My favorite girl's night snack...(A recipe)

My go to snack to take to a girl's night is Pioneer Woman's Olive Cheese Bread. Now don't tune out if you don't like olives because this very recipe has turned 3 olive haters (and counting) into semi-olive lovers. I had this at our Nothing Party and it was a big hit.

Here's what you will need:
-One 14.5 oz can black olives (drained)
-One 6 oz. jar pimiento-stuffed green olives (drained)
-2 green onions (chopped)
-1 stick butter (softened)
-1/2 cup real Mayo
-1 pound Monterrey Jack Cheese (shredded)
-1 loaf French Bread

Start by Preheating the oven to 325 degrees. Then begin chopping up the olives and green onions. Toss these in a medium sized bowl with the softened butter, Mayo and shredded cheese. Stir until combined well. Slice a loaf of French bread lenghwise and scoop the mixture onto the tops of each half of bread. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Serve warm!

If you have any of the olive mixture left it is great with tortilla chips too. YUM!

You can find the original recipe here.

A NOTHING Party!!!

When March isn't full of blooming flowers and sunshine it's a pretty blah month. Since there was not too much going on, my girlfriends and I decided to have a "Nothing" Party! Nothing Party: (Noun)-A party to celebrate nothing in particular. We found the original idea here. We each brought something to eat or drink and some kind of activity. We ended up having delicious cocktails, macaroni and cheese, fried apples, olive cheese bread (recipe coming soon) and these red velvet  brownies. It was so random, which made it fun! We toasted to nothing and enjoyed a night of Justin Timberlake jams, eating and board games.
We decided that any month we don't have a holiday or birthday to celebrate that we will have a Nothing Party! I can't wait to see what the next one brings...
