I don't know if you're familiar with Pampered Chef, but I love their Kitchen Mister. It pumps just a mist of oil when you need it. It sells for $12.50. Check out their website! |

Here is something yummy........I cut up eggplant, put extra virgin olive oil on both sides and put it in a frying pan till it's crispy on both sides. Then add just a small amount of balsamic vinegar after u take it out of the pan. It's so yummy and almost no calories. YUM YUM!! |

As a child, my grandmother would use olive oil on our hair, skin (like lotion),and on all baby's. She said that olive oil was more healthier than baby lotion, and was good for your hair/skin because of Vitamin A. I used on my children as well. I started cooking with it when I saw this show called Healthy Flavors. I use extra light virgin olive oil in baked goods - cakes, brownies,and muffin instead of vegetable oil. I use regular olive oil in most of my cooking that calls for vegetable oil. |

Dr. Mercola says to use coconut oil to cook with. I haven't tried it, but plan to see how it is. |

I just started buying extra virgin olive oil. I saw a coupon from Crisco for a $1.00 or $2.00 off their virgin olive oil. If you go to their site you might be able to still get it. Hope2be |

I keep a mister of olive oil on the counter. Just a little bit helps keep food from sticking while adding flavor. |

heating extra virgin olive does not activate bad cholesterol. i use virgin olive oil for cooking and extra virgin for salads. |

This is such a good idea. When I started phasing out things that weren't healthy I was standing in my kitchen one night staring at my can of tuna thinking "Well what am I going to put in here except for mayonaise?" Turns out olive oil and a pinch of pepper is a great substitute. |

I was told not to heat up the extra virgin oil because it actives the bad cholesterol. Is this true... |
