trlt Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 You are all pure evil:D! I was reading threads about coconut oil and decided to try it. Whoever mentioned that they put it on toast...you are the most evil! I am never going to be able to not have it in my house again. Someone is going to find me hiding in my pantry devouring jars upon jars of coconut oil. Evil I tell ya!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelovearth Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Oh, I've switched to it too a while back after reading about how canola oil is used as a pesticide. :001_huh: I love EVOO for my salads and coconut oil for cooking. I haven't put it on toast since I don't eat too much bread but I'll have to try that next time. Don't go TOO crazy though. lol It's still a fat and should be eaten in moderation and not devoured jar by jar. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMamaBird Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 If you think coconut oil on bread is evil, whatever you do, don't melt a bag of chocolate chips then mix in 1/2 c. coconut oil. And after that, whatever you do, don't drizzle it on vanilla ice cream and wait for it to harden. Yeah, you don't want to do that. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made bread using coconut oil instead of butter (the recipe I use calls for 3 Tbsp of softened butter) and my bread came out soooo much better. It stayed nice and soft. There is just barely a hint of coconut flavor but not really that noticable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janie_ranae Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 i.love.lucy would you be willing to share that delicious sounding banana oatmeal recipe?

FaithManor Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Whatever you do, don't do this! DON'T brown some chicken breast in a pan, shred it, add snow peas, diced red bell pepper and leeks, sprinkle with basil, thyme, and garlic, add coconut oil, throw in a small dollop of honey, and serve over rice or pasta. JUST DON'T DO IT! STEP AWAY FROM THE KITCHEN.... ;) (This disclaimer brought to you by FaithManor - the woman who could have devoured the entire huge pan of it and NOT shared one.single.bit. with her family.)

Rebecca in Virginia Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Yeah, we are HUGE fans of coconut oil around here. It's really a very healthy fat for you and can be used to replace lots of cosmetic products, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is already going goopy on me in my bathroom and it's around 74 degrees probably about now. I'd keep it in the fridge when it gets too hot in the summer.

lillybell Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Wow, I love coconut oil. I like it in my oatmeal and use it to stir fry veggies. I keep a big jar in my kitchen and a small one in my bathroom because I love to use it for my hands in place of lotion. I rub a small amount between my hands until it melts than I rub it in. I also have used it for chapped lips. My daughter has eczema on her hands and they prescribed her a medicine that she had been using but wasn't helping much. I ended up trying the coconut oil on her hands daily and the eczema is now under control. You can't even tell she ever had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy22alyns Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I know this sounds awful, but I sometimes make chicken nuggets pan fried in coconut oil. The breading has ranch and Parmesan cheese. When the oil cools and all those bits of salty cheese settle at the bottom I like to sneak a few tastes (or more than a few). :D Ummm, recipe please? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only bad side effect of this is that every time we get a whiff of coconut, we both get, um, randy :blushing: which is problematic because I use coconut oil in baking, cooking, cosmetics uses, first aid.

SweetMissMagnolia Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I have seen the louana at a local store and wondered if it would be as good as the others too I get Nature's Way from Amazon and it's good but I haven't used to it's full potential though :D by reading some of the posts-want to try it in brownies but just haven't done it yet..... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marylou Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 You ladies are cracking me up! I have Louana in the house (odorless, tasetless, looks like white lard). My dSIL bought it at Wal-Mart. I just got some jars from Puritan's Pride (their brand). It smells like coconuts and tastes yummy. My girls and I just made some CO fudge and it is cooling in the refrig.
