CLOSED ~ Crisco Olive Oil Review and Giveaway

When I think of cooking oil, I think of Crisco. I always use Crisco oil and have since I can remember. I think it's because my mami and abuelita always bought Crisco so I never ever thought to buy another brand.

I like it. It tastes fantastic and now they have so many different varieties of oils that you have one for any type of meal you want to make. So when I was contacted by Crisco to review and receive a basket full of goodies, I jumped at it.

I received this basket. In the basket I found 4 varieties of Crisco Oil, a spatula, a cool Crisco apron, a Crisco recipe book and coupons for Crisco products. I was in heaven. There were three type of Olive Oil: Extra Virgin, Light and Pure. There was also an Omega 3 oil as well. I plan to use these up to very last drop as I always do. Olive oil is good for you as well. And now that I am cooking healthier, I have been using more and more olive oil versus regular oils.

To help consumers incorporate healthful and delicious Latin flavors into their diet, Crisco has teamed up with personal trainer, cook, nutritionist and mom, Sylvia Melendez-Klinger. As part of a series of traditional Latin American recipes for Crisco's Abre tu Despensa al Mundo Crisco (Open your Pantry to the World of Crisco) Sylvia has developed several recipes that are healthful and have that Latin spice! You can go to Crisco's bilingual website: Crisco en Espanol and find some fantastic recipes. Make sure to check out Sylvia's tasty Lime Tortilla Crusted Snapper with Tangy Cilantro Sauce (Pargo Empanizado con Salsa de Cilantro). For my Spanish speaking audience (like my mami) there is a Spanish version here. This recipe not only looks good but it is also healthy.

I watched the video and I plan to use this recipe. Tom will love it. I will also adapt this recipe for chicken since I don't eat fish. I cannot wait to taste it. My favorite part is the cilantro sauce which I tried the other day and served it with beef. It was absolutely delicious.
