Pre Thanksgiving meal catch up

SO yes, I am ashamed...because this meal was made about 2 weeks ago.  So I'm sorry, I know, I suck...but I'll make it up to you all I swear!

So this is actually something that I made prior to starting this blog and it was just as good the second time.

We love coconut, if you don't, then we don't like you!

Well thats not true, but you probably won't like this meal.

The main thing I like about this is that it is quick and easy and it makes a lot so you will have plenty of leftovers.

Well, unfortunately since I made this so long ago, I don't remember any of the things I wanted to tell all of you..SORRY...I promise its easy though...TRY IT!

ENJOY!
