*Product Spotlight*

One of our favorite brands of olive oil has to be O Olive Oil. This California organic olive oil (yes, there are surprisingly delicious olive oils from California...who knew?) comes in a number of flavors, as well as in gift sets. We love their lemon extra virgin olive oil.


*Also, their vinegars are quite amazing too! The port vinegar and California white balsamic vinegar are so very fresh and tangy.

What is your favorite O Olive Oil flavor?

Quick Salad Dressing

Ever read the list of ingredients on the back of a salad bottle? Pretty scary, right? We always make our own dressing at home. This one is one of our favorites to make---

Ingredients:
1/2 a shallot, diced (or garlic...depending on how stinky you want to be)
1 tbsp. of mustard
1/2 a lemon, juiced
good olive oil...a few tablespoons...add in slowly until mixture emulsifies.

Making Dressing:
Combine shallot, mustard, and lemon juice. Whisk in the olive oil.
