Coconut Snowballs

February 3, 2014 by Melissa

I'm sure I had something inspiring to say about these Coconut Snowballs.  How they're so cute. How they aren't overly sweet, but just sweet enough, like me. (Sorry, yeah I shouldn't have said that but I couldn't help it.) But I'm distracted. I'll be honest, I'm watching the Super Bowl. And I'm sick to my stomach. This is just embarrassing. You know how I feel about the Super Bowl … [Read more...]

Coconut Lime Refresher

November 6, 2013 by Melissa

Ok, so it may not seem like "coconut lime season," but trust me, it is.  This is a drink. Not a smoothie.  A green drink. That doesn't taste like grass. Promise. Lime. Coconut. Banana. I've been hooked on this combo. I've been drinking this drink, like, twice a day. That's a big commitment.  I think it's important to have that go-to special drink that keeps you … [Read more...]

Plantains (Cinnamon Coconut)

June 18, 2013 by Melissa

I’ve recently become addicted to plantains. I had tried them once, years ago. I was at a very cool Cuban restaurant with some girlfriends before a bachelorette party (woohoo!) and I had short ribs on plantains! Holy mackeral. Sweet Jesus. It was ahhmazing! Oh, and then I had them again on a nice date my fiancé took me on, and I ordered the duo of steak tartar and tuna tartar with plantain … [Read more...]
