Coconut Oil!!

Hi, my friends! I have been so busy these last couple of weeks but I had to pop on and share my new obsession - Coconut oil!! I am so in love with this stuff.  My surgeon recommended it to me but I wasn't sure what I would use it for so it took me a while to buy it. I bought some at Trader Joes (I think it was 6 or 7 dollars for a jar of it) and use it all the time now.  Everything tastes SOOO much better with it and I use only a tsp which is about 40 calories.  I scramble my egg in the morning in it, I cook my boca burgers in it and my low carb chicken quesadilla tastes 100 times better cooked with just a little of the coconut oil instead of PAM!

The other night I made chicken parmesan with almond flour instead of bread crumbs and used coconut oil to cook it in.  It was amazing!  Just thought I would pass this on in case anyone was starting to get bored with the same old tastes... I was starting to get in a food rut and allowing some bad carbs to sneak into my meals.  This has helped and really does enhance the flavor of your food.  

Hope everyone is having a good week.  Have a great day!

yessss its good. But using coconut flour + coconut oil = lots of coconut!

I like sauteeing apples and cinnamon in some coconut oil - really good taste.

I also started using olive oil cooking spray instead of PAM (mostly vegetable oil) and I like it better. Some people say they can taste a chemically taste to it but I cant.

You know it is also good as a moisturizer for your skin.  I use it on my arms and legs out of the shower and it sinks right in. I have also put it in my hair and let sit as a hair masque.  After washing it out, my hair feels so soft.  Coconut oil is the bomb.com LOL

coconut oil is very high in saturated fats but I guess with the small amount of fat we eat that is ok, taste great though

Hey, Trader Joes also sells a coconut oil spray (it's a combo of coconut and soy oils) kind of like PAM . Just bought some yesterday and haven't tried it yet!

Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to try that!

Add a tablespoon to your protein shake. Good plus you get all the great benefits. Started using it after seeing about it on Dr Oz. I remember him saying make sure it is Extra Virgin certified Organic coconut oil cold pressed. I got a really good deal with a BOGO at Vitacost.com few days ago. Not sure how long that deal was for. Lets just say I don't need miralax everyday taking this!!! Also good skin moisturizer.
