Today we’re looking at the various cooking oils and how to use them. There are many options readily available when you go to the store, so it’s important to know which oil is best for the task at hand. Each has a distinct flavor and you’ll want to know the smoke point ahead of time too. Heating an oil higher than recommended will fill up your house with smoke, mess up dinner, and turn the oil into a health hazard as the fats in it start to break down.

There are lots more oil options than what’s listed below, but here are some of the most popular choices:

• Olive Oil (refined/light)

USES: all purpose, roasting, sautéing, use instead of cooking spray, grilling, broiling

SMOKE POINT: 465°F


• Extra Virgin Olive Oil

USES: drizzling, dressings, strong flavor

SMOKE POINT: 325-375°F

• Sesame Oil

USES: marinades, dressings, drizzle over finished dishes, stir fry, strong flavor

SMOKE POINT: 410°F

    Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years.   My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday.  Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change.   Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds.  I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons.  Something was missing.  I was thin, but I wasn't fit.  I wasn't healthy.  I could feel it in my insides.  I was 136 pounds and a size 8.  Something didn't add up.   I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods.  90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4). 
     
    Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it.  I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health.  My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

    December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born.  Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you.   Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN.  Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose. 

    Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business.  Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at amanda@simplypreppedmeals.com
