Compared to butter, coconut oil (virgin, unprocessed) has been found to have a myriad of health benefits. Grumblebee may want to do a little reading before basing her opinion solely on the fact it's classified as a "saturated" fat. -
Completely agree with fluffitude! Coconut has so many benefits! Sometimes in this life, you need to weigh the good and the bad, and with coconut oil there is so much good! -

I am not sure why anyone would make this normally. coconut oil's fat is almost entirely the saturated kind... it has even more saturated fat than butter! while this recipe is something one could use in a pinch to stretch their regular butter, i would not use this normally or outside of an "emergency" (where i'm running low on butter)

Still in West Virginia but we've moved a few miles away, down to the county capitol. It's a compromise: bigger than our last town but smalelr than the "big city" of Cumberland MD, right up the road. Jobs are not that plentiful here so I am fortunate to be able to work at home (I'm a writer). My passion is cooking and feeding people family well....my pet peeve is the family court systems in America......my love is for emergency medicine and the people that make survival in a crisis possible
