Show Your Gratitude This Holiday Season

The rush will soon be on!   If you find yourself in a hurry attend your next holiday party, and you’ve been charged with bringing an appetizer, Gratitude Goodies would like to share a quick, 5-ingredient, appetizer recipe to make your life less stressful.

Black Olive Tapenade

·         1 can of black olives (you can also use Kalamata olives) – about 2 cups

·         2-3 cloves garlic, minced

·         3-4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

·         3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

·         ¼ cup extra-virgin (good quality) olive oil

·         Salt & fresh ground pepper

Using a food processor, chop the olives and garlic into a very rough paste.   Transfer the mixture into a bowl, and stir in the lemon juice, parsley, and olive oil.   Season with salt and pepper to taste (note if using Kalamata olives, you may want to omit the salt).

At Gratitude Goodies we provide "a meaningful way to say thank you".   What better way to express your appreciation for the party invitation, than by sending a thank you gift.    One of our best sellers for the holiday season is our artfully designed winter sleigh, filled with the very best in tasteful treats. It all starts with the savory flavors of garlic and herb cheese and pepper & poppy crackers, and then moves to the smooth, sweet flavors of creamy chocolate truffles and chocolate wafer cookies.   After trying the many other tasty treats, finish with a whimsical peppermint snowman or almond butter crunch toffee.

Wishing you all the best,
