“I don’t know about all you guys, but quarantine cooking at our house has two extremes – either 6 hours of extravagant meal prep OR takeout in PJ’s. I’ve found that using high quality flavored olive oils and balsamics is a great way to add flavor to your seasonal grilling and cooking without spending additional hours in the kitchen!” Harpreet from All Things Preet. She’s a food and lifestyle blogger from Charlotte who was inspired to create a few new recipes and share them with us. ⠀

and keeping with top closed after each turn.Turn about 4 times total.⠀
Sprinkle kosher salt VERY lightly over each ear of corn. Pour 1/4 cup of Key Lime Balsamic vinegar into a flat dish. Roll each ear of corn in Key Lime Balsamic vinegar.⠀

Everyone has their favorite recipe for zucchini bread. This is mine. I’ve taken our original zucchini bread recipe and updated it. I’ve more than doubled the zucchini and added a bit more sugar as a result. I’ve also used a flavored olive oil to impart a great lemony taste to the bread. And if available Greek Thyme Olive Oil, currently only available at the Asheville store, is another fantastic olive oil to use with this recipe. I loved the cinnamon, so I haven’t changed that. To prepare the zucchini I started using the spiralizer instead of shredding zucchini since it’s faster, easier and saves my knuckles. Plus it has fewer parts to clean than the food processor.

This sandwich is a fun quirky summer twist to the traditional BLT sandwich. We have subbed the tomato with sliced fresh strawberries. As an added twist this recipe comes from Jessica, our manager in Asheville and highlights fresh produce found in abundance right now from local farmers. Continue reading “Strawberry BLT with Balsamic Goat Cheese”
This recipe is great for use on sandwiches, toast, bagels or bruschetta. We used a soft goat cheese, but cream cheese or ricotta would be also be divine. Continue reading “Strawberry Balsamic Whipped Goat Cheese”
Treat mom to a special breakfast of crepes this year. These delicate, light crepes are easier to make than you may expect. It mostly takes a bit of patience, following directions and a great filling. We love our versatile orange olive oils, but using a lemon or Persian lime olive oil would also be fantastic in this recipe. Continue reading “Strawberries & Cream Filled Orange Crepes”
These fire crackers live up to their name. With two layers of heat you will find them crazily addicting. While Baklouti is our spiciest olive oil, any of the spicy oils would be great, and not quite as explosive as Baklouti. The addition of Tuscan Herb adds a needed layer of flavor and depth to these crackers. We prefer to eat these crackers by themselves or dipped in ranch dressing. I bet they would even be great as an accompaniment to oysters.
Using a gallon Ziplock bag add the olive oil and spices. Seal the bag and massage the ingredients together to combine.
A word about these fire crackers and the olive oils. Baklouti olive oil is our spiciest olive oil. Therefore, with a whole cup of baklouti and only a quarter cup of Tuscan herb, these crackers will definitely live up to their name of “fire”. If you wanted to lower the heat impact of these crackers without sacrificing flavor you could always add more Tuscan Herb and less Baklouti while keeping the total amount of olive oil at 1 1/4 cups.
Open the bag and place all of the saltines inside. Reseal and allow to sit for 1-2 hours, turning the bag over several times to coat the crackers with the olive oil mixture.
Enjoy!

Here’s a great, no kneading bread recipe. It is similar to Irish Soda Bread recipes, but better. Are you wanting to make a savory bread but still intimidated by using yeast? If so this recipe is a good substitute. The beer along with the baking powder and salt makes the bread rise without any kneading or resting. Continue reading “Tuscan Herb Beer Bread”
One of my favorite bloggers and cookbook authors is Cassy Joy Garcia from FedandFit.com. Her recipes are simple, healthy and satisfying. The fun part of cooking with our products is the ability to easily put a twist on a recipe by substituting with them. In this recipe we have taken her tasty crock pot recipe here, because who doesn’t need another go-to crock pot recipe in their arsenal, and used our Blenheim apricot balsamic. If you don’t have apricot, pineapple balsamic would be fun as well. Continue reading “Apricot Balsamic Mustard Pork Chops”
