Olives, you either love them or hate them. I, personally, love them!! I have never found an olive that I hate. They have to be my favorite fruit. I love experimenting with new ways to serve them, its always fun because I am the one that loves them the most . The hubbyman, he can take them or leave them and the kiddo…. well lets just say she won’t get within a foot of them….weird child, but I’m-a gonna keep her.

Summer evenings are for porch sittin’ and sweet tea sippin’ and we gotta have snacks… The creamy cold feta on warm toasted baguettes is a perfect light treat, topped with mixed olives for that briney bite!

Olives, love em or hate em…
