Coconut, Pineapple & other stuff

[crazycanuck]

I'm doing my best to eliminate gunk from my diet & am doing well so far :D.

I purchased a nice coconut yesterday & would like to make a shake with it..What goes well with coconut milk?

Also, a nice pineapple ventured into my basket & am searching for cool recipes.

A bit more info..I'm in the process of eliminating Gluten & dairy from my diet (Dairy just goes through me)....Why you ask..I have been doing some reading/listening & found the following info...

What goes good with coconut and pineapple, you ask? Rum, of course! ;)

I think CC is trying to eat healthy. :rolleyes:

So make sure it's a health portion of rum :cool: and some icecubes to make a nice frosty beverage. ;):D

I'm enjoying fresh apricots, blueberries, raspberries right now.

Back to CC's question. How about with some yogurt? Oh, never mind, that's a dairy. But I like pina collada yogurt.

If you have an ice cream freezer, coconut makes AMAZING ice cream. Add some fruit purée, matcha powder or concentrated brewed green tea, and a bit of simple syrup or honey. You could do a virgin piña colada ice cream!

But I forget ... it's not necessarily ice cream season where you are. :p

I'm not a fan of rum but i do like gin...Ice cream's not really my thing...I could be tempted to eat something funky though!

I want to add plums n peaches but they're not in season here in Australia...I had some yummy ones when we were on holiday in NZ the other week...mmm...

I've rediscovered Nashi Pears..mmmmmm...mmmmm...
