It's another Olivia's Wednesday morning!
Harry and Yanni were in the Olivia's Kitchen and joined us via Skype while preparing a Crispy Oyster Sailor Salad tossed in a Basil Pomegranate Vinaigrette Dressing.
What is a meal without drinks?
Adrienne prepared a Honey Dew Basil Margarita for you to enjoy.
