A really cool thing I did while in California was to attend an olive oil tasting. You may have done this before, but it was my very first time. The place I went to in San Juan Capistrano offered an assortment of olive oils, balsamic vinegars, and wines…as well as appetizers created from their offerings.
The reason I wanted to post something about this was so I could share with you the amazing aha moment I had during my visit. What was it? To find out olive oil is a substitute for butter in baking! Why had I never thought of this healthy alternative!
The best part of my visit was hearing some of the pairings possible…like using blood orange infused olive oil in place of butter in a brownie recipe!
I hope my discovery may inspire you to try using olive oil in your baking!
Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. If you want to be adventurous and order some flavored oils to try in baking, you can order them from We Olive & Wine Bar in San Juan, Capistrano, California – a great family business!
