 So, my friend Candida Johnson made this, and it was really good. I liked my version less, but it was fun to try. It's essentially equal parts of:  black olives kalamata olives stuffed green olives (these are the garlic and jalapeno stuffed kind at Costco). I think Candida also added plain green olives so it almost ended up being half green olives. But, you pulse it in the food processor and there you go.

 No one in their right mind would want to eat this. I am putting this here for my reference b/c it is a low sugar version I can eat on a regular basis.  1 cup cornmeal 1/2 cup flour 1/2 cup almond flour 1 1/2 T. sugar 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 2 eggs 2 T. butter 6 T. olive oil 1 cup buttermilk Bake at 375 for 30 minutes.

This is fantastic, and I got this from my work friend Candida Johnson. Massaman Curry 4 potatoes 1 massive chicken breast 2 zucchini 1 onion I also did some mushrooms peanuts I used cashews instead 6 carrots about 1/4 of the Mae Ploy Massaman Curry package I used closer to 1/3 BIG spoon of peanut butter I used a big cereal spoon 1 can coconut milk 1 cup water Don't go over this, and if you keep the lid on, go less 1/4 cup cream I tried half and half, and it's not as good She sautees the chicken in 1 Tbs of butter, and then she adds everything else and simmers until it is done. I would probably take the chicken out so it doesn't overcook. Here are some of my takeaways. First, I caramelized the mushrooms and onions after I took the chicken out (so it didn't overcook), and I added the water at that point. I would mix the remaining sauced ingredients before you add the other vegetables. Also, the zucchini gets overcooked before the potatoes and carrots are done, so I would

  This had a nice, subtle flavor. You could easily swap out or add any vegetables you like, so it's versatile. I left the corn out and added yellow squash and 1/4 red onion, but it would also be good with bell peppers or fresh peas or other summer veggies.
