I bought the gnocchi from walmart, next time I will try to make it on my own but thought that was too much to do yesterday! :)

It was great! So to me it was as coconutty as when I use coconut oil, but I thought it tasted great! Isaac thought maybe it was a curry soup because of the coconut flavor, he loved it! I bought coconut cream from the same company I bought the oil from, I probably will try using half and half next time in place of the cream and milk. :)
