My family has a history of heart disease on both sides. On my mother’s side, we suffer from high blood pressure and stroke and on my father’s side, heart attack and also blood pressure problems. As a result, taking care of our hearts is a serious priority for the members of my family. One of the ways that we have begun to make changes in our diets is by incorporating more heart-healthy meals and recipes. We were very surprised to see that soybean oil can be incorporated into many of our favorite Latin dishes while, at the same time, providing many heart-healthy benefits.
Many people don’t even know that they have soybean oil in their pantry already. As a matter of fact, most vegetable oil is soybean oil! It’s good for your heart because it has been shown to lower cholesterol levels when used in moderation. As one of the few non-fish sources of Omega-3 fatty acids, it is also a great source of Vitamin E which is essential to preventing cell damage that may lead to diseases such as cancer and heart disease. As a Survivor, these are health benefits that are important to me and to overall health of my family.
I love how versatile soybean oil is and it really can be incorporated into many of our traditional dishes without having to compromise taste. Also, since it is about the tenth of the cost of other competing oils, I don’t have to make a choice between not going over our grocery budget and having my family enjoy healthier meals. What could be better than knowing that you are helping to keep your family heart-healthy and saving money at the same time?
With the holidays right around the corner, there is no better time than the present to start planning your heart-healthy recipes using soybean oil. For more information on how to incorporate it into your favorite recipes, visit the soybean oil website. Here is one of my personal favorites:

I couyld use it to deep fry instead of using other oils and lard (hey thats how you make true southern fried chicken)
i dont really use a lot of oil in my cooking unless its some olive oil. on occasion though i do fry some chicken and i would use it then. while its not really healthy we only have it once in a while.
I could use it for frying fish and that would be alot healthier. I could also use it for eggs. I like soybean oil (I am in soybean country) and know the farmers who grow it!

I could replace the other oils that I usually use for sauteing and frying meat or fish or vegetables with soybean oil to really cut down the risk of heart disease
I rarely use any oil when cooking–and I tend to stay away from fried foods even when eating out. There are recipes I would like to try which I haven’t because of oil–maybe I will try using Soy oil in those recipes.
I would love to make some potstickers with the soybean oil and I think they would go perfectly with it. Our favorite in the house is olive oil and sunflower oil, so we have never used soybean before.
I’ve only really used olive oil (I’m Italian) when I cook, so I never really gave much thought to using other oils. This sounds like a little bit healthier, though.
I would use soybean oil instead of using vegetable oil when I make tacos for my family! There are so many uses for soybean oil!

I like the idea of finding different ways to cook with Soy. Who knew there was a soy oil? And that Crispy Rich Tacos With Kimchi Recipe looks so yummy
I would use soybean oil when I make chicken stir fry. I try not to use oil at all, but this would be a healthier alternative.

