Herb and Parmesan Dipping Oil

Whenever we go back to my hometown there is this Italian restaurant that my father likes to take everyone for dinner and one of his favorite items is the bread and olive oil dipping sauce they give you as an appetizer. I’ll have to admit I’ve grown to like it as well, enough to make […]
