@ Natalie, I use it on toast like butter and then a little jam. Delicious. Also in cooking where I would use olive oil or butter. When I really splurge, it's coconut oil, peanut butter then jam or honey .... Yumm I keep it on the counter, in the frigde it gets hard like a rock, so I stop using it in the hot months when it goes from solid to liquid.

Thanks for the idea Anna! Wonder if it could be used to make popcorn on the stove? Love this thread!

Absolutely, it is a very healthy oil to cook with and does not have a strong flavor. If you are not familiar with Dr. Mercola's website on alternative medicine, including an excellent veterinary section for pets, it is one of the best: http://www.mercola.com/

I love the cocanut/peanut butter and jam...toast is what I have for breakfast so I guess I'll have to go shopping.

Thanks for the idea Anna!

I melted some coconut oil the other day in the microwave and then added it to boiling water for pasta. I usually use olive oil so the noodles dont stick.

One way I use it is in my tea. I put about a teaspoon of it in my tea and it melts into a nice lip moisturizer. ;) Plus it adds a nice coconut flavor!
