Olive oil is on everything!

Oh, dear. It’s astonishing how much olive oil we use in our house. We reach for the olive oil for cooking and as a condiment.

I use olive oil to make everything from omelets to onion rings - but never in oatmeal. Oh, no.

I slather it on garlic bread and grilled cheese sandwiches. And no one seems the wiser. In fact, they love it.

Olive oil is supposed to be a lot healthier than butter or margarine. Of course, those statistics tend to run in cycles.

Maybe it's the monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) in olive oil. After all, those are widely considered to be healthy fats. Cardiologists seem to like that idea.

Nope. That's Olive Oyl.

In any case, olive oil is likely to remain a staple in our home.
