Pomegranate Quinoa and Goat Cheese Salad
It is pomegranate season, and it is the perfect time for Olive Sunshine’s Pomegranate Quinoa and Goat Cheese Salad. What I love about this salad is it takes me five minutes to throw it together. Pomegranates are beautiful. They are refreshingly sweet and tart on this simple salad. The Quinoa gives it a nutty, chewiness […]
Easy Vegan Condensed Milk
Easy Vegan Condensed Milk is delicious and sweetened. It is also a game changer for me. I have not had sweetened condensed milk in more than thirty years. I realize this omission ages me, but it is a fact. Any dessert made with sweetened condensed milk has been off my list. I am not saying […]
Cold Smoked Salmon Breakfast Sandwich
A healthy Cold Smoked Salmon Breakfast Sandwich is a decadent hand-held treat. I had a couple of friends stay the night and I wanted to make a healthy breakfast that was not too much work. Typically, I would make a nice brunch for overnight guests, but we had a busy morning planned full of physical […]
Grilled Vegetable and Pesto Flatbread
Summertime scrumptious is the best word I can use to describe this Grilled Vegetable and Pesto Flatbread. Yes, I said grilled – like on the good old BBQ grill outside! It is roasted goodness and summertime freshness in one thin little flatbread. Perfect for a hot day, because it cooks quickly and without having to […]

Jackie’s Super Easy Lazy Lasagna
I grew up absolutely loving Jackie’s Super Easy Lazy Lasagna. Why? Jackie is my mom. I make this lasagna when I have to feed a crowd. It is not the strictest of the Mediterranean Diet recipes. It is more of a Modern Mediterranean Diet recipe. Made with quality ingredients, it can be thrown together in […]
Easy Delicious Citrus Branzino
I love this Easy Delicious Branzino recipe. Branzino is a favorite fish and if you have never tried branzino, please do. Also known as Mediterranean Bass, it is a light, white fish that does not have a “fishy taste”. Sometimes it is compared to Chilean sea bass. Unlike sea bass, branzino is actually part of […]
Easy Homemade Wheat Bagels
I am absolutely in love with these easy, homemade (Mediterranean Diet friendly) wheat bagels. What’s not to love? They are fast, delicious, filling, healthy and part of the Mediterranean Diet. With four main ingredients, they are super easy to make. Did I mention they are also part of my healthy weight plan? It is ironic […]
Grilled Cheese with Figs and Caramelized-Onions
What could be a better easy comfort food to enjoy than a grilled cheese with figs and caramelized-onions? This grown-up version of a favorite comfort food is perfect with a glass of red wine. A sweet and savory grilled cheese with a full-bodied glass of red wine sounds like the perfect meal to have after […]
Fig and Chicken Salad with Goat Cheese
Fig and Chicken Salad with Goat Cheese is the perfect summertime salad. It is my newest addition to the Olive Sunshine collection of fig recipes. If you have not already heard, it is fig season in Florida. I love fresh figs. Not because they are my favorite fruit, but because they are subtle and sweet […]
