Coconut used to have a bad rap but we have come to learn that coconut oil is the miracle food/supplement! Take it orally, lather it on your dry skin, the possibilities are endless!

I actually prefer my dairy-free recipe for COCONUT CAKE (similar to the Birthday Cake on blog) using coconut oil in cookbook over the Vanilla Butter Cake using butter. The light coconut taste is just yummy! If I am not seeking coconut flavor, I will use expeller pressed coconut oil.
Over half of the recipes in my cookbook are dairy-free. This is easily achieved by using coconut oil in the place of butter. I am always looking for ways to incorporate coconut oil into my recipes!
Besides how good it taste, here are a few more reasons to add coconut oil to your diet (or skin):
