Today is my stepdaughter, Britney’s, birthday. Whenever possible, I like to make a special dinner to celebrate each child and grandchild’s birthday.
Yesterday, as I was deciding on the menu, I thought it was a great opportunity to make the Marinated Feta recipe I have on my website. I was going to make lasagna and thought, why not more cheese!
So, last night, I prepared the feta and the lasagna.
I used a medium-intensity Extra Virgin Oil Olive for the recipe and used fresh rosemary but I didn’t have fresh thyme, so I just used my dried thyme. I like to adjust my recipes to what I already have at home.
I especially loved knowing that the Olive Oil I used to marinate the feta was going to be used for the salad dressing. I wouldn’t have wanted to waste all that delicious olive oil!
I’m happy to report that everyone loved the Marinated Feta. It was super delicious. I served it with toasted French bread, which was generously drizzled with olive oil. It was a perfect companion for the feta.
Do you have an appetizer recipe that uses Olive Oil? I’d love to hear about them!
Happy Valentine’s Day to you all!
Ciao for now,
RoseAnne
