I LOVE my EVO sprayer.
I never suggest buying a culinary tool unless it’s just WONDERFUL. The EVO sprayer will transform the way you use olive oil in your kitchen. It sprays a thin, even mist wherever you aim it, providing just the right amount of oil for your recipe!

*There’s nothing better than fresh strawberries – and this recipe proves that strawberries sing with savory as well as sweet ingredients. The salsa is not only great with homemade chips – but top a piece of roasted salmon with it and watch the smiles appear around the table!
4 WINE FIND of the Week
Buehler Russian River Chardonnay
Russian River, Sonoma California
Kroger about $17
If you think you don’t like California Chardonnay – you haven’t tried this luscious juicy wine. One of my favorite California Chardonnays, its rich mouthfeel and crisp finish make it a super pair with the bright acidity of the strawberry salsa. Buehler Chardonnay gets its smooth taste from a process called malolactic fermentation – taking tart green apple flavors and mellowing them out to flavors more like milk or cream.
