE. It’s certainly “The Bold Side of Water.”

They come in seventeen different flavors, from Black Raspberry to Coconut Pineapple. My personal favorite would have to be Orange Mango (for obvious reasons.. mango!). No matter what your favorite fruit is, there is something out there for everyone.

There’s a light fizz to every sip, perfect of those who crave the carbonation without the calories. That’s right, there’s ZERO calories in every drink! You don’t have to worry about losing your summer bod.

Sparkling ICE is actually giving fans a chance to win a year’s supply by competing against each other in the Flavor Face Off fan contest (No Purchase Necessary). In addition, you could get your face on a bottle, along with daily and weekly prizes. To register or to find Sparkling ICE near you visit sparklingice.com I get my bottles at Target!

As for the overnight coconut mango chia seed pudding, it surely is a beauty. Can you imagine diving in with a huge spoon? I loved using coconut milk and mixing it with fresh mangoes. I saved some for decorating on top, but let’s be real here…. the more mangoes, the better. The chia seed consistency is definitely an acquired taste and I’m still working on getting my taste buds there.

Recipe from Ifoodreal.

Chewy Coconut White Chocolate Chip Cookies

April 2, 2015 by kim Leave a Comment

My DH has a problem… an Amiibo addiction. Do you know what those things are? They’re little figurines that Nintendo created for the Wii. Problem is, my DH just collects them. He doesn’t care much for actually playing with them.

I guess there could be worse things that he’s into, but man, Nintendo created some monsters! They’re so good at it, too. I don’t get the appeal over these things.

What I do get, however, is chewy cookies! White chocolate and coconut go so well together.

These cookies are about as soft as it gets. Just look at the inside!:

Recipe slightly adapted from Tracey’s Culinary Adventures (the only thing I did differently was omit the coconut extract since I didn’t have any on hand and increase the amount of white chocolate chips).

1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Coconut Walnut Blondies with Toffee

October 25, 2014 by kim 6 Comments

I just switched hosting sites over the past week and finally have it all sorted out (I think). Apparently, my email was down for two to three days and I had no idea until I got a call from one of the people that I was working with. If you emailed me and it bounced back to you, I never got your email! So sorry! It works now and you can resend it if you’d like.

There’s a lot that can go wrong when you’re dealing with your domain, host, and email. Not only that, but it’s extremely stressful when something doesn’t work! Thanks goodness for Google. I was able how to figure out how to fix the problem on my own after a couple of Google searches and a lot of yelling at my computer.

After all of that, there is one thing that I learned. Stay away from GoDaddy! They’re a terrible hosting site and constantly blame WordPress/the internet for your problems when it’s really on their end. Stay away.

On another note, I’ve had crazy baby fever this past week. How can you not after watching videos like this?

I don’t bake with coconut often, mostly because the DH doesn’t like it. Every now and then, though, I find a bag of coconut leftover from making Everything Cookies and go on the hunt to make something with them. Enter: Coconut walnut blondies with toffee.

They were gooey with crispy edges and tasted the best warm. I can imagine a scoop of ice cream on top, melting into a puddle around the bottom of the bar. Yum! Recipe from Picture Perfect Meals.

Coconut Walnut Blondie with Toffee

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1-1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
½ cup sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
1 cup toffee bits
1-1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9-x-13-x-2 baking pan.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In another bowl, combine the butter and sugars until creamy. Add in the vanilla and eggs.
Switch to a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula and stir in the dry ingredients until well-blended.
Fold in the nuts, toffee and coconut until nicely mixed. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Place the pan on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake until the top is nicely golden brown, 40 minutes.
Cool in pan before cutting into squares.
