Recipes / Easy Coconut Milk Method
« on: June 03, 2014, 03:22:08 PM »
Making fresh coconut milk doesn't have to be dangerous or tedious. The secret to getting the husk off the coconut meat is to bake the coconut in the oven for 10-15 minutes. The heat will cause the meat to expand which will crack the shell. When the meat shrinks it will come off the shell easily. No special coconut tools, no power tools!

From there you simply blend up the coconut water and meat with a cup or two of water. Then strain through a nut milk bag. Only takes 15 minutes worth of work once you take the coconut out of the oven.

Recipes / Mango Vinaigrette Salad Dressing
« on: April 18, 2014, 02:21:24 PM »



1/4 cup rice wine vinegar, 1/8 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice and 1 cup of diced mango.

Peel your mangos and cut all of the pulp away from the seed. My mangos were extremely ripe so I was able to just scrape the pulp off. Add your mango pulp, orange juice, rice wine vinegar, and olive oil together and blend until smooth. Then add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. You may add sugar if you find that the mango and orange were not sweet enough.

Recipes / Pineapple & Grapefruit Juice
« on: April 13, 2014, 05:24:51 PM »
Well, this isn't much of a recipe as I'm sure we all know how to make fruit juice. Thought I'd share the juice I made today in any case! I got a nice medium sized pineapple from the market today as well as a giant grapefruit. The pineapple was pretty standard, just a little bit on the small side. The grapefruit (or some other type of citrus) was enormous. I have never seen a citrus that large before. It was roughly the size of a large cantaloupe. It was also much sweeter than any other grapefruit I've ever had. At this point I have no idea what it was and am only calling it a grapefruit because it was so big. Had a lot of fun making this juice, so glad my girlfriend gave me her nut milk bag before she left for the states. I'm gonna try to root the pineapple top so that I can plant it outside. I have one year left down here in Grenada so that should hopefully be enough time for it to give me a pineapple.

Recipes / Simple Spiced Green Mangos
« on: March 22, 2014, 07:47:02 PM »


I love ripe mangos and usually eat them as a morning or afternoon snack when they are in season. Mangos recently just came back into season here in Grenada so I was able to pick up a bag of small green mangos. I was planning on leaving them to ripen but my girlfriend told me that green mangos taste great with a little salt and hot pepper. I cut the green mangos into wedges, and sprinkled both salt and cayenne pepper on the pulp. The salt helps to bring out the tart flavor while the cayenne adds a nice kick. Sour, spicy and a little sweet!
