Default Coconut Oil

Ignoring the health benefits, Coconut oil is an awesome food from an eating point of view:

Put some in a pot and make popcorn: fantastic

When I make a cake I will use half coconut oil, half butter. They taste fantastic

Yesterday I made pancakes and used coconut oil instead of butter in my mix: fantastic.

Thanks saved, I like the cake idea! I've only been using cake mixes for awhile now, and I usually use light olive oil, I bet the coconut oil would be very good with a spice or carrot cake.

You can google cake recipes and pancake mix recipes. If you make them out of scratch, you control what fats and leavening agents go in.

I try to use coconut oil over butter in everything I would normally use butter in. Coconut oil is a great source of natural omegas.

All I use is Coconut Oil. The Medium Chain Triglycerides in it make it an excellent thermogenic for the body. The fat actually burns like a carbohydrate in the body... converting directly to energy. Coconut Oil is an excellent food for weight loss too, it increases energy and decreases appetite!
