Coconut Rice

 

After I did my meal planning for the week I went to the grocery store. It was then when I realized that I had 3 recipes with coconut in them on the list. I must have been on some coconut kick when I sat down to meal plan. But since both the husband and I are coconut fans I don’t think he minded it either! We don’t have rice very much in our house. We are more of a pasta family. So I rarely venture out and try new rice recipes. I made this and served it up the cuban black beans and Asian salmon with peach and mango salsa. I loved it! My son who doesn’t like coconut anything didn’t care for it so he stuck to the beans and salmon. So if you are a coconut fan like me give this rice a try!

 

Truvia sent me a fun package and their sweetener was the perfect touch to sweeten this rice up! I feel like rice and coconut milk can be a little bland.. So Truvia was the perfect touch to take this rice from bland to amazing! I feel like that is what is so great about Truvia. It sweetens things up without making you feel guilty about adding spoonfuls of sugar to your meal.
