Your own olive oil?!  Lucky!!! ^^❤️

❤️❤️

Side-blessings of living in a Mediterranean island! :) And we use olive oil in everything here (almost every single food we cook, and even some sweets), so I can't imagine living without it! (Or tbh I can imagine it, I did when studying far away from home, and having to buy it all the time, & on subpar quality sucked big time!)

Spicy cold cut banh mi

Spaghetti "carbonara" (kind of) -- with pork steak slices, sweet orange peppers, sage leaves, and garlic, almond milk, Cretan graviera cheese, and free-range eggs.

Hi! I just made sausage & turkey stuffed bell peppers.  The stuffing is like a meatloaf but I use lots of veggies: sautéed mushrooms, roasted zucchini and cauliflower chunks as well as fresh herbs: rosemary, thyme, and parsley.  The sausage is half hot & half sweet Italian.  I also like to put roasted garlic in, yum! I use older/harder sourdough bread chunks for the filler to absorb the juices & this way, I find I don't need an egg as a binder for the meat.  I let the roasted veggies cool down a little & combine, then stuff in the bell pepper, sprinkle with a harder cheese of your choice (I like gruyere or parmesan&romano) and bake it. It's so yummy & juicy & relatively healthy with all those veggies.  (Sometimes I'll mix in a little bit of marinara if I want more tomato flavor.) ;) It's always a hit with the family & they are some seriously PICKY eaters! :D
