Olive Penguins

We were so excited to be asked to host a

Chef Boyardee House Party

We knew we wanted to go with an

Italian dinner, but we wanted to show that with the

same recipe you can have and

adult dinner party

and a fun family dinner.

What do we do for a kids appetizer?

Hummm...

We remember a while back seeing

Olive Penguins

 at Once Upon A Plate

These little guys were so simple.

With a little help from you

your little guys can make this dish themselves.

It is never too early to teach a child it is fun to cook!

Ingredients:

**we did make a few changes**

Olives- Large & Medium (drain)

Mozzarella balls (small)

Italian Dressing

Carrots

Tooth Picks

1.  Marinade the Mozzarella balls in the dressing for a couple of days.

2.  Scrape the out side of carrots and cut into disks.  (this is were you help out)

3.  Cut small "V" out of the disks.  This will make the feet and beak.

4.  Make a small slice into Large olive and place 1 or 2 mozzarella balls into olive.

5.  Place carrot "V" into hole in Medium olive.  This will make the beak.

6.  Attach Medium olive to Large olive with beak facing out with toothpick

make sure to catch cheese with toothpick.

7.  Push toothpick through carrot disk.

Now you have tasty

Olive Penguins

It's practically impossible to look at a

penguin and feel angry.
