Hi everyone,
Today I'm going to talk about a new discovery of mine: coconut oil. Although it's an oil, it's actually somewhat solid at room temperature due to its level of saturated fat. In the past, coconut oil was shunned because of it's saturated fats, but a slew of new studies is proving that this oil actually plays a great role in optimum health.

I'm trying to eat more healthy and incorporate tofu into my meals. Lately I have been trying to use more coconut in my meals as well, even though it's not necessarily the most healthy item to include. And being the "bad" person I am, I feel that since I am using tofu I should be able to use coconut and even it out.

In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, cream the granulated sugar, agave nectar with 1/4 pound (1 stick) of the butter.
With the mixer running, add the oil in a steady stream. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Sift the flour and baking soda together into a medium-size mixing bowl.

This is pretty easy and tasty. (I've tweaked the original a bit) I generally make double batch as it freezes well.
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
½ cup finely diced yellow onion
1 heaping tsp.
