I think we all know that I am the worst at blogging. Some people have a natural talent for keeping up with their blog… or perhaps they’re just a little more disciplined than I? Either way, I know that I’m terrible at it. And as I’ve said numerous times before, I’m going to make an effort to be better at this blog thing – especially when it comes to blogging sessions and weddings. Pinky promise.
Kicking off my new blogging campaign is the first wedding of the year for me (yes, I’ll get the sessions from earlier this year up on this bloggie very soon). You might remember this couple from the Wedding Giveaway in late 2011. They were the lucky winners as voted by all of you. 
Melissa and Rob celebrated their wedding day with their closest friends and family in an intimate ceremony in the beautiful Fitzgerald Suite of the Seelbach Hilton Louisville. There was lots of laughter, tears and plenty of love to be shared on their day. It was truly a day that I was beyond honored to be a part of.
Congratulations Melissa and Rob! I wish you all the best.
Just for fun this year, I decided to take on another project at the start of the new year. One that didn’t have a lot of rules as I’m not such a great rule follower. This is my own personal project and I didn’t want to make it feel like a chore. Sooo… I went with food. A year of food. All kinds of food… drinks, raw food, cooked food, play food, simply food. And yes… we’re only 2 full months into the new year and I’m already slacking! If you’d like to see previous food project images, please go HERE.
Anyway, this is my most recent photo for this project. This is Olive Tapenade; The Old Spaghetti Factory style. My hubs and I visited The Old Spaghetti Factory this past weekend and had their olive tapenade. I was hooked! I love olives and knew I had to find a copycat recipe stat. I found the perfect recipe and now have a bowlful of this yummy goodness in my fridge!
Ingredients:
- 1 jar pitted kalamata olives (1 1/2 cups)
- 2 cans pitted medium black olives (2 1/2 cups)
- 1/4 cup capers
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Directions:
Toss all ingredients in a food processor and pulse till smooth.
Serve with toasted fancy bread, crackers, pretzel rods or just eat with a spoon. Yeah, it’s that good!
I’m not sure about how long it’s good covered in the fridge, so use your own judgement there. However, I think it should be good for a looooong time. And it makes a loooooot.
Enjoy!!
