Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

You're right dill, I should probably rephrase that to I hope we get lots of snow over the course of the winter, not just in a few dumps lol. I love coconut and the coconut chocolate macaroons are one of my favorites as well. But if I remember correctly coconut is high in saturated fat so anyone with cholesterol problems has to watch how much of it they eat.

[Rava]

Good morning all. Thanks for yesterday’s breakfast Cowboy. Dill I am a coconut lover. I even add it to coleslaw for a really super good taste. Going to drive 2 hours today to meet our son at a halfway point for lunch. Hope everyone has a great and sober day. 24 more please and thank you!

[Ginger999]

I see I forgot to check in yesterday! I've been doing wordle and connections when I get up and sharing results with my sisters. I guess that took my mind away from check in! It was a booze free day

I LOVE everything about coconut and have since I was a little girl and would beg my mom for a whole one at the grocery store. I shared it with no one! Lol

I'll take another day of freedom!

[Jude58]

I love everything coconut, especially if it's covered in chocolate! The weather guys are talking about a snow storm at the end of this week, sure hope that they're wrong!

Looking forward to another 24 hours...

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. No snow in Florida this week and the hurricane has dissolved thank goodness. Hopefully the season is over and the good weather will stay. Hope everyone has a great and sober day. 24 more please and thank you!

Coconut in coleslaw Rava? I am going to have to give that a try! Coleslaw is a staple here because Mr. D enjoys growing cabbage, so I almost always have a cabbage on hand. My favorite macaroons are dipped in dark chocolate.

We are going to have plunging temperatures this week Jude. I hope no snow, but we shall see!

Ginger, I do Wordle and share with family members every day! Connections, often as well.

Cowboy, over the years they go back and forth on nutritional guidelines so that I don't currently know what they say about coconut oil and coconut meat! Perhaps if I have time today I'll do a search on the topic.

Hi, Mul!

24 more for all of us here, please.

Looks like we're all coconut fans, just talking about it makes me want to do up a batch of macaroons lol. We're big cabbage lovers as well, and sauerkraut. Bubba and her mom just did up a big batch of holopchi (Ukrainian sour cabbage rolls) on Sunday.

Yesterday I spent lots of time in the kitchen and made 8 stuffed peppers using antelope hamburger with the rice, we had one each for supper and froze the rest in pairs for easy suppers in the coming weeks.

Bubba and I do the NYT Wordle and Canukle (Canadian version of Wordle) every morning over breakfast lol. We all seem to have so much in common!

[Ginger999]

ABC, we do have lots in common! And if you can find one thing positive about AL, it's that it brought us all together. It would never have happened otherwise. See what I did there? I made lemonade! Lol

I'll take another day!

I've done my homework and read some things about coconut and cholesterol, and it seems the thinking currently continues to lean toward avoiding coconut oil due to high saturated fats content, as you said, Cowboy. But coconut is high in fiber which is good for lowering cholesterol. So to me, using coconut in recipes is probably very safe for people with heart disease. I will also still use coconut oil when I prepare our Thai food favorites, but we don't eat them very often. Moderation is the key. I guess. Here's a short link about coconut oil and cholesterol from a trusted source: Don't get tricked by these 3 heart-health myths - Mayo Clinic


Cowboy, Hungarian Cabbage Rolls are one of my absolute favorites! And the stuffed peppers tucked away in the freezer are a great idea.

That was some delicious lemonade, Ginger! I couldn't agree more.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

[Jude58]

Mmmm...all of this food talk is making me hungry! Cowboy, stuffed peppers using antelope hamburger sounds yummy!

24 more for all of us please...

[Rava]

Good morning Cafe. Cowboy your food sounds great. I am also a big sauerkraut lover! Dill, not only do I add coconut to Cole slaw but a few dried cranberries as well. I’m attaching a recipe if you would like to try it. Rain today expected. Hope everyone has a great and sober day. 24 more please and thank you.

Thanks for the recipe Rava, I'm going to pass it along to Bubba.

I liked your lemonade Ginger, you can keep making it!

Thanks for the link dill, I think you said it best when you said everything in moderation. Bubba and I try to eat as healthy as we can but not to the extent that we cut out the things we enjoy eating.

Our cold spell has started moving in, -15C (5F) here this morning with colder temps and lots of snow in the forecast starting tomorrow.
