Right off the bat "Upholstering my headboard" - That just set the tone of my one track mind.
And that Watermelon crawl, wow, haven't thought of that in years.
This was hard to do! Thanks for doing it :-).
You are like the 20th person to tag me for this one. I better DO IT!! :)
Dude, Andy got me Twilight for mother's day. I can't wait for the next movie.
I actually really like Curious George and often distract from other less interesting shows (Diego) with him. Plus, I'm all for teaching science to kids.
Very random to leave an answer to your question here, but, well... I suppose it's as good a place as any. :)
Why coconut oil in my recipes?
First of all, you could certainly use dairy free margarine instead of the coconut oil in baking. They are pretty much interchangeable, however, I have yet to find a good DF margarine without all the bad trans fats. If you do a quick search on the health benefits of coconut oil I think you'll be impressed. I know I was! :)
So really I have two reasons for switching to coconut oil (which has only happened this year): 1) no trans fats and 2) added health benefits. Sometimes the coconut taste also enhances a recipe. (Sometimes it doesn't, though.)
Sorry to take up so much comment space. :) Thanks for swinging by my blogs. I hope you are able to adapt some of my recipes for your family. Please feel free to stop by anytime and ask questions.
Nice to meet you!

Ok, I just realized you were asking about the sweet potato fries and coconut oil. :) For that recipe I would suggest olive oil if you didn't want to use coconut oil.
Let me know if you try them. :)
Deanna....
I am supremely shocked at the carnage going over at that place you sent me.
Moose are animals.
We are hunted.
*sniff, sniff*
