my pumpkin theme why not! I have several friends that are really good about their diets, yes I'm trying to become the same! Many do an organic only or gluten free lifestyle either by choice or out of necessity. I'm always looking for products and recipes for these friends. I know I'm crazy once I get on a theme move over!
When I saw Tropical Traditions on a few other sites I knew I just had to check it out myself. What moved me the most was the benefits of coconut oil. Ok now most of you might be like me and think of a coconut it's either a great rare treat or fun in a drink! Never did I think more of it than that, so when I saw the testimony of Brian Shilhavy and his wife Marianita and their quest to share these amazing benefits. What is the is so impressive about them is they stand firm on getting the oil from the coconut the traditional way.

Pumpkin-Coconut Squares
- 1 can - 15 oz organic pumpkin pie mix
- 1/2 cup organic coconut flour
- 1 tsp. aluminum free baking powder
- 3 eggs
- 2 Tbsp. of Coconut Cream Concentrate dissolved in 1/4 cup water
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 2 Tbsp. Virgin Coconut Oil
Procedure:
Pre-heat oven at 350 degree F.
Mix the coconut flour with baking powder. Set aside. Blend all the rest of the ingredients and then mix with the coconut flour and baking powder mixture. Mix well. Grease an 8 x12 rectangular pan with coconut oil. Pour the mixture on the pan.
Bake at 350 degree F for 45 minutes.
Test to see if it is already done by inserting a clean toothpick in the middle. When the toothpick comes out clean or with no residue, the mixture is done.
Cool down. Cut into squares.
