Did you know that August is National Olive Oil Month?

August is National Olive Oil Month! Join me as I talk about ways to substitute butter with olive oil via Our Southern Home

I've been a consumer of olive oil for years! I keep it right by the stove for easy cooking access. Honestly, I grab the olive oil before butter when cooking. It's much healthier, and I don't have to grab it from the fridge!

Since National Olive Oil Month is upon us, Pompeian is celebrating by launching the Pompeian Pledge! It's a call for consumers nationwide to swap butter for olive oil in everyday recipes. It's really easier than you realize.

Pompeian created this really cool conversion chart to help you with it! 

Pompeian, Inc.  has been Baltimore based since 1906 and is one of the leaders in olive oil, cooking wines and vinegars. It is the first olive oil brand to USDA Quality Monitored seal on its Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Swapping really is simple and healthy! You can swap in nearly all recipes.

Normally this brown rice recipe that I make calls for the fresh onion and mushrooms to be sautéed in butter. I simply ditch the butter and saute in 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Yummy!!

 We eat grilled chicken quite a bit. Our favorite way to do this is to brush olive oil on both sides.

 Then simply give it a healthy shake of your favorite grilling seasoning. HINT! I always cut the boneless, skinless breasts in half. One is usually just too big for a serving size. I hate it when there is part left on a plate. We grill up the entire pack. I use the leftover chicken in another meal. I cut it up into pieces for a pasta dish!  I'll have to share that with you soon. It is great for a quick one dish meal on a busy night!

Another favorite swap is instead of buttering your bread….why not serve it with a little olive oil flavored with Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Place the olive oil mixture in a little saucer for light dipping. 

Instead of buying a salad dressing, I like to do the following. I make just enough salad for my family to have no leftovers. Pour olive oil and balsamic vinegar to a count of 3. Sprinkle in a generous about of Parmesan cheese and toss to coat.  You don't want to make too much in excess because it won't keep once tossed with a dressing.

Are you ready to take the Pompeian Olive Oil Pledge? Visit Pompeian to do so.  One thousand fans who sign up will be randomly selected to receive a gift from Pompeian which is a  free movie redemption code and a coupon for a free bottle of olive oil. It doesn't end there!  Every week 5 additional fans who have pledged will win a fun prize pack on Pompeian’s Facebook timeline.

Pompeian is also partnering for the month with movie theaters across the country to swap out popcorn butter for Pompeian Olive Oils. How cool is that!

Visit Pompeian to learn about their entire collection of olive oils.

I'd love to hear ways that you plan to swap out butter for olive oil! Are you already doing this…great! Share with us how below in the comments.

    We use olive oil instead of butter 99% of the time when cooking. We even like to mix it with Italian seasoning and use it to dip breads in. Couldn’t live without it!

    I hardly ever cook with butter, EVOO is what I use. My mom puts EVOO and balsamic vinegar on small plates for bread dipping. I’d much rather have that than butter.

AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery sto AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery store. I could explore forever. Ashlyn and I enjoy cooking together so shopping for our favorite steak taco night dinner was the perfect opportunity to visit our new @foodlion in the Greenville, SC area. We are no stranger to Food Lion! We shop there when in NC while visiting our family beach cottage. The extra fresh produce and meats section always blows us away. Food Lion prides itself on keeping prices low and passes savings to its customers. Be sure to sign up for an MVP card in-store & online. Swipe to see more + our yummy dinner!

Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain and cold creep back in. The weather is a big tease around here! A tip & a question! Please read below...help a girl out! 

🌸 Do yourself a favor, when you go to the grocery store....pick up some fresh flowers. They are inexpensive and instantly brighten your day. Change out the water every couple of days and most will last a week. Cut a little off the stems as well. 

👁 I recently had an eye appointment. My doc wrote a prescription for me to get progressive readers. Folks, She said that I need 2.5s! I’m in a 1.75. It’s such a pain. Here’s my question. I can no longer pluck my eyebrows with my magnifying mirror! 🤣 The 52 struggle is real! What’s a girl to do? Become Bert or go to the salon. I don’t wax because it’s too irritating. @ashlyn_little offered to pluck them! 🤣 Anyone else in the same boat? 

Favorite @lovechicos look! My So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are on sale! Today is also the last day of their first-ever warehouse sale!

Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usu Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usually have a last one out rule. I just can’t walk in the bedroom with an unmade bed. My dresser may have a pile of folded laundry for a couple of days, but that bed is made! That Amazon blanket is linked in stories. It’s soooo good! 

This is perhaps my favorite look for our master bedroom! Soft toile, linen and leopard print bedding and blankets are so cozy! http://liketk.it/3953P #liketkit @liketoknow.it #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKstyletip @liketoknow.it.home

I have not been this excited about the weekend sin I have not been this excited about the weekend since last weekend! Ha, ha! Happy Friday! No big plans here, but I’m still trying to dress up for a date night in on the weekend. We’ve been eating a lot in the dining room lately. It’s a cozy space with the twinkle lights that I don’t have the heart 
to take down. It’s like feeling like we are in an actual restaurant opposed to the daily meals at the kitchen table. Just that little extra effort makes a difference. #ad

Loving these separates from @lovechicos This lightweight chevron sweater is perfect for now and spring. The lines are so slimming with the flowy ¾ length sleeve. Guess what! My So Slimming Girlfriend Jeans are on sale now thru February 25th! All full-priced jeans are $59!

Been watching the news before cooking dinner and e Been watching the news before cooking dinner and enjoying a glass of wine. It’s heartbreaking seeing what’s going on in Texas. The people, the animals....I pray that everyone finds warmth, food and water tonight. It makes me look ahead to warmer days and carefree times of summer. This photo was last summer....I’m ready for outdoor weather. 🙏

Never regret anything that made you smile. – Mar Never regret anything that made you smile. – Mark Twain 

I’ve been on a no sugar or anything processed lifestyle change going on 7 weeks except for that weekend cheat meal. Spent an afternoon doing a little shopping and indulging in a vanilla chai latte with my daughter, and it made my day! No regrets on the sweet splurge. #ad

This outfit with pieces from @lovechicos has been on repeat the last couple of weeks! I don’t tend to wear bright colors like this in the winter but let me tell you…. this sweater changed my mind! I am sharing 4 fun looks on the blog today with some of my favorite @lovechicos pieces. #lovechicos

These So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are the only ones I reach for these days. They work with boots, heels, flats and sneakers.
