The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, & I am dreaming of going somewhere tropical and having a cabana boy serve me coconut mixed drinks. Sadly, I will have to make do with trying out fun coconut recipes and looking at pictures of white sandy beaches. To help get me out of my getaway funk, I wanted to create a recipe that combined two of my favorite flavors – Coconut and blueberry. The tartness of the blueberries combined with the sweet, creaminess of the coconut is delicious. Serve with champagne and enjoy! I hope you enjoy this cake as…

Continue ReadingI won’t lie. Carrot Ginger soup always sounded gross to me, right up there with Butternut squash soup. There are just some things that should not be soup. Could not have been more wrong! I recently tried Carrot Ginger soup at a B&B and was blown away by how delicious it was. The sweetness of the carrots & coconut milk with the zestiness of ginger really put this soup over the edge. I felt so inspired I wanted to try it myself! I was shocked to see how easy it was to make. This soup is so simple in its…
