Yummies...

I'm totally coconuts for coconuts right now!! I've been researching natural healing techniques for over a year now and have recently discovered the power of coconuts! It's a magical fruit and has so many health benefits for skin, digestion, energy, and balancing your mood. I've been cooking alot with coconut oil and continue to discover new products to use everyday. Sorry, this is starting to sound like an ad but trust me it comes from the heart. :) Anyways, I've yet to post many findings on food and I love to cook so maybe every now and then I'll share a recipe.

Today I combined some recipes I found in a book on Cooking with Coconuts and Stevia... I've altered my diet a bunch in the past year and I'm ultimately leaning toward the Vegan side of things...I'm taking my time...I've stopped eating dairy, except for every once in a while- holidays kill me...Now I'm slowly limiting any meat in my diet and any overly processed products...I'm sure I'll still have a little of each again in the future- I love food and trying new resturants so I can't imagine religiously sticking to any particularly strict diet...soooo- enough ramblin, the recipe today was so simple and delicious!!



Quinoa Cake with Rhubarb and Coconut Spread

This was so easy and can be made with any fruit you like and Quinoa or Couscous.

First, I added a cup of Quinoa to a boiling pot of 2cups water, dash of salt, teaspoon Stevia powder tablespoon lemon juice.
After the Quinoa is cooked, place in at the bottom of a dish and sit aside.

And now for the Fruit Spread...
You can use any fruits you like, I chose:

1 cup chopped Rhubarb
1/2 cup Raisons
1/2 cup Raspberries
1/2 cup Coconut milk
Dash of Cinnamon
3 to 4 packets Stevia Powder

Saute ingredients in a tablespoon of coconut oil for about 7 min...
Add Fruit Spread to the set Quinoa, top with Coconut flakes and chill for about an hour...Enjoy!!
