Chocolate Coconut Ice Cream
Ingredients
  • 2 (13.5 oz) cans of full fat coconut milk
  • 1 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup good quality unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Yield: About 2 1/2 cups
Instructions
  1. In a pot over medium heat, add all the ingredients and stir. Allow to simmer until thickened slightly, about 8 minutes.
  2. Place in a container and refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours.
  3. Add to an ice cream maker and churn until set, about 15 to 20 minutes. Freeze until desired consistency is reached
  4. *Note: I use a Kitchen Aid Ice Cream maker: churn time was 15 minutes for a "soft serve" consistency and another 2 hours of freeze time for a harder scoop style ice cream.

A lot has changed...

So it's been a while...actually a very long time since I have posted.  There has been quite a few changes in my life since July!  Moved out of the gf's house...moved too fast and it ended up being very bad decision.   Found a new place to live and I'm slowly making it my home.  Lots to still unpack and decorations to hang...oh and lots of organizing to be done  One person should not have this much stuff; it is ridiculous.  I have found someone new who lights up my world every time I see or talk to her.  I am so incredibly happy!!  :)

OK on to a new recipe:

Just made this dish this week.

Ingredients: 

~Marinated Chicken in an olive oil based Italian dressing (I used store bought, but you could also make your own)
~Broccoli, green peppers, scallions, zucchini all cooked in the same dressing.

I started cooking the chicken first then added some of the dressing.  Next I cooked the veggies in a separate pot (you could cook them together if desired) with the dressing.  You will want to cook the veggies until they are slightly soft yet still crispy.  Once finished, mix the chicken and veggies together on a plate and enjoy!  I was even told the leftovers were just as good!!  Next time I will hopefully remember to take pictures.

Keep posted, new recipes coming soon!
