Wonderful and easy dip recipe that would be ideal for parties.

Green and Black Olive Tapenade {Guest Post by Bake Your Day} on cravingsofalunatic.com- Wonderful and easy dip recipe that would be ideal for parties.

Hi folks. Well today is a special day indeed. The lovely Cassie from Bake Your Day is visiting today. She brought the most flavourful dish with her.

If you know Cassie then you know this is par for the course for her. Her food is always beautiful, bright, full of flavour and incredibly appealing. Every single thing she makes is spot on.

Recipes of Cassie’s I Love:

She nails it every single time. I am a truly picky eater and I find myself saying “I’d make that” to every single recipe she posts.

Cassie is incredibly sweet and  generous as well. She always has a kind word and she listens to what you have to say. People this genuine are rare. I feel absolutely blessed to know this gal.

I hope you all fall in love with this girl and her blog like I have. Most of you probably already have. Please welcome her and make her feel at home.

Hi Cravings of a Lunatic readers!  I am Cassie and I blog at Bake Your Day. I am shamelessly in love with food and the way it brings people together.  I have met many incredible people since blogging, including Kim.  She is one of the most gracious and funniest bloggers that I have met so when she asked me to post for her I was thrilled to jump on board.

I have a bit of an obsession with snack food.  I love snacks and I will happily eat a smaller meal just so that I can have a snack (and not feel guilty about it) later!

Olives happen to make a great snack and I have loved them ever since I can remember: straight out of the jar; on a pizza; sprinkled into pasta.  However you serve them to me, I will gobble them up.

How about on a chip or cracker?  I’m telling you, this is one of the best ways to eat olives.  What is a better snack than a dip?  You guessed it: a dip that is made out of olives.  Tapenade is something that I adore.  The best part – it comes together in minutes and even people who aren’t big fans of olives will love it.

I hope you enjoy!  Kim, thank you for having me on your blog!

  17. I love Cassie’s blog, very excited to see her here! Beautiful photos, as always, Cassie! I’m not big on olives, but my husband is like you, he would eat them on any and everything. And of course, being in the M/E, olives are so easy to find. I totally have to make this for him. We always have tons of olives around and I never know what to do with them. Thanks for a great recipe!
