New Blog!

This is a group of 13 friends and neighbors that get together once a month to enjoy good food and share recipes. Each month a different girl hosts and does all the cooking. Every few months we have a "couples night" which means we get to bring our husbands and two girls work together to host the increased crowd. By the years end, each of us has only had to cook one great meal and in exchange you get to enjoy 9 others!

1/2 cup chopped Kalamata olives
1/2 cup chopped peppers (assorted colors)

Chimichurri (green stuff that I put on the steak)

1/2 jalapeno (no seeds)
1 shallot
4 cloves of garlic
1 tsp of each: Cumin, Salt & Pepper
Juice of 1 lime
Splash of red wine vinegar
3/4 cup olive oil

Take all ingredients and put in a food processer
Process till chunky
Lower speed and gradually add the olive oil until consistency of salsa
