Rosemary Infused Olive Oil

I love the look of beautiful bottles of oils filled with fresh herbs, and seasonings. I am also not one of those people that just put it on a shelf and never use it.  Flavored oils can be used for cooking your favorite dish, tossed with pasta, as a dip for crusty bread, or over a salad. My favorite is rosemary and garlic, but there are countless delicious combinations you can create.

You can purchase the bottles at Dollar Tree, your local craft store, or Walmart. The same bottles of of gourmet flavored oils sell for as much as $20! Olive oil often runs buy one get one free, this is the time to stock up for gifts (especially if you have a coupon to add to the sale). Shopping the sales makes this DIY around $4 a bottle. Big difference!
