1/3 C of water
3 Tbsp chili powder, more if desired
2 tsp molasses
¾ tsp cumin
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp black pepper
1½ C canned kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1½ C canned black beans
1 jalapeno pepper (optional), diced
Directions:
Heat oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic until softened. Stir in next 8 ingredients and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to medium low and simmer 15 minutes.

Prep Time: 10 min.
Cook Time: 45 mi
Ingredients:
¼ C coconut oil
¼ C extra virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp water
¼ C apple cider vinegar
½ tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
Directions:
Shake all ingredients in a jar and let stand for 1 hour before refrigerating.
The oil will harden in the fridge, but let it sit out or place it in a jar and put it in hot water for a few minutes. Because of the olive oil in this recipe, it should not harden on your cold salad.
Makes 1 cup
Ingredients:
1 egg
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
½ Tbsp prepared mustard
¼ tsp paprika
¼ tsp salt
1¼ C melted coconut oil
Directions:
Blend the first 5 ingredients plus ¼ C of the coconut oil for 60 seconds. While machine is running, pour in the remaining oil very slowly in a fine, steady stream.
Each Tbsp of the mayo will have about ½ Tbsp coconut oil. If you have been using coconut oil, you will know that this will harden in the fridge; just let it sit at room temperature half an hour or so to soften. Use within several days. The texture is best when freshly made.
Makes 1½ cups
If you read no other review READ MINE. 
I am a 34 year old self-employed business-owner with a 20-month old baby. I was a marathon runner until I had my first (and only) baby at 32 years old and after he was born, I was diagnosted with hypothyroidism. My TSH was 10.3. I ended up in the ER 2 times in the last 12 months due to being unable to regulate my med’s.
I went to a specialist and was on 27 pills a day (mostly suppliments). I heard about coconut oil and decided I had NOTHING to lose. I was already considering shutting down my business because I had no energy to run it. I have the most severe case of thyroid problems I have ever heard about and by adding one tablespoon of coconut oil to a hemp protein shake in the morning, I am practically healed.
I have done this protien shake for 5 weeks and I am almost back to myself. EVERYONE has noticed the change. I took my little boy to the zoo 2 days ago and walked around for 3 hours. If you have thyoid problems, you know hwo miraculous this is. I am sleeping through the night again and I am thinking about exercising again. I am still a little apprehensive about running- I have been unable to run for soooo long now. But that is my next major goal.
You HAVE to try this. I have told everyone I know with thyroid problems. Truthfully, I would have eaten lard if I thought it would make be better; that is how discouraged and desparate I was to get my life back. This is sooo easy and worth ever penney. And if you melt it, you will barely notice the flavor in your shake.
I use it to cook now- Anytime my recipe calls for olive oil; I use coconut oil. I hope my testimony inspires you. God made food great all by itself and we have added so much garbage to our diets. I am getting back to the basics now.

I just bought this wonderful Nutiva coconut oil after hearing Dr. Jonny Bowden talk about coconut oil and all the benifits it contains. This has got to be the most delectable on the planet it smells like heaven and tastes sooooo good. I bake and cook with it, and after reading all the rave reviews about it being used as butter and on the hair and skin I will never buy anything but this again. Bye Bye Crisco, hello Nutiva.
So many uses!!!

I just ‘wow’ed my co-workers with brownies made with coconut oil; chocolate and coconut go together so well. I’ve had limited success using it for psoriasis scars, but have only recently been using it daily, so we’ll see. I must be honest and admit I originally got a small jar of this for a personal lubricant for my wife and I. Coconut oil has been used in other countries to treat infections (down there) and after using this my wife has not experienced any of the issues which she was experiencing. We even tried glycerin free lubricants, to no avail. Additionally, I have seen good improvement in my nail fungus after incorporating it into my diet, which was getting worse but at least in my fingertips, is now almost completely gone. I’ve read that coconut oil has anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties and at least for me, it appears to be working.
This particular brand is advertised as cold pressed, not heated or chemically derived (using hexane), which is certainly desired. If things keep going the way they are going, I’m going to have this brand of coconut oil in the house at all times.
