Munch
Give your mom a basket from The Oilerie that includes Salad Days, a cookbook
by Pam Powell, a recipe book chock-full of delectable salad concoctions. Owner
Terri Chaffer pairs each salad in the book with one of the shop’s oils and
balsamic vinegars—guaranteeing unique and zesty blends with a healthy twist, all
in a basket.

Great for a mid-afternoon snack or a party appetizer, the chicken empanadas
is an example of the kind of meal you can drop by Let’s Dish! and pick up for
mom. It puts a twist on a calzone. Chicken, corn, cheddar-jack cheese, jalapenos
and refried beans are enveloped in a baked crust. Call them to have a ready-made
item scheduled for pickup, and grab a gift card while you are there.
$25, full, $15, half, Let’s Dish!
“A Meal in a Box” defies the odds of creating simple yet tasty fare. The meal
gift set includes garlic parsley fettuccine, rosemary garlic seasoning, sun
dried tomato bruschetta, garlic olive oil and 25-year aged balsamic vinegar. Top
it off with the goodness of chocolate-covered almonds.
$54, The Oilerie
Oils and vinegars aren’t simply for hearty meals. They find a home in baking
too. Choose between the ooey gooey chocolate brownie or scrumptious cookie
mixes. Skip the simple vanilla and pair it with lemon, cinnamon or vanilla olive
oils. Owner Terri Chaffer recommends the tasty combo of Vanilla Variation Mix
coupled with orange olive oil and cherry balsamic sauce.
$38.99, The Oilerie
