Coconut Oil

Do you ever pick up a list of ingredients for a recipe and end up with one of them you never use again? ((I’m lookin’ at you lemon curd!))

My mom and I were talking on the phone the other day and I realized she had one of those ingredients on her hands. Coconut oil.

The thing is…I use massive amounts of coconut oil, ‘cause I like popcorn. So here’s my quick tip I shared with her, and now I’m sharing it with you… if you’ve never tried coconut oil for popcorn, give it a whirl. Especially if you have it sitting around from another recipe. It adds a little something to the flavor. Once I tried it, I never went back. Plus, a quick internet search shows it has tons of other uses.

(Oh, and if you couldn’t tell, this tip is for the folks who like to make popcorn on the stove top or with some device that requires oil.)
