The benefits of coconut oil are controversial but hey, it's a simple ingredient that is not processed. Coconut oil has many uses; good to rub all over your skin, shines the hair (I know it's good but makes mine just greasy) and one does need to eat some fat, better to get it from a coconut than bacon grease. Avocados are a great source of Omega 3 fats and are just yummy.
I'm trying to consume more coconut oil for various health reasons. I put a couple tablespoons in my smoothies and the new rage is in coffee. It does taste good, but I'll stick to black. My favorite is popping popcorn on the stove in coconut oil...the possibilities are endless.

Serves 1
Three simple ingredients:
1 avocado, smashed
2 T. coconut oil

Combine and mixa mixa mixa, presto you've got it.
I used cauliflower to dip it in. It was awesome.
If only bacon grease were a healthy fat.
Let me know if you make this and if you thought it was yummy!
What good fats do you eat?
Trying to keep life simple is a challenge. It's easy to become too busy and lose sight of living. Favorite things that occupy of my time are: my husband, five cool kids, family, living a rural Catholic faith, eating, health and running. I hope to blog about keeping my life simple and share random thoughts. My hope is that the reader will enjoy the posts and take something from them to help simplify their life and make it more meaningful. Here's to the simple life...
