Cherry Olive

Cherry Olive

Tan and olive striped couch, white marble floors, dark cherry wood table, dark olive colored walls...?

My question is...what color rug under the coffee table?! The couch is striped olive and tan so designs wouldn't be very good on the rug right? What color rug??

Olive rug matches the couch, is dark enough for the wood table and matches the walls as well.

Fettuccine with Cherry Tomatoes

Fettuccine with Cherry Tomatoes

This is a great pasta recipe to use garden fresh cherry tomatoes and Watkins Garlic and Parsley Grapeseed Oil. Both with make this a good and healthly recipe. The grapeseed oil is light and is lower in saturated fat and higher in unsaturated fats than nearly all other oils. It also aides to both lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol and increase HDL ("good") cholesterol, its antioxidant content makes it not only healthy , but very stable. A high smoke point makes it perfect for grilling or sauteing

Adding cherry tomatoes and ripe olives to a traditional pasta dish only adds to its color, flavor, texture, and nutritive value. So, why not do it tonight? Make fettuccine and, instead of coating it with a heavy sauce, toss the noodles with a light mixture of oil and Parmesan cheese. Season with spices and add the tomatoes and olives. Light, filling, appetizing, and with a perfect blend of flavors, this dish will be a hit.
