WHERE HAVE I BEEN???? Seriously, the stuff is amazing! I am just learning about it and using it. Tonight I didn't have enough butter to make cookies for my son as an afternoon Friday snack. I was thinking okay, I don't have shortning because it is crap and I just got home from the market, what am I going to use that will work. Then it occured to me that I had a jar of coconut oil/butter. I looked at the jar to see if it would convert equal parts for baking and sure enough it does. The cookies turned out AMAZING!
It is good in cooking because the high heat doesn't change the lipids into transfats. It is good for hair and skin topically. I am just learning about all the great uses, but I am excited to add this to my arsenal of good general use items.
Check it out, if you haven't already. If you have and you have more tips, I would love to hear them!!

Hi there! Wow, thanks for listing me among your favorite sites, I'm honored :) Coconut oil is the BOMB and I'm glad you've discovered that. Better late than never, right? I have always loved coconut, too but believed it was bad for me until a few years ago- wow, what a great revelation.
Here's a post I did on coconut oil a while back :)
