Hi, everyone! Hope you are well. I bought coconut oil and put it in my coffee, but most days I forget to add it. I can remember years ago when US experts were telling us not to buy any processed food that contained coconut oil because they said it was unhealthy. Said not to eat any fats that were hard at room temperature or something like that. Why are we putting coconut oil in our coffee? I could google it, but if we discuss it here, it would help us all. Thanks and have a great day!

Directions:
Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add broccoli slaw and 1/2 cup water.
