Vegan Jamaican Curry
This vegan Jamaican curry dish is full of earthy goodness. The sautéed tofu combined with the boldness from the curry and creaminess from the coconut makes this dish a must try! Serve over rice.
Coconut Overnight Oats
These creamy coconut overnight oats have a great flavor and a boost of protein from Greek yogurt and chia seeds. I topped them with cacao nibs and almonds, but feel free to use fresh fruit or any other topping. Add honey or maple syrup if you like them sweeter.

This pineapple upside-down cake recipe features coconut, banana and macadamia nuts for a taste of the tropics. On my way to a Hawaiian-themed party, all I could think of was pineapple upside-down cake. The recipes did not seem Hawaiian enough. I can't tell you how many people raved at the party.
