Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Giveaway and Review

I have an exciting post for today...

A Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil Giveaway!
Here is why I think it is exciting:

~You might win something!  (I love winning giveaways.)
~ The prize is useful - It is very easy to use food and I am sure that you or (probably and) your family eat.
~It tastes great! I love the subtle flavor it adds to granola and stuff like that.
~It smells really good. Cheap coconut oil doesn't have much of a smell but this stuff smells really, really good!
~It is good for you. It is a natural and real food.
~ You can use it for things other than eating like: making toothpaste, deodorant, lotion bars, lip balm, soap and poultices - and I am sure more things that I have never tried- I would love to hear how you like to use it.

 

Tropical Traditions very kindly sent me a 32 oz. jar (and it comes in glass jars which my mother-in-law - an expert in health food- says is best) of coconut oil to try out.

 

 

Here are some of the ways we enjoyed using it:

~On our popcorn instead of butter. Here is another place to enjoy that subtle flavor.

~Making "Caramel Corn". My simple recipe is to use either 1/2 cup of butter or coconut oil, melt that and then add 1/2 cup of honey (another fun way to use our own honey) and stir that over 4 quarts of popped corn. Then toast it in the oven at 350 degrees until they turn golden brown. It is pretty quick and easy, uses natural ingredients and is a good treat when you need to serve someone with gluten, dairy and/or nut allergies.

~Making Granola Bars. I love this quick and easy no-bake recipe:

Combine: 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/3 cup honey and 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (it becomes solid if it is cool).
Then mix in: 1 c. oatmeal and 1/2 cup coconut and then 1/2 - 3/4 cup or so of any mixture (or just one) of the following: Sesame seeds, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, raisins, wheat germ, wheat bran, ground flax seeds, sunflower seeds, etc.

Put in an 8 X 8 pan and cool in the fridge. Cut when cool.

~Making Granola.

~Making Biscuits.

and much more. I even ate a spoonful or so plain. :-)

Here is a video that shows even more ways you can use it:
