First and foremost, I know my first question was
!? Fortunately, I was able to head on over to the website to gain some insight (and education) on what coconut oil is and how it is produced.

Once I received my jar of
, I had no idea how to begin using it! I had never heard of coconut oil prior and surely did not know how to use it! So again, off I went to the

Fortunately for me, I had to make an Easter cake for a celebration tomorrow (yes, a week early, but there were circumstances that required a celebration early).

I have to admit, I was a little worried that it may alter the taste of the cake, but let me tell you… hubby and I taste tested a piece of my cake (

Even while the cake was cooking, hubby could not stop talking about the smell from the coconut oil cooking. Heavenly!

What I love best is that the

I can not share my enthusiasm enough! I wish you could taste the cake! You would be sold!
