Olive Penguin Appetizers

Olive Penguin Appetizers... I recently stumbled upon this cute idea on foodgawker and instantly tried to duplicate it. It was very easy to do...and I loved the way they came out. Too cute! You don't need a lot of ingredients. I used just extra large olives.... though I think the recipe called for jumbo(body) and small(head) olives. You can make the penguins as skinny or fat as you like by varying the amounts of cream cheese filling. Hope you enjoy...

You will need:

olives
baby carrots
cream cheese
toothpicks

Directions:

1. Cut a slit in olive.

2. Cut a wedge from a slice of baby carrot

3. Cut small strips of carrot for the nose

4. Fill olive with cream cheese, place "nose" in second olive and assemble using the toothpick to hold the penguin together.

Anonymous said...: I HAD to check this one out when seeing "penguin" in the recipe title! (Although I knew there'd be a twist to it) ;)

Thanks for posting it Ellie as I would probably never had found it otherwise.; June 4, 2011 at 5:04 PM

BOW THE KNEE

There are moments on our journey following the Lord
Where God illumines ev’ry step we take.
There are times when circumstances make perfect sense to us,
As we try to understand each move He makes.
When the path grows dim and our questions have no answers, turn to Him.

Chorus:
Bow the knee;

Trust the heart of your Father when the answer goes beyond what you can see.
Bow the knee;

Lift your eyes toward heaven and believe the One who holds eternity.
And when you don’t understand the purpose of His plan,
In the presence of the King, bow the knee.

There are days when clouds surround us, and the rain begins to fall,
The cold and lonely winds won’t cease to blow.
And there seems to be no reason for the suffering we feel;
We are tempted to believe God does not know.
When the storms arise, don’t forget we live by faith and not by sight.

HOW DEEP THE FATHER'S LOVE FOR US

How deep the Father's love for us

How vast beyond all measure

That He should give His only Son

To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss

The Father turns His face away

As wounds which mar the Chosen One

Bring many sons to glory

Behold the man upon a cross

My sin upon His shoulders

Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice

Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him thereUntil it was accomplishedHis dying breath has brought me lifeI know that it is finished
I will not boast in anythingNo gifts, no power, no wisdomBut I will boast in Jesus ChristHis death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?I cannot give an answerBut this I know with all my heartHis wounds have paid my ransom
Why should I gain from His reward?I cannot give an answerBut this I know with all my heartHis wounds have paid my ransom

KIND AND MERCIFUL GOD

Kind and merciful God, we have sinned in Your sight,

We have all wandered far from Your way;

We have followed desire, we have failed to aspire

To the virtue we ought to display.

Kind and merciful God, we’ve neglected Your Word

And the truth that would guide us aright;

We have lived in the shade of the dark we have made,

When you willed us to walk in the light.

Kind and merciful God, we have broken Your laws

And in conduct have veered from the norm;

We have dreamed of the good, but the good that we could

We have frequently failed to perform.

Kind and merciful God in Christ's death on the cross

You provided a cleansing from sin;

Speak the words that forgive that hence-forth we may live

By the might of your Spirit within.

Kind and merciful God, bid us lift up our heads

And command us to rise from our knees;

May our hearts now be changed and no longer estranged,

Through the power of Your pardon and peace.
