If 2017's health buzz was going gluten-free, then 2018 has got to be the year of MCT oil and butter in your coffee.

When I first found out about MCT oil, it sounded like my new favorite health food.

• Burn fat? Check.
• Good for the gut? Check.
• Finally putting to rest the lie that fat made you fat? Check!

Then I started to wonder how labs were able to naturally extract pure MCT oil without somehow modifying its natural structure.

Watch this video for a complete rundown on MCT oil. It will help you understand what it is, how it's made, and whether or not you should be adding this to your daily smoothies/coffee/tea/green juice.

Weekly Cookup: Where I share my weekly batch cooking plan so you save time and follow my lead

My Mom’s Pasta - growing up, at least once a week my mother would make this pasta dish with fresh mozzarella, pine nuts, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and pasta. It was dairy-gluten goodness. Now I use spaghetti squash and chicken thighs and cut the mozzarella. If you are seriously missing the cheese, add some Parmesan Reggiano on top!

Cod Tacos - avocado, salsa, slaw, and baked cod with Mexican spices

Sausage, Kale, and White Bean Soup - I use bone broth for this recipe to make it extra nourishing

Meatballs, Crispy Potatoes, and Greens smothered in Romesco Sauce - make extra sauce, you can use it for every other thing!
