This is a gread quick bread..."it almost tastes like a pound cake", believe it or not…my husband and I said that at the same time after the first bite! We had it plain and also for dessert topped with Cool Whip and sliced strawberries. I didn’t know how to toast coconut, so I just put it on a baking sheet while the oven was heating and watched it until it got golden. Thanks for a unique quick bread recipe and a way to use up leftover coconut! -
What a yummy bread! I love the fact that it's so easy to throw together and forgiving too. I had to use two egg whites instead of one egg and melted butter instead of oil but it worked out wonderfully. I've been munching on it for breakfast and plan on making a bunch more to freeze. -
I made muffins from this recipe. I agree with the other reviewers that this would be best as a poundcake (top with fruit and whipped cream) instead. The coconut flavor is very mild. Since I love coconut flavor, I would probably add coconut extract next time. -
Hmm... I wasn't truly crazy about this one. The flavor was good- very much like pound cake as others mentioned, but mine was very dry and crumbly, which really took away from the bread, overall. I toasted the coconut in a skillet beforehand. The coconut flavor was not particularly strong (I used unsweetened, by the way), but still apparent. Maybe the long cooking time has something to do with the dryness I experienced? I may try this again to see if I can get a moister bread, but as it is, it was too dry and with too subtle a flavor for me. Sorry, but thanks for posting. -
Made this up as a quick little treat for us, couldn't resist eating it warm. Very moist and flavorful, it truly is almost like pound cake!! thanks for the treat!!

Well where to begin with this year, so much has happened that I have decided to change it around one more time. I am currently seperated and going through a divorce. I am now the single mother to 2 amazing kids Nicholas who is 6 and Grace who is 3. I have also made the big descion to go back to school, which I started in August, I love it! I have another year and a half to go, but I am loving every minute of it. My cooking has changed instead of time to prepare meals I am doing alot of prep work ahead of time and can soon find myself into the OAMC. My mom has also recently just joined after years of searching for recipes, so I know she will be posting alot of my favorites from when I was a kid. In my spare time which I do not have alot of I enjoy spending time with friends and family, reading, excersing, watching movies, doing crafts, and cooking which is a passion. My mother and my grandmother taught me how to cook at a very young age and it is something I appreciate them for doing. I love having bonfires in the summer, my house is the one everybody kinda ends up at for a good time, we like to sit around the fire having BBQ's, having a few drinks and playing cards. I know sounds boring but I love it. In the winter months I do alot of dinner parties where everybody comes over for good food, and good times. My friends mean the world to me they have stood beside me through everything the one way I always show appreciation for it is to feed them. I love to bake, I am not a fan of sweets just like doing it and giving it away. My Christmas baking gets a little more out of control each year. I stumbled onto this site a few years ago and I am on at least once a day. I may not be one to be as active as I should on here with keeping up news and forums, but like I said I am always copying recipes down, one day I will get around to posting all of my reviews to all of your amazing recipes. The recipes you find posted by myself are tried and true. There is nothing I haven't made on here or are in the process of trying, if I think it is good I will post it for all to share, if I didn't like it you won't see me post it. Alot of my recipes are handed down from my grandmother so they are all good, these all come from my heart to your table, Enjoy!
