Nasi Lemak Bungkus (Coconut Flavored Rice with Spicy Anchovies Wrapped in Banana Leaves)

I'm a recently retired farmer's wife, tho we still live on the farm. I baked A LOT for farmer's markets in the Knoxville, Tennessee area. I have 13 children, with only the 3 youngest now at home. We've home schooled all our children since 1987. I'm blessed to be called Gramma to 9 (soon to be 11) grandchildren. I enjoy baking all types of breads, pastries, and frugal meals. I've been delving into gluten free, sugar free baking the past couple of years as many of my summer customers and I benefited from it. Last, but by no means least, I'm a Christian. I love the Lord Jesus Christ and seek to serve Him in all I do. He gave His life for my sin and I live in victory each day because of His power, direction, and wisdom. My life verse is, "I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHICH STRENGTHENETH ME." Philippians 4:13
