Happy Tuesday Everyone!
It is a very nice day here today (at least for right now…sometimes the weather changes here often!).
I was m.i.a yesterday as I was hardcore doing taxes. A very fun way to spend a rainy Monday 
The great news is they are complete, and I can now breathe again.
Because I was so busy yesterday I did not have time to make it to the grocery store before dinner, so lucky I was at my parents doing the taxes and my lovely mom gave me some food items for dinner! HAHA, I tell ya, you never get too old to raid your ‘rents kitchen!
She was kind enough to supply me with rice noodles, mushrooms, zucchini, spinach and a can of all natural olives! I already had tomato sauce from the pizza the night before, so I whipped up a very late pasta dish.
Natural Black Olives aren’t even that black!!
I am officially addicted to olives. I eat them alone, in my dinner and today for lunch I had a salad drenched in them! I don’t even know why I think they are so good, but they are my favourite thing right now!
You must try this Natural Value brand, their olives ROCK!
Unfortunately today the family and I are off to a funeral for a neighbour that has passed away. I just filled up on my salad with olives, so I think it shall keep me full for a while.
I will be back with an AMAZING, easy dessert recipe!!
Do you like olives? Do you eat the all natural kind?

i LOVE olives…my favorites are the varietals you can find at authentic Italian places now…they just marinate them in olive oil and citrus zest. YUM!

I’m a huge olive fan!!! I’m not terribly picky at all. It gets even better when they are stuffed with jalapenos. MMMM

I used to be able to find this great Greek pizza with feta and olives on it…I think that discontinued that brand which is too bad.
I think the only time I have had olives is on pizza or possibly in greek salads.
Possibly in spaghetti sauce also.

I used to eat green olives by the jars back in the day. I think I burned myself out though. I’m more of a sweets person now rather than sour.

I love olives….. NOW… Everyone I knew raved about olives and their tasty goodness, I seriously wasn’t getting it… Sooooo, I set myself a challenge, to eat a few olives a day, I would get my chefs to order in all different varieties… I guess, my taste buds eventually caught on… Totally get your love of em Kris!
Olives taste great with everything.
Thanks for sharing and well done getting the taxes out of the way!

I forget about olives sometimes. I really like them in dishes by not so much alone. Love shopping at the rents

Funny thing is I just started eating olives. I use to hate them now love them. Crazy, right? Back in November I started following the eat clean lifestyle and found that my tastes changed a lot and now my husband wants to know what I did with his wife. =)
