We just bought some for the first time; at a birthday party last week, a friend of a friend brought sweet potatoes baked in coconut oil. Neither of us have ever liked sweet potatoes but we each tried a piece and it was amazing! So we got some coconut oil and are going to try that this week. We don't have any other ideas on what to do with it though. I know we can cook with it like we do olive oil but it's more expensive to use that way...<br>Aaron also wanted me to point you in the direction of this: http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2007/03/15/how-to-make-your-own-laundry-detergent-and-save-big-money/ <br>We make this laundry detergent and it has saved us a ton of money. I'm sure you do lots more laundry than we do but unless you're really attached to a brand of laundry soap, this is basically the same ingredients as commercial soap for a lot cheaper. He says to use about a cup a load but we never use that much and our clothes come out clean. The washing soda was the hardest thing for me to find; the rest was easy. We use fragrance-free dove for the bar soap; I tried it with cheap Dial and my clothes made my skin itch. Anyway we do a lot of this stuff (make bread at home, etc.) so I can't wait to see what you come up with! I love finding out new things! :)Aaron and Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16544776404689072360noreply@blogger.com
