I agree with everything on you...Good post, Maggie! I agree with everything on your list. Unfortunately, I'm not in charge of our pantry, so canola oil is the star, but we do have olive and sesame as well. I love sesame oil in Asian dishes and as a substitute for tahini when I'm making hummus. It also works well in any dish where I'm looking to add a little depth and complexity of flavor.TraciBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095265928930417153.post-77805603130721463522010-10-05T11:46:48.000-07:002010-10-05T11:46:48.000-07:00Thanks Maggie!

I can go through pounds of nuts very quickly, though sadly, that's an expensive habit lol, i have to have nut butter at least once daily and that "2 tbsp" serving size is a joke. As for oils, I personally love a good strong olive oil because it makes me feel like I'm in Italy, and I usually wait til the end and put it staight on the dish so I don't lose the flavor. I use grapeseed oil for cooking because it can be heated to high temps and has a lot of vitamin E, and I love coconut oil. Also, toast and earth balance is an amazing combo. I don't know about whether those are healthy or not so healthy fats, but I can't believe I gave that up for so long because I was afraid of fats that I couldn't "see". Silly me! And if you ever visit Houston there's a place that has an arugula and truffle oil pizza that is AMAZING. Beth- hope you're having fun hooping!!Gabynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095265928930417153.post-84132914515437746002010-10-06T06:01:54.000-07:002010-10-06T06:01:54.000-07:00@TraciB: Yay for sesame oil!@Gaby: I will have to ...@TraciB: Yay for sesame oil!@Gaby: I will have to try grapeseed oil. I think I used it once a long time ago but I don't remember how much I liked it. I'm sure I did. Yes, toast + EB is awesome. I usually stick with toast + butter though!

I see a lo...I'm with you all the way on butter. I see a lot of the TV chefs sauteing in a combination of butter and olive oil now. Love sesame oil and, of course, olive oil. I tried peanut oil for wok cooking a long time ago but have never used coconut oil. Sounds like it would be fun for the flavor. I picked up a bottle of white truffle oil that I drizzle onto roasted veggies along with the garlic and shallots. And now I'm starving just thinking about food! =)jayayceeblognoreply@blogger.com
