OLIVE PENGUINS

Simple Olive Penguins made with black olives, mozzarella balls, and carrots, are adorable and make a fun appetizer!
BLACK OLIVE PENGUINS

These aren’t turkeys, but they came to Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone felt guilty eating them because they were so cute. Too bad there weren’t any kids at our dinner, I feel like kids would love them.

I also feel like I am meant to have kids just to make cute things/crafts with them.
I need to borrow some kids.

INGREDIENTS
Large black olives (for body)
Small black olives (for head)
Baby carrots
Mozzarella balls
Toothpicks

PREPARATION
I got everything ready then made a penguin assembly line.
Cut each mozzarella ball into about 4 pieces.
Chop baby carrots into thin disks, then cut out a tiny triangle to make feet. Use the cut out triangle to make the beak.
Slice a large olive & slide in a piece of cheese.
Stack the large olive onto the carrot, then a small olive sideways onto the body. Hold them straight and secure with a toothpick. Insert the carrot/beak.
Repeat as many times as you want/need. Enjoy!

RASPBERRY MASCARPONE TART WITH CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST

A dark chocolate cookie crust filled with whipped mascarpone and topped with raspberries.  Perfect for Valentine’s Day! Do you do anything special for Valentine’s Day?  We really don’t go like to go crazy for this “holiday”, our life is crazy enough 🙂  Although you won’t find us in a restaurant,  maybe I’ll make dessert.   Sometimes I’ll make a heart shaped breakfast for the kids, or some heart shaped cookies.  So creative I know! Stepping away from the hearts this year, but I definitely think that for Valentine’s Day chocolate is a must!  That’s why I started this tart with a dark chocolate cookie crust.  The rich chocolate flavor goes perfectly well with the smooth creamy whipped mascarpone filling.  Mascarpone cheese is a little indulgent (and challenging to spell!) but what better excuse than love to bake with the best ingredients. A few simple raspberries are the topping.  I just love the gorgeous color they gave t...

Portland Homeless Couple Run Japanese-Fusion Hot Dog Cart

Portland Homeless Couple Run Japanese-Fusion Hot Dog Cart : " I found Budd and Grae Lewis outside of the Springwater Church Holiday Bazaar in Gresham this weekend. The Lewises own Domo Dogs , a Japanese-fusion hot dog cart that has no permanent location—much like the Lewises, who became homeless last year. Until then, they'd owned a lovely and modest home in St. Helens. Budd Lewis used to be a successful writer and animator who worked on TV shows like 'Smurfs' while Grae Lewis worked as a technician designing Intel chips. Just before the economy crashed, Grae left her job to retrain as a publisher, anticipating that her job at Intel would either be outsourced or rendered "obsolete". But tuition at her Vancouver, Canada, college was much higher than expected, and the Lewises quickly ran out of savings. To make matters worse, their renter bailed and the couple's home was foreclosed on—a fact they learned when they pulled into their driveway and saw a ...
