Our Best Bites recently came out with a cookbook. When Kate and Sara announced that they would be coming to Utah, and more specifically to the mall near my house, to do a book signing, I knew I needed to rush out and get the book! So last week I got my copy! (Sorry Ryan, I know you probably wanted that idea for an upcoming gift-giving occasion, but I just couldn't wait!) A lot of the recipes are from the blog, but there are new ones in the book, too. I've spent the week looking through the book, and deciding what to try next.
Last Sunday I made the Spicy Honey Chicken and the Sweet & Savory Coconut Rice -- delicious! And then on Tuesday afternoon I whipped up the Sour Cream Pound Cake and made the Strawberry-Lime Shortcakes with Coconut Cream. Yes, it tasted as amazing as it sounds! And now I can say I've toasted coconut -- I learn a new skill all the time from these ladies! Unfortunately, I got wiped out by some bug the rest of the week and was not able to try more -- yet.
The book signing was Thursday night, and of course I was feeling my worst all day Thursday. I couldn't miss meeting Kate and Sara, though, so I took lots of cold medicine and said many prayers. Amazingly, the only time I didn't need to be near a tissue (or the entire box of them) was during the time I was gone to the book signing -- what a blessing!

And fair warning to my neighbors . . . I will most likely be bringing this to ALL of our neighborhood barbecues this summer!
