I don't know how I have survived this long on my culinary journey without the encounter of these delectable oils of splendor. Honestly. How did I not splurge before now? This was my first lot of Gourmet olive oils from our very own Olive Mill in AZ. I came home with 3 oils and one vinegar. I will be going back very soon. I will not rest until I own them all. I started with Blood Orange, lime, rosemary and the pomegranate vinegar. I opened the blood orange and really could have drank it. It was amazing. If you haven't tried fresh pressed olive oil, you have no idea what you are missing. It has a whole different taste to it. I drizzled it on my cantaloupe with a little chopped mint. I then put some of the blood orange and pomegranate vinegar together for a salad dressing. Nothing else needed. The rosemary vinegar was half gone after my Sunday dinner. I rubbed a whole chicken with the oil and put some rosemary and thyme sprigs in the cavity. I tossed the new potatoes with the rosemary oil along with the roasted vegetables. Divine!! The lime oil was used in my veggie fajitas.
You can get some of this delicious oil at the Langley's market on Guadalupe just west of Higley (click here) or at the Queen Creek Olive mill (click here). Did you know they have some of the best olive oil in the world? Even better than Italy? So I am told and now believe. The Olive Mill has an oil of the month club that I am itching to join...just for fun! You can also get some of this oil delivered right to your house from the Backyard farmer along with some local produce. (click here) I just ordered up some roasted garlic olive oil with my Backyard Farmer order next week. Can't wait for Wednesday. The jalapeno olive oil will be on next weeks order, ooooh and the Backyard Farmers fresh cranberry beans and sweet peppers; a lovely pair!
It is so nice to be able to completely season your food with just a little drizzle of olive oil and vinegar. They even have a chocolate vinegar. Not sure about what to do with that one yet....strawberries?
****Supplement and oil orders are due Monday. B complex, D3, Spice of Life, C? Stay healthy this year!

Hi Shari,
What brand is the Bcomplex? size? price? how is the taste?
I buy "Nature's Answer" brand liquid B-complex and it's the one supplement that my son will spit out frequently/gag/vomit..the taste is horrible! I'm trying to find a better tasting option..if there is one..
Thanks!
Nora
Nora,
The B complex is a capsule so you can break it open to put in a smoothie if he can't swallow it. I am not sure how it tastes and I don't have one here to try right now. It is the New Beginnings brand so the quality is top notch. There are 90 capsules for $19. As soon as I get some in, I will drink it down and let you know how it tastes.
The best pot roast I have ever had was made with that blood orange olive oil. To die for! My sister told me it was on the backyard farmers order sheet, and I can't wait to order some today! The garlic sounds amazing as well! (this will be my first time ordering) Thank you for introducing us to the backyard farmer!! (my sister has ordered for a couple of months now)
