This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carapelli Olive Oil for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Cake with olive oil? Yes, it’s true and it’s mighty good. Yeah, I was skeptical myself, but what a pleasant surprise. The key to finding the right flavor in an olive oil cake is using a high quality olive oil that is good enough to eat on its own.

It’s that time again when gift giving is in high gear, so KitchenAid and I have teamed up to give you a chance to win their new 13 Cup Food Processor. While only one reader will be chosen to win this giveaway, all of you will have every reason to place this on your wish list.
As many of you I love my food processor. In fact it gets more action time than my mixer. Yes, it’s true, for a baker this is highly unusual. Then again I may be the only baker I know that does not sift leavening agents, like baking soda. into dry ingredient; rather, I mix it in with the wet ingredients.
See a pattern here?

Easy Chicken Pot Pie
To kickstart the season on the savory side, I decided to combine a warm soup with a flaky crust and created a fast-and-easy chicken pot pie recipe with a hands on time of only 40minutes. Homemade stock is the best, but sometimes I don’t have time. To get things moving fast in terms of flavor, I browned some thyme and sage with bacon and then threw in the celery and carrots for a mirepoix. The bacon mirepoix along with 1/2 package of onion soup mix is base of of this of chicken pot pie. Follow the rest of the recipe and you will be done in no time.
