Tropical Traditions~ Virgin Coconut Oil *Review and #Giveaway* US & Canada! 11/28

I have seen Tropical Traditions products on numerous blogs with great reviews and I couldn't help but be curious. I contacted Tropical Traditions to request a product for review so I could see for myself. I was sent a 32 oz jar of Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil for review. I had never used coconut oil before so I did some research and found some great recipes in their coconut oil recipe section.

My family loves carrots so I tried out the Coconut Oil Sauteed Carrot recipe.

It was super easy to make and only requires a few ingredients. The coconut oil melts almost instantly and is ready to be cooked in, in no time. I served this as a side with tilapia and rice and it was a big hit. The coconut oil left a hint of sweet coconut flavor. It was delish!

I have been substituting butter with coconut oil.(glad I made the switch, by the way!) I made fried eggs with my coconut oil, pancakes and more. I created two delicious recipes I would like to share with you.

Recipe #1~ Coconut Chicken with Onions

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless Chicken Thighs, cut into small pieces
• 1 med Onion, thinly slices
• 1/2 cup Worcestershire
• 2 tbs Soy Sauce
• 2tbs Coconut Oil
• pinch of Salt
• pinch of Pepper
• pinch of Adobo

Easy Cooking Instructions

• Melt Coconut Oil in large saucepan
• Add Chicken and all other ingredients
• Cook on Medium-High heat for 20 minutes stirring occasionally
• Cover and simmer for 10 minutes
• Serve on white rice

I am very happy with how this meal turned out. I love adding my coconut oil to my dishes because I love the hint of coconut it leaves in the flavor. Absolutely delicious!

Recipe #2~ Vanilla Coconut Pancakes with Strawberries

Ingredients

• 2 cups easy pancake mix ( I used Hungry Jack)
• 1 & 1/4 cups water
• about 3 tbs Coconut Oil
• 1/4 cup Vanilla Syrup ( I used Davinci)
• 4 Large Strawberries

Super Easy Cooking Instructions

• Mix together pancake mix, water and syrup
• Heat Coconut Oil in a large saucepan
• Pour pancake mix into pan to create desired size pancake
• Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all pancake mix is finished
• Once all pancakes are finished, top with diced strawberries

With the above recipes, I have created two new favorites in this house. Thanks to Tropical Traditions and their delicious Coconut Oil! Now that I have tried this amazing oil, I know why all of their reviews are great ones! I am looking forward to trying more of their products!
