Greek Olive Tapenade

Homemade Greek Olive Spread

Hey there,

How are things with everyone?  I hope you are all having a good week so far. 🙂  It has been a busy one for me, I have not be able to get half of what needs to be done off my to-do-list. 🙂  My voice has  slowly started to return!!  everyone is starting to hear me again, and not just a whisper.  It is a bit frustrating when you are trying to explain a topic to someone and they can’t hear you..:(

Anyway, on to the recipe of the day, so this is a very simple 1-2-3 step recipe for Olive lovers. I enjoy the darker Olives more than the Green ones, this because the Green Olives to me are not as ripe as the darker ones. (This is my opinion) Actually, I have never come across Green Olives that have not been marinated in vinegar, does anyone know if there are any?  I did search on the net for some information but I couldn’t find any, If anyone knows of any please let me know..:)  

Have a good day everyone!! 🙂
