Time to Change Your Oil

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pompeian for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I’ve been sharing some of the vegetarian-friendly recipes my family eats to accomodate Hubby Dave’s choice to eat a vegetarian diet.  I typically use extra virgin olive oil as my standard, but I just learned that grapeseed oil has similar health benefits to olive oil, but adds the versatility of a higher smoke point.  That will be so nice when Dave makes his weekly stir fry – no more coughing because of the light smoke coming from the wok!

Pompeian offers two different oils incorporating grapeseed to diversify your cooking choices – Grapeseed oil or OlivExtra Premium Mediterranean Blend, a blend of grapeseed oil, extra virgin olive oil and canola oil.

Right now, Pompeian is partnering with Hungry Girl Lisa Lillian to challenge bloggers to change their oil for a chance to win an all-expense paid trip to BlogHer Food ’13 in Austin, TX June 7-8.  You heard me – a free trip to an awesome food blogger convention!  The winning recipe chosen by Lisa will be featured with Pompeian for the course of the event.
