We had a meet and greet for a new employee in my department at work and I decided that it should be a morning breakfasty kind of thing. I made Poppy Seed muffins from
Mostly Muffins, a wonderful little cookbook I got years ago and have used so much it is literally falling apart. I have many muffin cookbooks, in all shapes and sizes, and this recipe is one of my favorites. Most poppy seed muffins have lemon. This one doesn't. It does have sour cream, which gives it a very moist texture. I made mini-muffins rather than full size and as always they were wonderful.

I also wanted to take something else. I toyed with a blueberry coffee cake or a pound cake or some type of nut bread. I was going through a little Taste of Home Muffins and Quick Breads cookbook, you know, the ones that you get at check-out registers, that I came across this
Coconut Loaf recipe. I'd wanted to try it for some time, but never had any coconut. Well, I had coconut, so I gave it a try. It's simply wonderful! It's more like a pound cake with a bit of coconut -- the coconut is not overwhelming at all.
I did make a couple of modifications - I used margarine (really not a huge change) and almond milk, leaving this version dairy free.
It sliced fine after it cooled, but the following day it was a little crumbly when sliced. Not sure why. Still, it's a wonderful recipe and I'll probably bake it again
