Peep, what is your recipe for Green Olive Tapanade?

I haven't made special food for New Year's in I can't remember when. It's one holiday that I do nothing for.

Well Ambrosia Salad is off the menu this year. I'll be making a Fresh Fruit Tart (first run) instead.

Still not sure about the Cream Cheese/Green Olive Spread.
I'll probably make the olive salad and Green Olive Tapenade tomorrow because they taste better after it sitting for a day or two.

Sass, those meatball sliders DO look and sound great! I just so happen to have leftover homemade meatballs and marinara in the fridge!

Peep, I agree with Sass and I AM wild about green olives. And any other color olives!

Beautiful!

Thank you, Sass and Lee.
I have a bunch of stuff to make, and I just don't have the energy. Not enough sleep due to pain, insomnia and anxiety. DD's have to work the rest of the week, so they can't offer much help.

I'd just not feel pressured and do what you can.
Hope you feel better soon, dear.

A little side note. I am SO glad I tasted the fresh jalapeño I chopped BEFORE I added it to the salsa. WOW, was it hot! I was going to add 2 to the salsa but ended up only adding a 1/4 of a pepper.

I've done that before both ways. Same filling in mushroom caps or clam shells. Sometimes I add crumbled cooked bacon or Italian sausage. You're going to love them.
