When we were small, our mothers dreaded those whiny-voiced questions at dinner time that made them want to throw the table over and stomp out of the room. You know the questions, because you asked them yourself: "What is that GREEN thing in my food?", "Why can't we just eat cake for dinner?", and "Do I HAVE to eat that?".
Our mothers, thankfully, didn't ever throw the table over. Though they may have stomped from the kitchen a few times, they generally responded to our complaints with a calm, "Just take a courtesy bite." This meant we were to take one bite of the food, to be polite. On occasion, we would realize we actually LIKED the food, but regardless, it was a great policy.
We created this blog because we want to share with you some of our favorite ideas for cooking, gardening, spending time with your kids, and whatever else tickles our fancy. We hope that you will "just take a courtesy bite" and see if these ideas are something that can bless your life. If so, great, and if not, hey, your mama will be proud of you for trying!

Coconut Chicken oh yum!


I love to order coconut shrimp when I go out to eat, so I thought- why not try coconut chicken! It was so easy and delicious! And you don't even have to defrost the chicken first!
(Preheat oven to 350)
Here' how I did it!

You will need:
boneless skinless chicken breast
2 eggs- blended them together and add a touch of milk in shallow pan
coconut flour (you can buy this at the health food store-- so many cool things to use it for but we'll add them later!)
shredded unsweetened coconut
optional: add a couple packets of stevia to the coconut flour just to give it a lightly sweet taste (it's a natural sweetener)

Place a chicken breast in egg mixture, then roll in coconut flour and sprinkle with coconut. Place on greased pan and cover with foil. Bake for about 40 min. remove foil and continue baking until coconut brown, about 10 more minutes. Enjoy!
