I have found that one of my newest favorite ingredients right now is coconut milk. After hearing the great reviews on how coconut fat helps your health I started using it more. I am loving it, and my family is enjoying it too.

I actually pulled the mint out of my backyard “garden”. If you are looking for a plant that just won’t die try mint. You can even start a leaf in a cup of water. I’m known for killing plants but my mint is spreading and thriving like a weed!

Healthy Mom = Healthy Family - That is my life motto and I hope to encourage it to be yours too. January 2011 I made the decision to lose weight and lost 80+ pounds. I saw my boys start getting active with me and I realized I wasn't only changing my life but also my boys.

    Looks like a yummy recipe. Where do you buy lite coconut milk? Sometimes the stores will have coconut water with added sweetner.
