Coconut Bread is Yummy!

Hi everyone,

I feel real bad cause during the past week I might have only walked 1/2 the time. I have been doing stuff in the evenings and got home too late. I always feel like I have to do my walks every night to be healthier. The days are just too hot over here. But tonight I will for sure.

Yesterday I ate:
lunch; 1/2 cup of brown rice, mushrooms, zuchinni, turkey and some pesto sauce all in a bowl and a little pork rinds.  S-2/C-1
dinner; Hubby and I were out and arguing about where to eat. He kept saying its up to you. You are the one on a special diet. I said, where do you want to go cause I can find something anywhere. So we wound up at Lucilles BBQ. I had a dish w/2 fried chicken breasts, greens, and broccoli, I had a bit of hubby's creamy cheesy grits and 2 bites of his biscuit. We also each had a glass of Cabernet. I only ate half of my meal.  S-2/C-1

I am gonna take a break right now and attempt to make the coconut bread. I will finish blogging when the bread is done and let you know what I think.....

OK so here it is....

I used a regular sized loaf pan

As you can see the slices come out small, about 2 " tall

I ate a piece with some Natures Hollow sugar free preserves on top. By itself it is very heavy tasting. It is not like bread or like cake. It did not taste like coconut like I thought it would - hense the name...Coconut Bread. I liked it - very different than what I was expecting.

I used this coconut flour that I found at Henry's market - now becoming Sprouts.

http://coconutsecret.com/flour2.html It says refrigerate after, so be aware of that. 

It says 2 tbsp has 1 gm of sugar, 9 gm of carbs, 8 gms of Fiber. 

I measured 9 tbsp in 3/4 cup for the recipe. 

for the whole loaf

4 1/2 gms of sugar 

45 gms of carbs

40 gms of fiber

so if you slice the loaf into 12 slices = 2 slices per serving = 

each serving has: less than 1 sugar, 8 carbs, 7 fiber

I can definitely live with that. Try it ladies. Dawn was right, I didn't understand the sugar thing and the ratio of coconut flour vs: regular flour. I get it now.

I am putting the recipe on the recipes page.

THANK YOU DAWN :-)

By the way, after I mad it and tried a piece, I kept asking hubby if e wants to try it, he kept saying NO I don't want that stuff. Then when he left for work tonight - the night shift at the FD, I noticed 3 slices gone from the plate. LOL!

My thought for the day:

Real Life

Real life is not always going to be perfect or go our way, but the recurring acknowledgment of what is working in our lives can help us not only survive but surmount our difficulties. 

Keep on BFC ' n  :-)
