**GIVEAWAY CLOSED**
I've become quite the little cook lately, I'm sure increasing my likelihood of hot wife status one day. What is my new favorite ingredient for creating these culinary delights? Coconut oil.
First of all, it like magically makes the food cook perfectly. Second, I feel like the food is less greasy and helps my face not to break out. Third, it's all natural for you organic lovers.
How did I hear about this? My friend Jenny mentioned something about using coconut oil. I was interested so I got some Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil from Tropical Traditions. You can find delicious recipes on their blog at http://www.freecoconutrecipes.com.
They have a referral program, so do me a favor and if you place an order to try it out choose “Referred by a Friend” and enter my User ID: 6995154. On your first online order, you can get a complimentary copy of their Virgin Coconut Oil book added to your order. It has research on coconut oil, recipes, and other goodies.
It's giveaway time! Want to win your own free quart of coconut oil?

ReplyDeletei have been using coconut oil for about the last year or so, and it is a miracle for everything. use it on your skin for every skin problem!!! rashes, sunburn, dry skin, any bacteria or viral problem! it helps with scars and any scrap or bump or bruise. my kids love it and call it the owie stuff.
ReplyDeleteyou can also take it internally, a spoonful at a time or put it in smoothies. use it where you would use butter. you can even do a detox with it.
One of my cooking secrets is that I used my little stainless steal oven for almost EVERYTHING! It cooks fast, saves electricity, and I've adapted almost every recipe to make it "fit."

ReplyDeleteOne of my cooking secrets is to not cook with olive oil, but rather add it at the end to give a dish that wonderful olive oil flavor. Cooking with it degrades the nutrients in it anyways, so use something like TT's expeller pressed coconut oil with no flavor to roast in and add the olive oil at the end.
