Holiday parties mean great food. Today I’m making cream cheese and black olive penguins to liven up all your winter celebrations. They’re fairly simple to make using 3 ingredients: black olives in 2 sizes, cream cheese, and a sliced carrot.
Halloween Spider Eggs
Today’s treat is another fun food art for your Halloween gatherings – Deviled eggs decorated with black olive spiders. Like last Monday’s recipe for Monster Eyes, use your favorite deviled egg recipe or mine. If you want a gross monster look, add a few drops of green food coloring to the egg yolk filling. I’m not crazy about food coloring, and I stayed with the traditional yellow filling. I think it’s still fun. Cut your eggs in half lengthwise and fill with your deviled egg mixture.

Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Chips
Need a great appetizer filled with fresh fruit flavor? How about a great fruity dessert? Fruit salsa with cinnamon chips is the perfect answer. Easy to make and loaded with the fruit of the season, fruit salsa is a great party food, dessert, or a snack. I’m basing my salsa on fresh strawberries with apples and raspberries. Can’t find raspberries? Try a tropical twist with crushed pineapple. Yum! You can also substitute with the fruit of the season – peaches, nectarines, grapes, the list never ends.
