Tyler Florence and His Toasted Coconut Bread ROCKS!


The kids and I were bored the other day and decided to trek on over to the Library. Boy! What a find! I picked up Tyler Florence Real Kitchens Cook Book! When I found the recipe for Toasted Coconut Bread I knew it was a must. My husband loves coconut and bread. I was so far from disappointed. It rocked! It was gone in a few hours. It is served with........

PINEAPPLE BUTTER!!!!!


Really, Can you get any better? I will answer for you...NO!


Trust me....This will not disappoint...

PINEAPPLE BUTTER
