I use the SoDelicious no sugar added coconut milk (45 calories per cup) and use it in everything from cereal, to protein shakes, to cooking with it...I pretty much replace any milk ingredient with it. It is in the same fridge section with the soy and almond milks -- this is not canned coconut milk that I use.

You can use it as a subsitute for milk in anything including baking. It's endless what you can do with it. Or just drink it on it's own. soooo yummy!

Thai peanut sauce.

Very few ingredients are needed to make peanut sauce. For five servings you need 2 tbsp. smooth natural peanut butter, 2 tbsp. light coconut milk, 1/2 tbsp. lime juice, 2 tsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce, 1 tsp. brown sugar and 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper. To prepare, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and vigorously whisk until smooth.

700 calories per cup but I usually eat a tbs. with steamed veggies or chicken.

cubed chicken, mixed fresh vegetables, tomatoes, coconut milk, thai red curry powder. simmer till done. extra yummy. Can also use with thai green curry powder which has a milder and to me is wonderful with fish.

I use coconut milk to cook my salmon. First I rub the salmon fillet with a mixture of mace, turmeric, cayenne, and salt and let it sit a few minutes. Then I put the salmon in a microwave safe bowl and pour in lite coconut milk until it covers the salmon completely. Microwave on high 5-8 minutes.

The salmon comes out moist and delicious. I'm sure you could also use different spice/herb combinations. You may have to practice the timing based on the thickness of your salmon fillet and the power of your microwave.

Panang Curry
Thom Yum Soup
On warmed up plain rice with cinnamon

And my recent discovery, I threw some lite coconut milk into pancake mix and it made some heavenly fluffy pancakes! Added cals since it's not mixed with plain water but such a lovely flavor. Could top it with some pineapple.
