Easy, Spanish-Style Marinated Olives

December 26, 2017

Marinated olives are a great party nibble. They are best when made ahead, which makes life a little easier when you are hosting the gathering.

I like to take homemade (food) gifts with me when I am a guest at a party, especially during this time of the year.

New Year’s Eve is only days away and I’m sure if you showed up to a shindig with these in hand, the host/hostess would be very happy.

The olives are ready to serve, all that needs to be done is pour them into a bowl. And who wouldn’t appreciate an extra appetizer that arrives ready to serve?

It’s mass chaos back there. I think the tomatoes get together in some sort of secret society at night while I’m sleeping, plotting to overthrow me. One day I may wake up to them all crouched down waiting to pounce (think: Lord of the Flies). OK, clearly I’ve gone off on a tangent……

Homemade Herb Vinaigrette Salad Dressing

April 20, 2012

Homemade herb vinaigrette is one of the easiest things to make. If you are not confident in the kitchen, this is a great place to start getting your feet wet. A handful of ingredients and 5 minutes is all it takes to make something delicious.

Now that Spring is in full swing and the Farmer’s Markets are replete with the good stuff, it’s time to start putting those veggies back into the rotation.

Some people tend to look at salads as the obligatory precursor to the main event. Granted, if someone serves you a bowl of pre-cut lettuce and gloppy dressing, it is barely even that. However, with a little creativity and a blender you can make something that is beautiful, delicious, good for you and even those that tend to resist eating “rabbit food” may even get on board.
