*Note: It’s the Friday before a long weekend. I know lots of us are procrastinating enjoying time on the internet before the long weekend so I thought I’d post this today!
I’ve been thinking a lot about oil lately. No, not the BP oil spill! Cooking oil, to be precise. Many recipes call for olive oil, yet I know it has a low smoke point which apparently is bad. Olive oil is more for salads, pesto, etc. And then there’s canola oil. Did you know that canola is not the name of a plant, seed, etc.? It’s a genetically engineered plant of some sort.
I’ve been hearing a lot about coconut oil and wanted to give it a try. Lo and behold, Tropical Traditions offered me a FREE quart of it to try! I’ve been using it in stir fries and for scrambling eggs ever since, and although the jar is a bit messy to pour from, and it sort of solidified in the cute little jar I bought thinking that would help, it does work quite nicely for cooking.
The nice people at Tropical Traditions have also agreed to sponsor a giveaway! You too can enter to win a free quart of coconut oil by doing the following. Note that you need to submit a separate comment for each entry.
