Oh how interesting! Maybe it depends on the brand you use? The coconut oil I use is completely tasteless. I wouldn't mind the coconut flavor in baked goods though.

Coconut MILK, on the other hand, has that flavor... which yanno is what went wrong with my smashed taters, lol.... I learned in a hurry to use almond milk with savory items.

Mashed sweet potatoes and coconut milk = fabulous.

I concur. Especially when topped with honey roasted pecans.

Bit: I dunno if I ever told you, but I learned to make biscuits trying to find a good recipe to send you buttermilk biscuits. By the time I finally found one, you had a girlfriend, lol....


I had a girlfriend?

Huh??

But...but...I still had no buttermilk bisquits!!

Oh lord this will surely amuse my ex if she ever reads this. Cant think of one time that she baked! LOL. Too funny.

So deprived...not one home baked buttermilk bisquit in years and years and I cant remember how long its been. *sigh*

LOL

I love all tacos including fish! I'll have to make some so Zimmeh can try them. I usually use Gortons seasoned breaded fish. I like a slaw on mine with tartar sauce, cheese, and good red hot sauce.

What about breakfast beverages?

*sipping a big cup of Italian roast coffee*

Breakfast is probably my fav meal to eat and cook. chorizo, over easy eggs, omelettes usually with diced onions, jalapenos, tomatoes and cheese. I also like hasbrowns or diced potatoes with these veggies too. bacon is my fav breakfast meat! biscuits and gravy with sausage, breakfast sammiches on any type of bread, cinnamon rolls, pancakes ( my fav are chocolate and banana ) I'm a fan of Dark Roast coffee mostly French or Espresso, and just black. This is the typical stuff I eat for breakfast.

Another beverage / meal I have sometimes for breakfast or lunch is a Visalus protein shake and I usually just have it with non fat milk berries or peaches. There is several other recipes for protein powder if anyone uses it I can post a link of these recipes.

My fav Thanksgiving dishes are turkey of course, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie! This year we'll be spending it with some friends from the BFP site and I think they have requested I bring some of my red chile enchiladas.

I know this isn't exactly high cuisine, but sometimes I miss carne asada fries. guilty pleasure. With LOTS of guacamole. Football is not required.

Don't I know it!

This might be a silly question, but I've had Cuban cuisine and I was in heaven. Is that related to Puerto Rican in any way?

I am not a coconut fan. My mom and I ate the cupcakes and I could taste a faint flavor of coconut. I don't know what brand she used. The hint was enough for me and surprisingly tasty!
