Quoting RADmomma:
Quoting jaytee:Yum! I love marinara and mozzarella sticks!
oooh me too.
but it cant be too sweet...
why have I never thought to make my own???
Sara, 1-1/2 tsp. won't make it very sweet, it'll just cut the tang-iness.
It's funny how you can go to lots of different *authentic* restaurants, and you LOVE what they're serving, but when you get home....well, it's a different story.
Does anyone make their own olive oil/herb dip for bread? Instead of butter, yanno. If you do, please share. I usually just guess. Olive oil, some garlic powder, LOTS of ground oregano, and a little salt and pepper.
Is there a good recipe out there?
