It’s incredible that when done well, one taste of something delicious can transport you to a destination around the world. Talk about a cheap passport! The Lenore Blog invites you on a culinary adventure as we take you to a world of tropical islands. That’s right. We’re cooking with coconuts. Who says Baltimore, MD can’t be the next Hawaii? Step into your apartment’s kitchen and show everyone that it can be.

In this first dish, sweet meets savory on a whole new level. We’re talking about Coconut Baked Onion Rings. Have you tasted coconut shrimp? These are very similar to those, without the fryer and shrimp.

If you’re searching for a low-carb, gluten-free option, these Coconut Crusted Mahi Mahi Nuggets could be just what you’re looking for! Just a few of these and you’ll forget about the challenge of eating healthy — we guarantee that these are the perfect fast-food alternative.

Avocado Chicken Corn Chowder is another great dish, this time offering the perfect blend of avocado, coconut milk, corn, and chicken.

If you’re looking for a great way to start your day, why not try digging into this delightful Coconut Breakfast Pudding with Sauteed Nectarines? The oats are soft and flavorful, and the taste of coconut simply shines. Said one reviewer on the website, “This recipe is awesome! I made the almond milk that is included in the magazine and iPad emag and love it. The oats and coconut is so creamy and then the nectarines caramelize and make the dish so fabulous. I can see using peaches or plums as well. I also love the maple syrup touch.”

Of course, it’s hard to ignore the classic Coconut Cream Pie. With sweetened coconut flakes, half-and-half, and whipped cream, you’ll find lots to love with this delicious treat. You can also try Hawaiian Fruit Dip, an easy-to-make treat made with pineapple and coconut — a classic tropical pairing!

To finish off the list, try these Instagram-worthy Raspberry Coconut Magic Bars.
