Manzanilla Olives
Garlic
Lemon
Fresh Oregano
Fresh Basil
EVOO
Red Wine Vinegar
Cream Cheese
Goat Cheese
French Bread
S & P
In a bowl mix

1 cup chopped Manzanilla Olives
3 large cloves of Garlic diced
3 tbs chopped fresh Oregano
3 large basil leaves chopped
S & P to taste
3 tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2tbs Red Wine Vinegar
1 fresh squeezed Lemon
Mix Together

You can use EVOO with a little salt & pepper

Bake at 350 for about 10-15 minutes until edges are golden brown.
Fall is my favoritest of all seasons. The changing leaves, the brisk air, the aroma of rich spices—there’s nothing else quite like it. I’m a fall baby, too, so I’m 100% biased. Give me all…
Let me shout it from the rooftops: I’m ready for spring!! Lately I’ve been dreaming of ambling the local farmers’ market as well as our own bungalow garden pickens. The anticipation of plucking fresh vegetables off the vine is enough to make this green thumb gal coooo.
Lately I’ve been pining over Asian-style soups. Wait a minute, who am I kidding?! I freaking love soup. I’ll find my way back to soup any day of the week, any time of the year….

Gorgeous and one of my favorite combination of flavors!

I’m going t use feta instead if goat cheese. Think that will be ok? When I serve this do you suggest assembling it a little bit before they arrive or can they self serve? This looks so delicious!
