I usually do what the others suggested... make a homemade EVOO & vinegar dressing (similar to what my MiL does), or more often since I haven't done a lot of salads yesterday...I might drizzle some EVOO on my pasta or rice, or on cooked veggies, or I'll just sautee the veggies in it. A lot of the recipes I like are in the South Beach cookbook, and frequently, canola or olive oil will be used. Another easy one for olive oil is spaghetti sauce. No biggie to just throw some in, kwim?
I can't remember off the top of my head about the oils. It's canola, olive oil...and what else? Is flaxseed oil counted? If so, there is a decent smoothie recipe in You: On a Diet that calls for flaxseed oil. I found mine at Wal-Mart. I'll post the recipe if anyone is interested. It's the only way I could imagine drinking the oil.

I've been awful at keeping track of anything this week so far... I've jotted things down here & there to figure out the points later, then haven't done it.
Gotta get on-track with that tomorrow (today, Wed.).
i just came on here to say - suite i have noticed often that you have an eng muffin with laughing cow cheese. i've actually had some laughing cow cheese sitting in my fridge since january (doesn't go bad until AUGUST don't think ewwwww haha) and decided to try your concoctions you speak of. i just had an eng muffin with garlic and herb laughing cow cheese and a slice of ff smoked turkey breast. OH MY GOD it was delicious!!! just wanted to state.
not good at totally planning out my day for these things, so just so far -
