Super Easy Five-Ingredient Baba Ganoush – An Eggplant Spread
Surprisingly my first recipe to post on Olive Sunshine since moving to Sicily is this easy five-ingredient Baba Ganoush recipe. Baba Ganoush is one of my favorite spreads to serve. An ancient Levantine recipe, Baba Ganoush also known as Ganoosh, is perfect warm or cold and is always a crowd pleaser. Why do I find […]

Fruit and nut dark chocolate clusters are so easy to make, I almost forgot to post about them. A vegan candy dessert with super simple ingredients. This dessert takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, and then the refrigerator does the rest of the work. Crunchy heart healthy nuts, semi-sweet chocolate and dried fruit are […]

It is the holidays and that makes this the ideal time to share Olive Sunshine’s Sweet Stuffed Dates Sampler recipe because this is the perfect, healthy dessert sampler to bring to a party.

Roasted Vegetable and Feta Quesadillas
I am a huge fan of quesadillas, and especially these Roasted Vegetable and Feta Quesadillas have a sprinkle of cheese rather than cheese being the main ingredients. While any roasted root vegetables can be used to make this recipe, Olive Sunshine’s Vegan Portabella and Vegetable Pot Roast is the perfect starter dinner to use for these […]
Artichoke Flatbread with Whipped Mediterranean Cheese
I call Artichoke Flatbread with Whipped Red Pepper and Cheese a pantry favorite. Obviously, not everything comes from my pantry, but most of these items we usually keep in our house. My Sweetheart is the master grocery shopping and has a list of Mediterranean Diet friendly items that he just keeps in the house. That […]

On the boat, the crew prepared a decadent meal and my favorite dish was the Shrimp Saganaki Santorini Style. […]

Eggplant Chips with Honey
I am a fan of chips…potato, tortilla, zucchini but Eggplant Chips with Honey and balsamic was a new one for me.One summer evening, I was fortunate enough to try them for tapas in Madrid. I had no idea what to expect. Imagine my surprise when they came out warm and razor thin, curled up from […]
Crab Stuffed Portabella Mushroom Caps
Crab Stuffed Portabella Mushroom Caps is a new recipe for me. As a plant-leaning home chef, I love mushrooms and use them often. When I was a twenty-something, I would often serve button-mushrooms with a cheesy crab filling at a party I was hosting. A popular, and time-consuming, appetizer amongst my friends. Not really seeing […]
