Coconut Oil - New Fave In the Kitchen

I'd like to introduce you to my new best friend, coconut oil, and most recently, liquid coconut oil.  
For a while now I've been using coconut oil in place of margarine/butter and any other oils that I used to have in my diet.  Fats are necessary for a healthy diet, and coconut oil is one of the healthiest.  

I've been wondering about how to use coconut oil to make my own dressing for my salads so I could get away from those store-bought, filled with garbage ones.  Then a friend who works in a health food store told me about liquid coconut oil.  She makes her own salad dressing with apple cider vinegar and liquid coconut oil.  I immediately went out and bought some and mixed up a batch.  YUM!!  

I am very happy with the taste and I know that I am eating less chemicals.  :)

Liquid coconut oil makes for great salad dressing, especially
when mixed with apple cider vinegar.

  2. We use coconut oil a ton in our house.. Most recently we used it in our popcorn machine to make fresh popcorn and it was DELICIOUS!! Gave the popcorn just a tiny hint of sweetness!
