Health Tip Tuesday: Coconut Oil

Ahh coconut oil.....where do I start. Well the thing is there's not really any place to start, there is so many great things about this oil! http://www.organicfacts.net/organic-oils/organic-coconut-oil/health-benefits-of-coconut-oil.html check out this article on it, and its many benefits.

This is the kind that I buy. I was reluctant at first because it was $11 for this tub but I finally took the plunge and bought it. I'm amazed at how long it has lasted us. We mostly use it for cooking instead of olive or vegetable oil (these turn into hydrogenated oils once heated which aren't healthy). To every 3 tbsp of olive oil, you only need maybe 1 tbsp of coconut oil. 
On a different note, here is Wren enjoying herself while daddy picks apples.

She nibbled through a whole one apparently.
