:o This sounds really good!
Is cooking with coconut oil odd? I've usually stuck with canola oil for cooking as a healthy alternative. I guess it might just be odd to me since I use coconut oil in a lot of my beauty regimes an a lot of my diy soaps and moisturizers. I suppose since I have it laying around I could give it a try myself!

my advice is to switch fully from canola to coconut for almost all your oil needs... but not before you do the research.
it shud take you no more than 2 hours on the net to set you up right on the oils issue.
coconut for cooking and a vast range of other uses. Olive oil for salads and raw dishes and other positive uses. but do not cook Olive oil. the heat will turn it into your enemy

Thanks I'll have to give that a try and look into it. I've always heard olive oil was best for cooking as it was better for you, but I guess I probably was wildly misinformed. I'll give it a look loo and try cooking something with it tomorrow instead of regular oil ☺
That does sound really good. I like garlic so I'd probably add 4 cloves to that as long as it doesn't take away from the flavor. Too much salt is not good, but I agree with switching from canola to coconut oil. Coconut oil is way healthier than canola. Olive oil is ok, but I only use it for side dishes and things not cooked or added after. Maybe a little cayenne pepper to your dish would be good?
when I could eat bread I would either make my won white bread..or buy them fresh from a bakery that made good subs..then I would toast them and spread my own garlic butter on the toast..
garlic butter made from finely chopped and toasted garlic in coconut oil, toss in even more finely finely chopped green onion when the oil is off the heat. then add more coconut oil..and a lesser portion of olive oil.
then chill that potion and it thickens into a spreadable butter with the coconut oil. you have the combined fine flavors of green onions, garlic and olive oil on toast.
and when the sub bread is fresh, just out of the oven it is just as tremendous just like that..as delicious as when toasted. and even more tremendous if you have some organic black forest ham and other quality organic meats.
for the Muslims among us slices of organic roast beef, tomato slices and lettuce..and harvati or old tart cheddar cheese
