I have been using coconut oil for some time now. I use coconut oil in my soaps. It is the perfect soap making oil. It gives soap a great nourishing lather and makes a hard bar. Until recently I didn't know you could cook with coconut oil (I'm a little slow). Tropical Traditions sent me a jar of their Gold Label virgin coconut oil to try out. If you have never heard of coconut oil before check out this link: What is Coconut oil?
The oil smells lovely! Not overpowering, just a hint of coconut. For my first foray into the world of cooking with coconut oil I picked what I thought was a fairly easy recipe. Tropical Traditions has a ton of coconut oil recipes on their website and I picked a soft pretzel recipe. The recipe was fairly easy. I had to melt the coconut oil a little since it does harden in cool weather. I tried my best to make a pretzel shape but I failed miserably. They looked a mess but they really did taste like a pretzel! They were fantastic but next time I think I'll make pretzel knots or something easier for my inexperienced hands. I didn't detect any hint of coconut in the pretzels and they were nice and moist!

Yes, I use it daily. I mix it with cocoa powder and put it over banana soft serve. It's like magic shell.
I have never used coconut oil but am eager to give it a try. I also heard it's great as a moisturizer since it isn't supposed to clog pores. Sounds like an all around great product to at least try.
I use it for everything!!
Yes, I love using coconut oil!
Yes, we started using it recently in my son's food and on his cloth-diapered bum!

I have not used it yet, but I am really interested, especially since I put the kabash on lard and shprtening last year.
Nice giveaway. Thanks. I've used coconut oil in the past to cook with in a couple recipes.
Two days ago, I made my first purchase of coconut oil. It was just a small trial size. I've already mixed it with eucalyptus essential oil for a chest rub for my coughing child, and also as a lotion for me. Oh, and I love the taste - just a hint of coconut flavor in the aftertaste!
I have used Coconut Oil in Stir Fry.
