It’s January, the beginning of a new year, and the time that most of us make resolutions. Many people will attempt to diet and lose weight, just like they have in the years before, but in a few months they’ll give up again because diets don’t work. Why not forget about making resolutions and instead make an effort to change our life styles to becoming more healthy? A healthy life style means eating more fruits and vegetables, controlling fat intake, controlling portions, and exercising more.
A few years ago, I learned about a flavorful alternative to use in place of butter or cooking oils. It is Coconut Oil. In 2011 when I helped a friend relearn how to cook to accommodate food allergies, Coconut Oil became even more valuable in my pantry. As I did research about Coconut Oil, I was fascinated with all of the research that indicated its many health benefits. When I blogged about using it to create vegan ice cream, Kelapo Coconut Oil noticed me and asked if I would mind sharing some of my recipes that feature Coconut Oil. I was delighted to accommodate them, and for the next six months I'll be featuring a recipe every month that uses Coconut Oil.
