Somewhere on this site I read where someone mixed half butter and half coconut oil and then put into candy molds and refrigerated until firm. I did this and loved it. I am not a big fan of coconut taste but could definetly eat a lot of this.

[...] is a wonder food and I was thrilled to learn that Real Food Wednesdays was focusing on coconut this week. It’s flavorful, rich in nutrients and its oil is excellent for sautéeing and baking. [...]

I added to Mr Linky -- you can check out my adapted side-bread recipes for biscuits, cornbread and tortillas, all using coconut oil, at Kitchen Stewardship. All have a soaked option as well. I use the unrefined, and I swear, you can't taste it in the final product (unless maybe you're really sensitive to it). Katie’s last blog post..Why I have empty Ziplocs in my fridge

Katie, I had forgotten that Nina Planck said that! Yay! Now we can’t eat Tilapia (which I love) without worry.

You can find line-caught salmon at Heffron Farms in the GR area (although they're pricey!), and remember that even Nina Planck in Real Food says that farm-raised tilapia is the way to go for that particular fish. My husband just gave me the go-ahead to cook fish too, and tilapia is the only one he can stomach. It's very mild, but at least it's fish! Harvest Health has inexpensive, plain old flaked coconut - organic even - no yucky stuff. Can't wait to join the next carnival!

Hey, I’ve even got some sourdough starter in the frig! Thanks!

Sourdough Pancakes
1 cup of sourdough starter (my starter is fed 3/4 cups of water and one cup of flour, so it’s the thinner type of starter)
2 cups of water
2 1/2 cups of whole grain flour
3 large eggs
4 tablespoons of maple syrup, honey, maple sugar, or rapadura (optional)
1/4 cup of coconut oil, or melted butter
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of salt
3 to 24 hours before you want to eat, combine in a large bowl the starter, water, and flour. Make sure that you have plenty of room for this mixture to rise. If it is a very hot day, beware of leaving it too long as it will ferment very quickly. I usually make this up the night before, for breakfast, or the morning of, for dinner. In colder weather, I have done this recipe for up to 24 hours.
After the soaking period, add the rest of the ingredients, and combine well. A whisk is helpful. If you want thinner pancakes you can thin with water (or milk). Drop about 1/4 of a cup of the batter on a lightly oiled hot griddle (over medium to medium-high heat) until the the top is set, and the bottom lightly browned. Flip the pancake and cook until the pancake is lightly browned on the other side. Repeat until all of the batter is used, re-oiling the pan as needed.
Serve with real maple syrup, butter, or a fruit topping and whipped cream.

Thank you for doing coconut oil recipes this week. I was just fixin’ to write and ask you where I could get some good recipes to increase my intake of coconut oil. I have been trying out the “Eat Fat Lose Fat” diet and just cannot do the oil in the tea thing before meals. It does fill you up, but I just can’t bring myself to do it. I’ve already made someone’s candy to try (can’t remember who since I just finished browsing through all of the links). I’ll be kept busy with all the variety of recipes. Thanks again!

Debbie, if you drink a little cream in your coffee it’s not as noticeable that there is oil floating on the top. I either take a little cream off my raw milk or use a dribble of whole/whipping cream. I drink about half a cup first with cream and about 2 teaspoons coconut oil. Then enjoy another cup as I normally would. Just a thought to help get the spoonful of “medicine” go down!!
