I am not going to participate this week, but I am curious about what you are all going to cook with coconut (last time I had coconut was probably 10 years ago)

[Nessa 23]

Anyways, no pics here, but hubster loved it. It was a coconut flan.

recipe:

1 Liter milk

5 tbsp corn starch

200 ml coconut milk

100 g coconut flakes

1 can sweet condensed milk

Mix half the coconut milk with the coconut flakes and let it sit. In a low heat pot stir non stop until it thickens, the rest of the coconut milk, the milk, corn starch and sweet condensed milk.

Turn the heat off and add the coconut flakes.

refrigerate for at least 4 hours (a 9x9 is perfect).

vouila!

Bacon Wrapped Chicken Recipe

12 boneless skinless chicken breasts halves

2 (8 oz) cartons chive and onion cream cheese

12 slices of bacon

salt (to taste)

2 tablespoons butter

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Between 2 sheets of wax paper with a mallet flatten chicken breasts to ½” thickness.

Step 2: Spread 3 tablespoons of cream cheese over each chicken breast. Then Dot with butter and season with salt. Wrap with bacon and stick a toothpick through the rolled chicken breast to hold it together. Roll up and stick a toothpick through to hold it together.

Step 3: Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes (or until juices run clear).

Step 4: Turn on the broiler and broil six inches from the heat for 5 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.

* Try and pound the chicken breasts down with a mallet as thinly as possible because they will roll up a lot easier. If you want to do some outdoor grilling these can also be grilled as well. They go great with a side dish of pasta or flavored rice.

there are pictures on the link...

probably not something you would want to make all the time..... but nice for a treat once in awhile....

[Nessa 23]

bacon it is then.

[VisaJourneyLady 33]

That's a good idea, since I have to have some nice good proper bacon before I leave the UK, and i'm stuck with only the super crispy stuff that you guys have.

[Ms. Squirrel 11]

Viva el bacon!

[Nessa 23]

I've already decided what to do: bife a rolê - stuffed beef rolls. which is thin beef slices rolled with bacon and other seasoning.

[Ms. Squirrel 11]

Yum yum yum, Nessa!!!

I am making dates, stuffed with roquefort, rolled up in bacon, fried in oilve oil. It tastes so good!!
