Fresh Summer Salsa
I love my fresh salsa recipe because you can adjust the seasonings to your specific taste. If you like spicy, add a little more jalapeno pepper. Love cilantro? Add more. If you like your salsa a little sweeter add a bit more honey. Have fun with it!
Hot Dried Beef Pecan Spread
This recipe is an oldie, but a goodie. My mom used to make this back in the 1960’s. Always a popular spread for your appetizer table.
Lemongrass Sesame Glazed Beef Skewers
Always one of the most popular appetizers on my holiday buffet table. Make ahead – marinate beef up to 1 day in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Mango Salsa
Serve this flavorful fresh mango salsa with roasted or grilled pork, grilled shrimp or hint of lime tortilla chips.
Jalapeno Lime Roasted Corn Salsa
I love fresh corn on (or off) the cob. Add it to fresh tomato salsa and I am over the moon happy! Here’s my recipe for my favorite fresh salsa. The heat is added with jalapeno lime olive oil and green chile infused olive oil. Olivelle infused olive oils and aged balsamic vinegars are available […]

Whipped Brie with Fig Jam, Pistachios and Hot Honey
I love pistachios and I love hot honey. My idea of heaven is to combine pistachios and hot honey in a lovely spread to serve on buttered, toasted baguette slices. The addition of Olivelle sweet cream butter infused olive oil adds a buttery flavor to this creamy spread.
Everything Bagel Smoked Salmon Spread
This lovely spread is quick and easy to make and so delicious with flavors of smoked salmon, lemon juice, capers, fresh dill and a touch of horseradish. Topped with Everything Bagel Seasoning (this seasoning is made right here in Virginia!).
