Flippin' over Filippo Berio Olive Oil--Kick Butter

Recently, we discovered olive oil as a great alternative in cooking & baking. I was so excited to get the BzzAgent Campaign Invite For Filippo Berio Olive Oil to give it a try. Olive oil is a heart healthy alternative to the typical use of butter. Many worry that taking butter out of cooking/baking means sacrificing flavor. Actually, we prefer the olive oil and prefer to use it when cooking, marinating, baking etc... A friend recently asked me what olive oil could be used for in cooking. The possibilities are endless: scrambled eggs, cookies, spreading on pizza crust, drizzling on salads & veggies, fried chicken, marinating, popping popcorn, dipping bread, mashed potatoes, grilled cheese and the list could go on and on. Filippo Berio was kind enough to include a substitution chart for use of oil in place of butter/margarine...such a handy tool. The flavor is amazing and the food tastes so much better when we use Filippo Berio!!!! Not only is it heart healthy and tasty, it also provides a much lighter alternative to the caloric salad dressings that typically dominate our choices. Give Filippo Berio a try and "Kick Butter" to give yourself a lighter and more heart healthy alternative in cooking and baking!
