I’m a big fan of good olive oils- first pressings only. I especially like herbed dipping oils; they’re fragrant, delicious, and very easy to make. This recipe goes great with a nice glass of red wine and a loaf of fresh, crusty Italian bread.
During the winter months I make a different soup every day- mushroom bisque is my favorite. I start off with some baby -bellas (mini portabella mushrooms or regular will do).
