Congrats! Please email me momwhatsfordinner@yahoo.com with your address so you can receive your kit!

Time for more picnic ideas. For us they are Sailboat meals. Whenever we go out on the sailboat, I have a full days work ahead of me to stock our boat with easy serve meals. The less utensils and dishes the better. It is the same for beach trips and pool trips. Our Summer is jam packed with all of the above so I have been working hard to come up with creative offerings for my family and guests. 

I was so happy and grateful to receive a package in the mail from the The Musco Family Olive Co. the leading supplier of olives in America. They are a California-based producer of Early California and Pearls brand olives. Olives are a great-tasting, all-natural and healthy snack for kids OR adults, and are gluten-free, kosher and vegan. If you want to learn about their farm to table process visit their website here. Look at this nice package they sent me! I was so excited!

I absolutely love all these olives. Funny random fact about myself... I had never tried a green olive until today. I don't know why, I just never had. Well, now that I have, I discovered I love them and will be using a lot of them from now on. I left a small bowl out on the counter as I cooked today and ended up eating all of them. Some of the olives I was sent are low salt, which help people who have to watch their sodium (which is becoming a  big issue in health since most packaged food is loaded with sodium). And they don't taste any different from regular olives. I loved these olives so much I am hosting a giveaway for this kit. Winner will be shipped the same kit as shown above directly from Musco Family Olive Co.
