Using Coconut Oil without the strong island flavor:

Ok, so my mother-in-law sent me a link to a very popular health and fitness blog, & as I was taking more and more interest in what the blogger had to say, I stumbled across something that sounds pretty awesome...Coconut Ghee. When cooking with the 'oh so healthy' coconut oil, your dish will have a rather coconutty flavor..& that's okay if that's what you're going for BUT I like my asparagus to taste like asparagus. SO, this blogger has the solution.

Ghee by itself is unsalted butter minus the carbohydrates (lactose) & the protein (casein). You can buy the stuff but according to this blogger, it's very expensive so he suggests making it yourself. Once you make the Ghee, you mix it with coconut oil and viola! You've got Coconut Ghee which doesn't have the strong taste of coconut but still all of the healthy packed goodness of it. I have placed the link at the bottom of this post so you can see for yourself step by step how to make this stuff. Sounds very healthy and pretty amazing, I intend to make some. I'll keep you all posted on what I think about it. :)

Before it all begins...

i'd like to start off by saying that I am not a writer. I have terrible grammar and punctuating skills, so please, forgive me.

This blog is meant to be a means to all sorts of things in my life..from improving my writing abilities to everything else I need to be held accountable for. Writing this blog will do just that, hold me accountable..if I have followers that is. I know that now that I've begun to type here on this screen, I can't stop..I'd let us both down.

So, now for me to lay out the obvious main objective here which is the goal to lose weight. By "goal", I mean-I have to do it or you guys can point and laugh at me- & who the hell wants that? Aside from me blogging about my trials and tribulations of weight loss, I intend to discuss other matters which may or may not interest you. I will do my best to separate the topics as to not waste your precious time with non-sense that you don't give a damn about. Oh, and I hope I will manage to squeeze a giggle or a laugh out of you from time to time...because, I do indeed consider myself to be hilarious..so LOL all the way. HAHA
