Penguin Olive Appetizers

Jumbo pitted olives
small pitted olives
soften cream cheese
whole carrots
toothpicks

Drain the juice from your olives. Peel the carrots and slice into coins. Take the jumbo olive and cut out a small wedge. Fill with cream cheese. Cut a small triangle out of the carrot coin. The triangle now becomes the penguin’s beak. Insert the large end of the triangle into the opening of the small olive. Place the small olive on top of the jumbo olive, secure with a toothpick. Place carrot coin on the bottom of the jumbo olive, pushing the toothpick far enough in so it pierces the carrot. Line up the penguins on a platter for an adorable penguin army. Enjoy! via

Homemade Cornucopia or Horn of Plenty

Your favorite bread dough recipe, prepared
1 egg white
Aluminum foil, pizza pan or heavy duty foil

Roll foil pan or large sheet of heavy foil into a cone shape. Twist the end to form a horn shape. Spray foil with cooking spray and place on cookie sheet. Roll bread dough out into large rectangle. Cut into 10 strips about 1 ½ inch wide. Start at end of cone shape and wrap bread strips around and pinch ends together.

Overlap strips so no foil is showing. Continue laying down strips and wrap around pinching ends together until completely filled. You can add a braided edge with remaining pieces of dough. With pastry brush, brush egg white all over bread. Let rise for 20 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes longer. Allow to cool and remove foil. Use as a decoration with autumn fruits and vegetables of choice.
