I love Father's Day. Just about as much as I love Mother's Day. It's a day to reflect and celebrate just how awesome the dads in our lives are. And I have quite a few! Not only do I have my own father and step father but I also have my husband and father-in-law to celebrate as well.

These four men are always looking out for me in more ways than one. And even though they all play a different role in my life, they're each as important as the other. In celebration of all fathers out there I've joined this awesome giveaway hop from Mama to 4 Blessings and am giving away a product we've come to love in this home... Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil!

 

Win 1 quart of Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil!

Coconut Oatmeal with Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil {Breakfast Recipe}

We're always trying to find great alternatives to classic favorites in this home. Since my daughter consistantly eats oatmeal for us for breakfast we wanted to continue our luck with the one meal we know she'll finish. So when I received my Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil I knew exactly what I'd to do try it out... put it in our oatmeal!

When I was done making the first batch of coconut oatmeal I went into the fridge to grab the kids some milk for their sippy cups. I looked over and saw an open package of mini chocolate chips from my husbands latest baking adventure so I grabbed the bag and sprinkled a few chocolate chips over the top of each bowl for an added treat. OMG! This oatmeal tasted exactly like my favorite chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. Delicious!

I cannot wait to start using Tropical Traditions coconut oil in other recipes. Added benefit? We can use it as cloth diaper friendly diaper cream too! Who knew? Plus there are so many other ways to use this stuff. Go here to find more!

Coconut Oatmeal

• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon Tropical Traditions coconut oil
