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:
- Snickers Cheesecake
- Buffalo Chicken Pizza
- Spicy Black Bean Burgers
- Corn and Black Bean Salsa
- Tiramisu
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!

Just a little F.Y.I. about my last Food Blog Forum Orlando Conference post. It will go up on Friday. I wanted to give it to you yesterday but there's one little old picture that needs finalizing before I reveal it to you. Hope it's worth the wait. It's sure to inspire some smiles.
Toodles and smoochies! xx
