I don't know about you but give me anything with olives in it and I am guaranteed to like it. Olives are just one of those foods that you either love or hate aren't they? Kind of like avocados. And cottage cheese... So for all you olive lovers out there, this recipe is for you.
This recipe is also safe for almost every special diet out there. If you are gluten free, paleo, whole 30, SCD, GAPS or low FODMAP you will be able to enjoy this one. There are nightshades in this one though so all of you on the AIP unfortunately won't be able to try this dish. That's about the only limitation of this one though. I can't always please everyone with one recipe. Even though I wish I could.

This Baked Tomato and Olive Chicken is topped with tons of fresh herbs including basil, rosemary and oregano which gives the chicken and tomatoes a great flavor. Herbs are such an easy way to add flavor to something aren't they? I really need to get in the habit of keeping fresh herbs around more often. Even better will be when I have a garden to grow my very own. And soon friends, very soon! We get possession of our new house on November 30 so less than a month now! Eek! I am so excited. I can't wait to show you photos. Although I might have to buy a little furniture first... it's going to be a little bare the first little while I am afraid. I have been pinning so many things that I want to fill the house with on Pinterest. It's totally addicting. Speaking of which, did you guys know I have a Pinterest page? I would be thrilled if you joined me on there. I am constantly pinning healthy recipes and other things that make me happy (ah hem, anthropologie clothes and kitchen accessories...).

So my other big news? I have officially started my rheumatology practice! Yep I think you can call me a grown up now. Full time job and everything. I survived my first full week of clinics. And fingers crossed but so far no disasters. I still have lots to learn and new things are constantly coming up, but it is already way better than resident life. Way, way, better. So if you, or anyone you know in Calgary is in need of a rheumatologist feel free to send them my way. I promise I will be nice to them!
As always I would be thrilled if you visited my social media pages on Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook!Until next time everyone, happy eating!
