Brown-Rice & Coconut Milk Pudding

The coconut milk in this whole-grain dessert lends a richness and also a sweetness (along with the raisins). Which in turn lessens the need for a lot of extra sweetener. This is a very simple, yet satisfying dessert that anyone would enjoy.

These baked oatmeal squares are easy to make, and can be topped or filled with any fruit you like. When serving these, for an extra special touch top each square with a pat of real butter and a light drizzle of maple syrup.

Ambrosia Coconut Fruit Salad

This ambrosia fruit salad is made with creamy coconut milk instead of mayonnaise. It would be a welcome addition to any party or potluck…and a healthy one too :) Feel free to use any combination of fruit that you like in this salad, fresh or canned (no sugar added/drained well). Try halved grapes, sliced/chopped apple, pineapple, mandarin oranges or tangerines, strawberries, and the list goes on…..just use a total of 4 to 5 cups of fruit in any combination.

Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce *

This applesauce is so delicious, better than any applesauce that you’d buy at the store. It makes a great little dessert all by itself……you might want to make a double batch and freeze some for later. Eat it as-is cold or warm. Serve it as a topping for ice cream or yogurt; or bake with it, it makes cakes and muffins incredibly moist.
