***Recipe Alert*** Coconut Crusted Shrimp

Sometimes you need to eat something other than chicken!  This is the way I felt the other night. I took a look in the freezer and my eyes spied shrimp. Shrimp- high in protein, low in fat and can be flavored in many ways. Also, quick to defrost when thrown in a bowl with some water :-p. I knew right away how I was going to prepare this shrimp! Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: Coconut Crusted Shrimp. 

This recipe was quick, easy and flavorful. I hope you enjoy it. 

Ingredients:

2lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on

1/2c coconut flour 

2 egg, lightly beaten in bowl

1/2 unsweetened, shredded coconut

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 375. 

Pat dry shrimp with a paper towel. Holding the shrimp by the tail, dunk in flour to coat.

Lastly, dunk in shredded coconut to coat. 

Place on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining shrimp. 

Spray cooking oil on shrimp. 

Sprinkle salt/pepper and curry powder on shrimp.

Recipe Alert: Coconut Apple Cake

Hey hey Peeps!

The other day I wanted to have cake for breakfast. Of course if I'm going to have cake for breakfast, a few conditions have to be met. For example: high fiber, low glycemic, nutritious and low sugar. You may ask...." But Kanwal.. How are you going to find a cake like this"? Well, first of all, I may not be able to find this cake BUT I will be able to make this cake and it will be quick!

This is exactly what I did. I made a healthy, nutritious, low glycemic/sugar apple coconut cake and it was extremely easy. So easy, that I feel bad taking credit for it :-p

I had this whole cake for breakfast and it was delicious. It was also so easy to make. I think next time I'm just going to make a big batch of this and make muffins out of them. I seriously suggest you try this recipe out. There is no added sugar and it has 10 grams of fiber!

Here are the deets:
