My DH's grandmother taught me how to make some coconut macaroons last Thanksgiving-the poor mans way.
Couple of slices of day old bread-cubed
half can of condensed milk
shredded coconut
Dredge the bread in the milk
roll in the coconut
bake at 350 for about 10-12 minutes-keep an eye on them or they get too hard
Voila! I made this when I returned home and no one could believe it was made with bread!
I guess this is one of those old timers recipes for using up odds and ends in the fridge
