A few weeks ago I started a new series called My Favorite 5.  Today I want to share 5 Oils from Trader Joe’s.  When Trader Joe’s opened near me a few years ago, I didn’t get all the hype.  I’d never been to one and the things others were saying were so great, we couldn’t eat due to our gluten and nut allergies.  Well, I’m a huge fan now and there are so many great things I keep in my pantry from there.  I’ll share those in future posts.

Olive Oil with Lemon Juice:  This lemon flavored oil is great as a salad dressing with just salt and pepper.  I also toss Brussels Sprouts or Asparagus in it before roasting.  An easy and tasty side dish.

Black Truffle Oil:  This is great on vegetables or french fries!  I also used it to sauté chicken.  Great flavor.

Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil:  A staple in my kitchen for everything from cooking to salad dressings.

Thyme Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette:  Yes, technically not an oil but is so good.  I use for a dressing, cooking and dip.

Garlic Olive Oil:  A very tasty oil with perfect garlic flavor.  Great for a dressing with only salt and pepper or cooking as well.

I keep these oils on my counter at the ready on this great marble tray with my Kosher salt in an olive wood keeper.

Happy cooking!
