What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Table Food: Coconut Sprinkled Fruit Cups! Whether you choose to enhance a hearty breakfast, compliment a light lunch, or serve as a healthy dessert, fresh fruit is always a good idea. Take a moment to look in the fridge. Perhaps you see an apple, a bunch of green grapes, a ripe banana, or a few stragglers from a berry basket. Combine them together for a surprising and colorful addition to any meal. Sprinkle on some coconut flakes to jazz things up. Drizzle with maple syrup, wildflower honey, or agave nectar. Just a touch. Then, for a nice finish, sprinkle on cinnamon, nutmeg, or citrusy cardamom. Dessert-lovers may add a dollop of whipped cream. The choices are endless. When building a fruit salad, think color, flavor, and presentation. The results may surprise you.

I don’t like coconut meat/shreds/slices, with the exception of some sugared/dried chunks a Philippino coworker gave me. Sadly, I didn’t think to pic or write down the brand!

If you don’t like the texture of coconut, perhaps a sprinkling of extract would suffice. 💦🥥

I’ll stick with fruit and no coconut!
Dang… now I feel compelled to eat the mango in my fridge (it’s 6am here and I haven’t slept yet).
