Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    *To toast coconut, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium-low heat 6 to 14 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.
  • tip 2
    Fortified breakfast cereal is an excellent source of iron. Iron helps build red blood cells to carry oxygen through the body. Choose whole grain cereals for breakfast or as a quick snack.
  • tip 3
    No parfait glasses? Wine glasses or slim drinking glasses work just as well.
