Tropical Traditions Green Label Virgin and Expeller-Pressed organic coconut oils — review
April 27, 2012 | Posted by eryn under Cooking, Natural Living, Organic, Paleo, Product Reviews |
If you read my blog, you know that we rely heavily on coconut oil in our cooking. Since we try to avoid dairy products, we don’t use butter in our cooking or baking much any longer. And we consider it a healthier option than olive oil, which used to be my go-to cooking oil. But…

We love almond butter, and we go through a lot of it. It’s not unheard of for us to go through more than 50 oz. in a week! I was first introduced to almond butter by my husband when we first started dating. One of his favorite snacks at the time was a sliced apple…

These would also be great cooked in an iron skillet, but we have a ceramic cooktop, so no more iron skillets for us. We gave up non-stick pans ages ago because of…
