To enjoy this cookie you need to be a chocolate and coconut lover. This is a three layer cookie; brownie-like bottom, coconut cream center and a chocolate crumble topping. All the layers need to be prepped in advanced and chilled. I made all three layers in one day and then baked the following day. A…

Glenorchy Flapjacks
Dorie describes these as “your favorite chewy oatmeal cookie or the energy bar of your dreams”. My mother-in-law saw the picture of these and thought they looked delicious so of course I made them for her when she came for dinner. I was lucky that I had all the ingredients for this one including the…
Coconut Patties
I have managed to bake on time for our group but posting on time is proving problematic:) I was happy when these came up for a vote as I had unsweetened coconut sitting around. I also new these wouldn’t be too popular as my family is not coconut lovers. For my citrus flavor I used…

Blondies
Tuesdays with Dorie This blond version of a brownie includes pecans, milk chocolate and coconut. Dorie provides various ways to prepare these; the original recipe calls for a mini muffin tin but I decided to go the easy route and make bars. The top is a little crispy and the center is moist and chewy….

French Fridays Coconut-Lemongrass-Braised Pork
I recently had some extra coconut milk leftover and I remembered that Around My French Table had at least one recipe with coconut milk. I decided on this Coconut-Lemongrass-Braised Pork. I substituted pork chops for pork butt since I was making half a recipe. I served this with the optional ingredients of carrots, potatoes and onions….
