#  Smell the enchanting scents of Bali rushing in on you through the screen. 
It's such a shame they haven't invented "smell-o-vision" yet, but they will soon and *I'll be there for you!*

_______________
Some of you may know that my home-base is in Bali and one of my favorite Balinese dishes is called "rendang." 

Let me explain this to those who haven't had it... it's similar to a curry, it's a very spiced sauce that is authentic and creamy and everything just melts into your mouth!

Rendang is usually made with meat but obviously, I have created an alternative that soaks up the flavors and gives you a delicious experience without any cows being harmed in the process! The real star of this dish is the spices and the coconut mylk is like a smooth slice of heaven! :) 

**Little tip:** If you like mushrooms, throw some into this recipe as they LOVE soaking up the coconut mylk in this dish! I'm omitting them right now as part of my cleanse but you go on if you're not on the same path as I am and enjoy!

I went to the market the morning of this recipe and collected some fresh coconuts to make the most creamy mylk ever with! That said, my liquid is more on the cream side than mylk but you can use whichever you wish! If you use cream, you can add water to make it less thick if that's what floats your boat! The spices are going to carry you into deliciousland!

## Dang, I Love Rendang!
