TUNE IN TO TODAY’S FAMILY FOOD SUMMIT PODCAST FEATURING
During her interview, Tracy reminds us how important it is to look at the big picture. “How did we do towards our food goals this week”. Rather, than harping over the day-to-day. We also chat about how picky eating can be a power struggle. I love how she and her husband bring the “be your own chef” empowerment to their son during taco night. Here’s a little bit more about Tracy.

Toasted Coconut Popcorn
(2 votes, average: 1.00 out of 5)
Loading...
- Yield: 16 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut flakes
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/2 cup yellow popcorn kernels
- a few pinches sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spread coconut flakes on a baking sheet. Bake for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Set aside.
- Place a 3 quart saucepan (or Whirley Pop) over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons coconut oil and popcorn kernels to the pan. Close the lid and move pot back and forth (or whirl around!) on the stove and pop the popcorn until you start to hear the popping slow down. Remove from the stove. When popping stops, stir remaining tablespoon coconut oil until well combined. Put half the popcorn in a large bowl. Sprinkle with toasted coconut and sea salt, mix well and top off with the remaining popcorn and coconut. Serve immediately.
Notes
- If you’re looking to cut down fat, you can use 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil when you’re popping the popcorn.
