Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil- review and recipe & chance to win $200

I love to cook. I love to try new foods and recipes. There are always some ingredients I always have in stock in my cabinet and Olive Oil is one of them. Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil is one of the best olive oils on the market! I use it alot.

Olive Oil is a healthier alternative to the other fatty oils out there. It is wonderful for frying, sauteing,a great substitutes for butter. I use it alot for frying up my breaded foods like fish, chicken and even vegetable because it gives my foods a light golden color and crisp without the nasty greasy taste. It is wonderful! I also use it to make Scampi which is heavenly. My moms favorite is when I take the Olive Oil and season it up with some garlic and rosemary to dip bread in.
