My Lazy Version of Coconut Candy

I used the recipe from Avartsy cooking 

I was to lazy to start cracking coconuts

So i used shredded coconut from the grocery story

                                                    

                                                        

Dinner :D

Stir Fry

Onions, mushrooms, peppers, cucumbers, carrots, Broccoli (any vegetable you like goes in well)

Little Olive oil in a pan: add onions first and then the other ingredients

I would say cook for about 2mins, cooking for too long renders the veggies useless (nutrition-less...lool)

If you are not a fan of broccoli (like me) you can steam the broccoli in a small pot with a lump of butter before adding it to the mix,

I forgot to take pictures of the fish process but basically:- 

I used 2 Tilapia Fillets, I Washed them and I cut them up into squares

And I marinated it overnight with Salt, Pepper, Thyme, Adobo seasoning and Lemon Juice

Then I greased a pan, and places the fillet pieces in it and grilled them in the oven for about 15/20mins at 350 degrees C

I also Roasted some Sweet potatoes 

Final Outcome:
