Olive Oil: tastes good AND good for you!
I recently received notification that I will be getting some goodies from O&Co, Mediterranean Food Merchant. Although I have not come home to a package of this amazing surprise yet, I am so excited about the promise of some delicious Oil, Truffles, Olives, or whatever amazing treat they send me!
Why, you may wonder, am I so excited about getting some unknown treat? Well – just go take a look at their website and tell me that you don’t get hungry and inspired just looking!

So when my [future] brother-in-law D had a birthday last week I decided to combine those loves and send him some cookies. D’s favorite cookie is Snickerdoodle (we have talked about this before: muffins, dips, & I am sure more to come throughout the years) Now mind you, the sending of these cookies was after I had sent him a link to the very same cookies a few weeks before to congratulate him on his new job. He then reminded me that his birthday was coming up, so in some ways he might have been begging for these cookies.
