His and Hers Midnight Snacks

What do normal people do after midnight on an average Saturday? Go to bars and chill out with their friends? (Well, technically we did that earlier) No! They make snacks!

Green Olive Tapenade (His)...


We decided to resurrect an amazing green olive tapenade recipe that singlehandedly carried us through the holiday season. My sous-chef took the reins on this one. Quite splendidly I might add. Made with seasoned spanish green olives, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, anchovies, capers, thyme and a touch of dijon mustard. Served best with toasted bread, crackers, or my favorite-- stuffed into cherry tomatoes!

Chocolate Souffle (Hers)...

A delicate cloud of bittersweet chocolate rose up and floated into her mouth, a spectacular velvet haze of endorphin-laced euphoria. A single raspberry tumbled off the spoon and onto the plate. She plucked it up as if she were four years old again and standing barefoot in her lavender cotton dress, collecting raspberries from the patch behind her grandparents house.....
Magnifique!
