In addition to kicking off Selfish September on Saturday, I’m also kicking off a month of healthy eating… getting back on the wagon. Eating right. Counting calories. Losing weight. Working out.
And on Monday night, I ate the most ridiculous dish to get this party started. You know the dish, one that you are SO AMAZED is considered healthy because it’s so incredibly flavorful.
Now, I only made one serving of this recipe, and I’m LITERALLY kicking myself about it. The great news is I have all the ingredients on hand, so it’s going to be on the table again VERY soon.
It’s a little spicy, a little sweet in just the most amazing way. If you like coconut, you’re going to die over this…

Note: I used the Sarabeth’s Peach Apricot Spread that came in my Birch Box Home a few months back – – So delish!
