More food opinion wanted: Butter vs Coconut oil
Coconut oil seems to be the new "in" food. I've been thinking about using it as a substitute for butter or sometimes olive oil when I cook. I LOVE butter and go through a lot of it. So it seems like a good plan to try something different sometimes.
Coconut oil is a saturated fat, but there is an argument that it's a different saturated fat because of the kinds of fats in it. There are websites that go on about it's anticancer, anti-arthritis, weight loss, etc. properties. I've looked at the pros and cons and have no idea. Opinions?

Catrin, have you ever tried roasted walnut oil for mayo? I just picked up some (along with some avocado oil), and I'm looking for fun ways to use them.
Ive made it with regular walnut oil which was pretty good. I prefer either hazelnut or avocado but I wouldnt hesitate to use walnut if that is what I had on hand. I bet roasted walnut oil would be yummy!
