Here are simple uses for coconut oil for cooking and eating! 

Try them out and you will taste a difference! 

Cooking at High Heat- Coconut oil doesn’t form harmful by-products when heated like most other oils and animal fats. Use it to replace butter, cup for cup in recipes. Sauté, cook, bake, broil, and braise using coconut oil as a healthier alternative.

A PAM Replacement- Coat baking pans to prevent sticking instead of PAM or other nonstick spray

Fry Eggs - Coat the bottom of your skillet with coconut oil to create a non-stick surface and then add eggs.  Delicious!!

Popcorn Topping - Instead of butter, melt a little coconut oil and pour it over your popped popcorn. Then sprinkle lightly with Himalayan crystal salt.

Butter Replacement- Use coconut oil with sea salt on sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, etc.

Replace Vegetable Oil for Baking - Next time you make your favorite brownie, cookie, baked treat recipe, replace the vegetable oil with coconut oil.  (Healthy baking… right J)

Pan Frying - Next time you fry up a batch of sweet potato fries or a piece of chicken, use coconut oil.  (Use instead of soybean, canola oil, etc.)

Cook Pancakes- Use to ‘fry’ pancakes (Pamela’s Baking Mix)… they taste AMAZING!!

Coconut Oil in Coffee or Hot Tea- Adding a spoonful to your coffee/tea is a delicious way to start your day with a energy boost!

Spoonful in Soup- Add spoonful for added nutrition in your soup

On Toast Instead of Butter - Simply use coconut oil instead of butter on your toast
