A treat for the olive lover! Ripe olives are made into a paste with pine nuts, olive oil, and garlic and spread on toasted slices of French bread. The olive paste also is amazing as a spread on sandwiches or as a dip.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
