From EatingWell: December 2005/January 2006, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008)

This three-ingredient dish, known as piele in Hawaii, is fabulously simple. Coconut milk—an occasional indulgence because of the saturated fat—contributes rich flavor.

Microwaving does not equal eating well

This recipe has potential to be great, however microwave cooking is terrible for your health! Throw away your microwave. The convenience is not worth denaturing your food and zapping any enzymes out of existence. And as a previous reader commenter, coconut is good for you and doesn't have the same effects as eating saturated fat from animal sources. It is a great source of lauric acid, a vital nutrient which is present in human breast milk.

Pros: coconut milk

These were just OK

I thought these were just OK. They kind of boring & though I was convinced that I liked them at first, I quickly got sick of the taste & couldn't finish what was on my plate.
