I am a mother with two young children at home. One of my biggest challenges is to create exciting new dishes for my family each day. We love to try new ingredients or new combinations to make them fun and delicious. Let's cook together. It will be a fun ride. I promise!

Place the garlic, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until finely minced.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a medium sauté pan over low heat. Add the garlic and herb mixture and cook for 3 minutes, until de garlic is tender but not browned. Remove from the heat and set aside.
