If any of you know much about me, you know that I am a bit of health nut is some ways. Well, my source for the best cocunut oil on the planet, Tropical Traditions, is giving away a free 32 oz jar of their best organic coconut oil. The only catch is that you have to place a $16 order. When you do so, just add the 32 oz gold label coconut oil to your cart and you will not have to pay for it….they won’t even charge the weight in shipping and it is a bit heavy. Just remember to add the free jar to your order because it will not be automatically added. This is a great way to try out some of the Tropical Traditions products!
I use coconut oil in lots of ways:
It’s awesome in brownies in place of the bad-for-you vegetable or canola oil
I use it in all my sweet baking, like cakes, cookies, muffins, etc
I fry my eggs in it….some people don’t like the flavor of the oil this way, but it doesn’t me or my kids, just Rich
When I am out of Tropical Traditions Coconut Cream Concentrate I add the oil to my smooties
I have pretty much replaced most of the oil in my baked or cooked items with coconut oil. The only time I use any other oil is when I use it raw. When I use raw oils I use extra virgin olive oil (1st cold pressing), unrefined sesame oil, and unrefined flax oil. I use these oils only in dressings and things. Well, I do use olive oil sometimes when I bake because Rich doesn’t like the flavor of the coconut oil in things like corn bread. I also fry Rich’s eggs in butter instead of the oil.
Well, this may be more info than you needed on my use of coconut oil. But, you should really try some, if you can. On the Tropical Traditions website they give you all sorts of very helpful information on the benefits and uses of coconut oil.
