STAR_EnterContestLogo_thumb13Our winner for week one of our contest is Vickie Bartlet. We asked how you would use Olive Oil instead of butter, Vickie said – use it in place of butter for garlic bread.  Vickie, expect an email from me.  I will need your postal address.

They want us to see that replacing our butter in our recipes with Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a healthier choice. I received some Star Extra Virgin Olive Oil to use in my recipes in place of butter and last night I made some Dijon Cod using EVOO instead of butter to make the sauce, which worked out really well.
