Coconut Chicken Fingers with Chilli Sauce

Coconut Chicken Fingers with Chilli Sauce

Ah. Homemade Coconut Chicken Fingers. Ya got to love them. First, plain and boring or secondly with a little chili sauce and perhaps some cajan spice and you are on your way to a little blitz in heaven. Two problems here though. I am not a fan of the first kind and this recipe has nothing to do with a scrumptious dipping sauce. A nice addition, yes, but not a main part of this dish. Or is it? What's in the dish? coconuts coconut milk coconut oil (get the feeling that there is lots of coconuts? Ya, there is!) chicken cayenne pepper and more! I wish I could just chalk it up to the

Chicken Bordeaux

Ok. I admit. there is nothing in the world quite like making the perfect meal. I mean nothing. Not even making the perfect meal. Is there such a thing? I admit. I am such a home cook. And as a home cook who just happens to be taking photos of the meals that I prepare and serve, I want everything to be perfect. From the prep, to the actual cooking, to the layout of the food for a photo or two, and then finally on the table for my family. The reward? This is THE BEST!!!! The best what? Do I ever hear those words? My five year old often says something like: Yuck. I am not eating that! I want

Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Risotto

Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Risotto

  There are some meals that are made for loving and I got to admit, this is one of them: apple cinnamon breakfast risotto. I don't remember the occasion, or the year for that matter, but what I do remember is sitting down at the breakfast table and the feeling one gets the moment they put a fork to their mouth and flavor fills the tastebuds. Our brains are funny that way. This is the food memories are made with! I stopped at a bed and breakfast for the night and the host just happened to agree to allow me to film her cooking this delicious apple recipe. Wow. Just

Cheesy BBQ Melt Burger Recipes

Cheesy BBQ Melt Burger Recipes

This fantastic burger recipe ups the ante when it comes to great burger recipes. There is only one method to cook this style of burger and that is on the BBQ.

As it goes through the bbq process, the cheese melts in the middle and the trick is to make sure that it does not ooze out while cooking. Another great thing here is that you mix raw bacon rather than bacon bits so while the burger is being grilled, the
