I think the first real healthy change I made was switching to real butter many years ago - before I had read anything about how bad margarine is - it just made sense to me that butter is all natural and that just HAD to be better than chemicals.

Ha! My husband and I were talking just this morning about how so many people--women especially, I'm afraid--still think low-fat=healthy. I tend towards hypoglycemia myself and I feel MUCH better on a high-fat, low carb eating plan. I am absolutely addicted to coconut oil and these homemade "paleo" energy bars.

We are not perfect either lol we love the occasional deep fried food but we are going to start checking frying with real lard. But otherwise use butter or coconut oil and i dress most everything with EVOO.

@DoleValleyGirl Those muffins look scrumptious!

I'm sharing the healing benefits of Ginger, how to make your own candied ginger, and one of my favorite recipes that uses ginger.

I love baking with coconut oil and butter. Yep, that's right! Pure, wonderful, good-for-you fats!

I'm sharing a recipe for maple oatmeal muffins that my daughter and I baked up on Monday as part of our year-long "Muffin Monday" adventure. We find recipes we want to try and convert/modify them to use ingredients (like coconut oil and butter) that feed our bodies rather than harm them. You can find all our recipes on our blog under the "Muffin Monday" tab.

Thanks for hosting! ~Lisa@HappyinDoleValley

I love cooking with coconut oil! It's my go-to for baked goods now, too. I think the fact that it's pricy makes me view what I cook with it as precious, which also helps me eat smaller portions ;)
