Coconut Cream pie

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/old-fashioned-coconut-cream-pie/

This was ok. I used a can of coconut milk in place of 1.5 cups of half and half based on some reviews. The pie was good, but I guess it didn't really thrill me. I guess I'm not a cream pie fanatic.

Tilapia tostadas.

I loved this recipe. David didn't rate it as high as me because he doesn't like fish as much, and that fish doesn't do well in tacos. But I disagree!

Calories: 470 per serving / 1 serving is 2 tostadas.

Saffron Rice

from Cooking Light.

1 c diced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 c uncooked basmati rice
2 c chicken broth
1/4 tsp saffron threads, crushed
bay leaf

serves 4.

If you make it in the crock pot, make sure to saute onion and garlic beforehand. I didn't this time and it tasted too raw onion-like. The score would go up if you do the saute first.
