Healthy Eating Tip: Add Some Fat to Your Tomatoes

Healthy Cooking Tip: Olive Oil Shelf Life
Being the cornerstone of the Mediterranean-style diet, olive oil tastes great and offers a wide variety of health benefits. But that bottle that has been in your pantry for two years — not so much. As olive oil ages, it loses its nutritional potency.
Scoop Your Own Olive Oil and Pine Nut Ice Cream
On the hot days of Summer, there is nothing like a scoop of ice cream to cool down. While I've enjoyed my fair share of store-bought ice cream, it was finally time to start making my own, so I recently purchased the ice cream attachment for my Kitchenaid.

Five Ways to Use Olive Oil For Beauty
When visiting a pal's house recently, I noticed a bottle of olive oil in his bathroom (not while snooping, I swear). Even though I know of many uses for this product, I was curious why he had it. Turns out he applies this before shaving instead of traditional creams since he has sensitive skin (a tip he picked up from his Grammy).