I would love to make some Soy Pumpkin Bread. They have some really great recipes on their site!
I never heard of soy oil. I would use when making stir fry or sauting veggies. Sounds like a healthier alternative to vegetable oil.
Thank you!
I entered the McCormick Spices Prize Pack-
You know what soy oil is good in? I make this sauce that we put over a spinach dish called gomae (spelling) I use soy oil in that and it is so good.
i never knew the was a soy oil ,but i would like to make the
Baked Rice Pudding it looks very easy
I make a squash fry dish that I suspect would be the perfect candidate for a soy oil makeover. It actually makes me want to try it right now! 🙂
I didn’t know there is such a thing as soy oil. This would be excellent to use in a stir fry dish.
I entered the Diversity On Demand giveaway.
Using ORGANIC soy products can give some meatless meals their protein. ORGANIC tofu can replace eggs in any omelet – just add mushrooms and what every else you love!
I entered Diversity on Demand.
I’d like to try it in my pancake recipe.
I could include soybean oil in veggie stir fry in order to try to keep my family heart-healthy
I don’t know why I was surprised to see this in a oil but it makes sense. Thank you for the recipe.
I would use this oil to make shrimp stir fry with veggies. I will also use it as a salad dressing
entered Diversity On Demand giveaway
I would use it in stir fry or as salad dressing base.
Recipes that I could include soybean oil are vegetable dip or chip dip. I just add soybean oil for more dip creaminess… Also, I use soybean oil in place of fattier oils in recipes. You can also use soybean oil in salad dressing.-Jessica M.
I use soybean oil instead of butter or shortening all over the place! Pie dough for one, not as hard as it might sound. Cookies, sauteing anything. I love it for salad dressing and making croutons! I like to use it for frying eggplant.
I hadn’t thought of using soybean oil I have to admit – I might have to look into it more now thank you 🙂 x
I would make a salad dressing out of it. I could also use soybean oil to do a chinese stir-fry.
We haven’t used soybean oil, will have to try it. The biggest thing we use oil for is to fry up homemade potato chips and french fries, so it would be easy enough to swap out the oils in our fryer.
I would use it to cook some steak. Currently I use coconut oil but would like to give soybea oil a try.
I will be perfectly honest and say that I have never heard of soybean oil. Now that I have, I need to check it out. My family is much like yours, heart issues run rampant. Anything that will help reduce those diseases is high on my list.
i really like to try to make veggie stir fry with it. i wanna start to eat better
Well I’m thinking that this would work great in the place of oil that I use for baking and breakfast foods. I bet it would work in my pancakes as well.
I didn’t know that most vegetable oil was soy oil. Honestly I’ve cut out a lot of vegetable oils out of our diet, but I may be interested in learning more about soy oil. Especially for baking.
Why not waffles?!
I would most likely try my stir fry in it and also would like to try popping popcorn in soy oil. My husband likes his pork chops fried and I would probably try that in it too.
I would probably use it to cook my chicken stir fry that I love so much!
I have never tried soybean oil but I bet it would work great for hushpuppies.
I think I’d like to try sauteeing my vegetables in soybean oil and see how that goes!
I just recently heard about the benefits of soybean oil and I’ve been quite excited to try it out. And that recipe looks fantastic!
I have never used anything but Soy Sauce but make sure mine is non-gmo. If I could find Non-GMO Soybean Oil I would consider it.
I’ve loved Soybean products since high school in the 70’s – the soybean burgers were the best thing on the menu. I will check out the product next time I grocery shop – thanks for sharing.
I have actually never used Soybean Oil before so it would be quite new to me. It does sound as healthy as my Olive and Coconut Oil that I currently use. Thanks for the giveaway as well. I can surely do with an extra $50. 🙂
I could make chicken stir fry. And I would like to try the Crispy Rich Tacos With Kimchi recipe from this post.

Also a rookie for the soybean oil, but I’d be happy to try it out on those tacos – they look delish!
I would use soybean oil to make stir frys. I also think it would be great on chicken.
I would use to saute my veggies and tofu. really try it in everything and see what is best.
thanks!
i have to wonder if there’s a non-Gmo option available for those of us who avoid GMO, and most of soy is GMO in the US
I hear it is so much better for you than traditional oils. I should use it more often. Thanks for a great giveaway.

umm some kind of chicken dish? not sure what I would make, but it would be chicken and maybe some veggies thrown in…

I could use it in sauteing vegetables. I could also try it with frying chicken.
I could use it when cooking/grilling my corn and beans. Not sure about using it for deep frying.

I would say stir frys and when I fry chicken – although I don’t use a whole lot of oil when I fry chicken – I use only what I have to to line the frying pan
One of my family’s go-to meals is stir-fry and I’m always looking for ways to improve the health of the quickie meal. Soybean oil would be great for that.
we like fried chicken once in a while (normally we bake it) and I think that using soybean oil instead of regular vegetable oil is a good substitute
I entered the Pounce giveaway.
We could change the oil on many of our recipes, fried chicken, tacos, country potatoes. Always looking for ways to be healthier.
I could use it on broiled veggies instead of veg. oil.

I have never used soybean oil before, but I would try using it in my chicken fried rice recipe. I think it would also be an interesting addition to roasted potato wedges.
I’ve never used or even heard of soy bean oil before!! Maybe It would be good for frying chicken or for use in place of vegetable oil.

for fried chicken
My recipe for zuchinni muffins calls for soybean oil.
We have a oil and red wine dressing that we put over spinach salad that I would be more than happy to substitute soybean oil for, also other items that we fry such as shrimp or hush puppies and items that we oil for grilling such as salmon I would love to try and substitute soybean oil for.

I think it’d be a good option for stir fry, sauteing, and I really don’t know what else. I think I’d just have to try it, tweak it, and then know how it works best with the heat. Or we could consult google and go from there.

I would use it in my lasagna toss. I could also use it in our fried chicken recipe and that would make it a lot healthier.

I’d use it for cooking chicken, but only if I could find an organic version. Genetically modified soybeans are not an option for my family.
First I would want to make sure it is not GMO. Then I would use it for frying chicken, stir fry or as a substitute for some of the oils I currently use. Taste makes a big difference so I would have to see what works best.
I could use this in stir frys and sautees as well as dressings for salads. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!
