The good people at Tropical Traditions sent me a sample of their Virgin Coconut Oil. Wow! Not only do they offer amazing deals on their products, they also provide super recipes for you to try.

Before I get started on any new recipes I decided to try one of my favorites. My favorite tweaked dessert so far is Mary's Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies. I just made these cookies with coconut oil and chocolate chips and they are better than ever!
Now that's my kinda stuff!
