Made with olives, carrots, and cream cheese, they're tasty as well as cute. Whenever life calls for a penguin-themed appetizer, you'll know exactly where to look.
50 jumbo black olives, pitted
3 packages (8 ounce size) cream cheese, softened
50 small black olives
3 carrots
Cut a slit from top to bottom, lengthwise, into the side of each jumbo olive. Carefully insert about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese into each olive.
Slice the carrot into 1/4-inch thick rounds; cut a small notch out of each carrot slice to form feet. Save the cut out piece and press into center of small olive to form the beak. If necessary cut a small slit into each olive before inserting the beak.
Set a big olive, large hole side down, onto a carrot slice. Then, set a small olive onto the large olive, adjusting so that the beak, cream cheese chest and notch in the carrot slice line up. Secure with a toothpick.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

I have made these before and they are really cute to serve, especially around the holidays. They are easy to put together. However, make sure that your cream cheese is soft and smooth otherwise they will break the olives when you are trying to fill them. This would be a fun project for the kids to make, too.
