  1. I just got into bed and clicked on Autostraddle and now ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS EATING ALL THESE DELICIOUS OLIVE RECIPES.

    They look so damn good.

    • Well, sweet dreams, then! I hope you dream of eating your way through an olive buffet with the celesbian dreamboat of your choice.

  2. You need to stop making these articles where all i can do for the rest of the morning is try to decide which one or two to make (don’t ever stop!) ♡

  3. Olives are the perfect food so this is the perfect roundup.

    (I had an ex who hated my hyperbole. I told her I was literally the most ashamed I made her feel that way. :D)

  5. I just happen to have a bunch of olives in the house. The only problem now is which thing to make first, so many delicious things!!!

  6. Oh man, unfortunate timing! I’m sure all of these recipes are delicious, but somehow seeing a bunch of pictures of olives first thing in the morning is just…not…good…

  8. My fave olive thing is those little balls of like, cheese bread wrapped around an olive and baked. They’re the best appetizer, also pretty easy to make.

  9. One time I realized that putting kalamata olive brine in mashed potatoes was way better than plain old salt and after that I never threw away olive brine again.

    Thank you for these delicious recipes.

  11. OLIVES IN A SOUP?!?!?!?
    olives are the best food, i have been eating them by the jar lately. thank you!
