This week’s C.S.A. share from Aspen Moon Farm contained a nice big bunch of baby dill, and when I have a lot of dill on hand I either use it with fish or I made dill bread. Of course, now that I have stopped eating grains, dill bread seemed like a bad option. I have [...]
Cheese-wrapped Olives (grain free)
This recipe was actually inspired by a recent trip to Costco, where I saw a giant jar (we are talking Costco, after all) of Mezzetta’s Castelvetrano olives. A pretty large jar, really.
