This crispy, sweet Coconut French Toast with its topping of juicy tropical fruits will transport you to the islands.

Key Lime Pie marries a tart and creamy custard with a sweet and crumbly graham cracker crust, under a fluffy cloud of whipped cream.

We’re doing some island dreaming, stuck at home all winter and wishing we were on a warm, white sand beach. Since we can’t be there, I created a Caribbean vibe at home with this dinner menu that includes all the essentials – fresh fish, mangoes, coconut, and fruity rum cocktails.

Coconut Cream Pie is sweet, cool, and ultra creamy. This one has a Nilla wafer crust and even more vanilla in the filling for extra tropical flavor.

Actually these are clam fritters, pillow-y soft and light, jam packed with clams and perked up with scallions, Sriracha, and a hint of ginger.

Crispy, pan roasted fish is coated with a spicy rub and topped with a cool, refreshing, tropical fruit salsa.

Put some steel band music on and let the flavors of rum, pineapple and passion fruit transport you to the islands.
