Feast Your Eyes: Coconut

Each week, we'll be scanning through recipes for exceptional photos from our community, and sharing our favorites.

Today: Prepare yourself for some tropical eye candy, as you look through our favorite photos from Your Best Coconut.

Coconut is one of those flavors that is all too often overlooked. Sure, coconut milk and oil have gained popularity in baking, but how often do you really let coconut's true flavor shine? We aim to change that. These photos from our latest contest are tempting us to add coconut to just about everything -- from breakfast through dessert.
