Just imagine a cute display of penguins, made with black olives, carrots and cream cheese! You can add scarves and hats by using fresh red pepper strips, or canned pimentos cut into different shapes. Use frilly toothpicks if you can.
Ingredients
- 18 jumbos black olives , pitted
- 1 package cream cheese , 8 ounce
- 18 small black olives
- 1 carrot
Instructions
-
1
Cut a slit lengthwise (from top to bottom) into one side of each jumbo olive. Carefully insert about 1 teaspoon cream cheese into slits in each jumbo olive.
-
2
Slice carrot into 18 1/4-inch-thick rounds; cut a small (pie-shaped) notch out of each carrot slice to form feet. Save the cut out pieces; press pieces into centers of small olives to form beaks. If necessary cut a small slit into each small olive before inserting the beak.

Set a jumbo olive, large hole side down, onto a carrot slice. Then, set a small olive onto the jumbo olive, adjusting so that the beak, cream cheese chest, and notch in the carrot (feet) slice line up. Secure with a toothpick.

Apple Fritter Cake
This apple fritter cake was inspired by the delicious flavor of a warm, cinnamon apple fritter. The lightly spiced cake batter is baked with plenty of chopped tart apple on top, and then finished with vanilla icing. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Chocolate Raspberry Blintzes
It's a minor adjustment to the cheese blintzes located on the website. Sour cream complements the blintzes for dipping.
Southern Summer Squash Pudding
This recipe is a Southern favorite. Try it; you won't regret it! This recipe is perfect for any occasion and has more nutritional value compared to most other desserts. Adjust pan size for thicker or thinner bars (I prefer mine thinner). Cover and refrigerate leftovers. Best served chilled.
