Olive Tapenade
Olive tapenade is an olive spread dish that originates in the south of France (Provencal region). The name comes from the Provencal word for capers, tapeno. It's generally eaten as an hors d'oeuvre, usually as a spread on bread, crackers or crostini (small pieces of crusty toasted bread).

Milk Facts You May Not Know
If you're not a voracious milk consumer, but like to have a some milk on hand for occasional bowls of cereal, cooking and perhaps a coffee creamer, sometimes those half gallon containers of milk sit in the refrigerator longer than we intend. As a rule of thumb, milk can retain its freshness for up to one week after the expiration date on the carton.
Most people think that buttermilk is high in fat content. To the contrary, buttermilk only contains about 1% milk fat.

Family Recipe Secrets
Do you keep your special family recipes a secret?
We're all about sharing the family recipes here at Family Recipe Central. But that doesn't necessarily mean you have to share your special recipes with the entire world. A lot of people would like to share their family recipes with other family members, but still keep the recipes within the family.
That's why we provide "family groups" at Family Recipe Central.
You can create a group for your family, and only members that you invite to join your group can view and share the recipes and other content that you keep safe and secure within your group. It's a great way for families to collaborate online, but still maintain some family privacy.
But what happens when Grandma doesn't want to share her secret recipe, even with other family members?
It happens more often than you might think ...
